Actually the PS3 controller is the standard PS controller, only silvery, and with the motion sensor. If you're going to say it's a rip off of the Wii's controller, get it right. It's not ripping off anything. It's similar in that it has a motion sensor, but Nintendo didn't invent the motion sensor. In fact, I'd say that Nintendo is ripping off EyeToy. EyeToy was the first controller which allowed gamers to control game action not by buttons, but by motion. And its graphics are actually really good. The difference is nominal, and if you care that much, you need a life. Also, of course its format isn't standard. It uses a disc system which only has 2 players made for it, and they come out this week. It can't be standard if it isn't used yet. Try valid arguments, please.
It can't be standard in the small time frame between now and the PS3's release. I've STATED WHY (Crazy prices and the average person, read my posts). It won't become standard, will flop, and will probably be beaten by HD-DVD.
Sony has such a blatant rip off of the Wii, Eye toy was an extension to use and it didn't use the 6 axis motion sensing that the controllers now use. That is what Nintendo pioneered and what Sony stole.
That's my point, the graphics are the same as the 360 yet the PS3 costs way more for a non standard HD player and a ripped controller? I'd rather stay with a 360 which has better titles, better support, better online, realiability (I don't want a rootkit in my controller k?) ..fuck it the 360 has better everything.
Sony loses, MS Wins (again). This is how MS dominates every market they enter and this is what I base my original point on.
Please, if you have any logical argument against this please post it, it'd be interesting to read.
