This dual analog stick design is pointless. They might as well just stick one of those balls to the front of a DS3 if thats what you want.

There is a reason that the Wii only has one analog stick. The IR pointer is the second analog stick. On the PS3 wand, the light ball is the second analog stick.


It's not really a second analog stick though. It's a tool to interact in the 3d space.

It is to be used as a second analog stick. For instance, the Wii's nunchuck analog corresponds to the 360's left analog stick, allowing for movement. The Wii's IR pointer (and WM+ now if they wanted to) corresponds to the 360's right analog stick, allowing you to look around.

 

Edit: I think I get what you're saying. The wand might not be used as a pointer at all, but to detect other motion. In that case you would need 2 analog sticks.
