Let the riot begin

It's official! Sony has blatantly ripped off the Wii's functionality in a shot across Nintendo's bow. They even reverted to the simple Dual Shock to do so, and just shoved the functionality into it. Nintendo may be in trouble once again because of Sony's gameplan, which is to copy where it can. Discuss.

and its $600.....wow, this is making me sick....
first analog sticks, then rumble, then motion detection. BLAH!

[ShadowMarth]

They ripped every feature they could from both. This is pure history. They invented their Playstation controller. Nintendo showed the Analog Stick for the 64. The PS controller shortly became DUAL analog, because obviously, two is better than one. Nintendo releases a rumble expansion, creating force feedback, and Sony revamps their controller to make the current Dual Shock. It took them a generation, but they caught up to copying the Wavebird as well, being the first RF game controller, and now they've pre-emptively copied the Wii.

Hehe. PS3's controller has no vibration. TAKE THAT!

[ShadowMarth]

What? No force feedback? I can't believe that.

probaly because of all the truble they had as they stole that tec and they can afford to pay royaltys for each controler

So Sony stole Nintendo's Wii-mote, why couldnt they come up with something that they made on there own, and no vibration in the PS3 controller is even worst.

[ShadowMarth]

I'm sure they left out the rumble, if they did, for the purposes of battery life, space, and weight, since all these claims would be negated by it + rev functionality.

[Lkr]

Sony already got introuble for rumble. thats why they had to leave it out

[jjgamepro17]

Well, the dual shock is one thing that they've always had. But if they have to get rid of it in means of making a controller similar to the Wii then I guess they will.
