I knew this was coming. I'd predicted it several times in previous threads (not specifically that Sony would patent this controller) that we'd eventually see a combination of a traditional style controller that would separate in to two motion/pointer controllers.
It just made sense with the bridging of the new direction of motion controls and the traditional controller. Now this one is made to work with the existing PS3 and eyetoy, so it ends up having to look a little silly and not nearly as functional as it could be, but imagine in the future (for any company). Having a simple looking controller; we'll use the 360's as an example, and being able to suddenly twist the two sections apart, giving you two wireless motion sensing IR pointing controllers. You'd be able to jump back and forth between different control methods on the fly. I'd be pretty sweet.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
