@ axumblade - So then the PSmote is confirmed to have 2 analogue sticks, a d pad, 4 trigger buttons, x, O <| and [], as well as a start button?

That's going to look more ludicrous than the joke controller for the PS9 with a bjillion analogue sticks

....there are supposed to be 2 wands iirc....do the math on where the buttons would end up.

ALSO, I never said that it's going to. I said that it was going to be just like that. I merely said it would be a likelier scenario then putting motion controls in every game.

 

Ok, I didn't know that they'd announced 2 seperate remotes. That's cool then.

 

Although it still seems like a waste to put a 2nd analogue stick on when it won't be used for anything except allowing you to play past games without using motion control. No, I'm sure they mean they're going to patch in motion control to most currently existing games

Only one analog stick and two triggers on each, but you could use two controllers for legacy games:

apparently Sony registered this at the patent office in june 2008, with variants (source: NeoGAF)
