Sony - Sixaxis a mistake? - View Post

In order for SIXAXIS to be a mistake it needs to have cost Sony more money then they will ever make from it. We don't have any clue how much money it cost Sony so nobody can rightfully say it was a mistake.

In order for SIXAXIS to be a failure it needs to have failed at whatever purpose Sony put money forth to develop it for. It was developed to offer a unique control feature in games that choose to utilize it. It's done that with many games and will likely continue to do this with games in the future. I don't see how anyone can rightfully consider SIXAXIS a failure considering its done and continues to do exactly what it was made to.

In order for SIXAXIS to be a gimick, it has to see far less use then it was originally developed to. I think anyone could easily make the argument that SIXAXIS hasn't been used to Sony's original expectations, but I don't see how this is any different from the Wii Remote and DS microphone features. All of these cost money to design and while they have been used well in a select number of games, they haven't seen widespread use.
