I'm not worried, and the reason has already been stated in this thread- add-ons never work. Go all the way back to the 2600, there was a keypad released for 1 game... it didn't take off. The NES had things like U-Force, Power Glove, even the Zapper and ROB didn't see much support. The Genesis proved it wasn't limited to controllers, both the Sega CD and 32X were commercial failures. Nintendo screwed up again with the N64 expansion pack, while Sony failed with the Eye Toy. Even now, Wii Fit isn't seeing a ton more games for it. So if it doesn't come with 100% of the systems, it won't take off. Even if Sony packs this with every PS3 from here on out, developers know that there are 22 million PS3 owners who won't have it (and 30 million on the 360, but that's not really the breath of the topic), and will thus ignore it, destined to have it fail.

Wake me up when Sony copies Nintendo (again) by making it standard for the PS4. That's when they'll have a chance... if half the PS3 owners don't chide them for it.

 

 The only thing that I disagree with is the N64 4mb expansion pak, quite a few games support it If I can recall correctly. The N64DD on the other hand...

Also, not all add-ons have flopped saleswise. The PC Engine CD ROM unit had a ton of games for it (alot of them JPN-only) & added a few years to the PC Engine's lifespan. PC Engine is the japanese version of the TG-16 if you didn't know.

On topic: Honestly, it's gonna take a massive amount of effort for Sony if they want to make that controller popular!
