Did Dirty Harry ever need a second Model 29 to mop up the streets? No sir. Likewise, you'll get by just fine with one PS3 motion controller on your person. "We are approaching the launch [of the PlayStation motion controller] by making sure that all games that we create can be played with one controller and the camera," Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida assured penny-pinching purchasers during a recent interview with Eurogamer.
Of course, adding a second motion controller to your loadout could really make the magic happen: "It's like putting your arms into the TV, like a gaming space, and you have total control of the 3D space in front of you," Yoshida described of the experience of dual wanding.
Woah. Did anyone else just feel that? For a second there we were totally transported into the fourth dimension.

It would be cool if 2 controllers came together, the left had an analogue stick, L1 and L2 on it, the right had X, Square, Circle, Triangle, R1 and R2 (possible second analogue).
That way you could move your character and interact with things as well as control the characters arms...
I can dream...

Wait wait wait...you have to buy a wand AND and a camera to get the full motion controller experience on the PS3 or does this [atrocious] gimmick come with the Playstation Eye?
:thumbs down:
Next thing you know they'll make you wear the PSP around your neck in a pseudo laser tag-vest like fashion while you "use DualShock 3 as a shield".

Wait wait wait, you're telling me that when I get a wiimote, it DOESN'T come with a nunchuck?
And you're telling me I gotta buy the steering wheel seperate?
Next you're gonna tell me that I'm gonna have to buy something to get the motion recognition to be actual 1:1!
There's no way this stuff is gonna sell! Death of the Wii confirmed!

The difference with the Wii is that well, it's already established a huge base with a cheaper price while Sony is trying to introduce the same thing but at a much steeper price. What works for one market doesn't mean it will work for another.

I think the whole concept of this peripheral is summed up in that dude's face in the picture.
"Really? Am I really holding a totally over-sized, poorly-proportioned, monochromatic, goofy-ass DEagle?"

Hey, if they're priced right, I've no problem buying two of them. I've got a controller layout Sony would be able to use that's both appealing to the gamer (because I am one) and its functionallity would work well (because I game and I know what's comfortable). The inards would have to be worked out, but it beats the heck outta a wand that can slip out of your hand and cause problems Nintendo's facing.
