PS3 can have 7 controllers connected at once?

Why not 8?

Nothing angers me more than odd numbers.

I think its stuck at 7 due to Bluetooth technology at the time.

Afaik, if there were 8 or more the connection became unstable and couldn't be used properly.

Although I could be wrong.

This limitation sounds strange because it seems that the Wii can actually have 8 controls synchronized at the same time (Just Dance 2 has local multiplayer mode for 8 people). I wonder how Nintendo is doing it.

maybe its because of the controller led indicators, because there are only 4 leds it would be impossible to indicate the 8th controller, i thought they could have just have the fourth indicator blinking when an eighth controller is connected but people might mistake it for the controller needing charging..... thats my theory
