GDC Rumor: PS3’s Wiimote getting a PS3 Nunchuk

According to THE INTERNET, Sony is planning to basically admit it’s copying the Wii by revealing a Nunchuk attachment for its PS3 Wiimote. The Wiimote, codenamed “Arc” currently exists as a black stick with a pink ball on the end, looking like some sort of Satanic sex toy. Apparently, GDC will add a little bit more. 

NeoGAF is the source of gossip, as it so often is, with one poster claiming he’s seen the attachment with his very eyes. He claims that the nunchuk device has an analog stick with an X and O button beneath it, and a D-Pad under the rest of the input. L1 and L2 triggers are on the underside, presumably where C and Z are on the Wii nunchuk. 

Until it’s confirmed, this is a mere rumor, but it would make absolute sense. Just a remote would severely limit the potential for PS3 games, so it would only be natural that an attachment with more buttons and a stick would appear. There’s no way Sony can avoid looking like a “me too” company if it unveils the thing, though.
