What annoys me about the PS3 is the lack of a sixaxis pointing system on PS3 games. Apparently most developers are lazy dim witted fanboys with no idea at all about how to use the sixaxis !.
Only a few titles seem to make use of it ie motorstorm is the first PS3 game to hit 1.5M in the US, and most others I would consider it a minor feature like folklore or Resistance.

Mabey when there are 10million PS3 owners one could hope to see a FPS game which uses sixaxis motion pointing to speed up game play. Currently console FPS games are an exercize in bordom and fustration at the slow pathetic pace of play that thumbstick controllers seem to produce - so i will be sticking with my old PC untill this changes.

Till I see such a game my PS3 is just for Blu-rays.
I have TC4 on order which is the only console game with a fast aiming system (it uses a light gun similar to the WiiMote).

I am actually really glad that Sony made a loss when i bought My 60Gig PS3 and they wont be getting it back from me untill i see an FPS game with motion pointing if ever that happens.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhmmmm, maybe it's because the SixAxis doesn't have a pointer? It only has gyroscopes.

Gyroscopes !  It actually only has ONE single axis mems gyroscope aligned arounnd the vertical axis. Its sensitive to left-right pointing of the controller only. No games use this sensor which is odd since it  maybey the most expensive component in the sixaxis ! Mabey sony screwed up the electronics ? OR games developers have not figured out how to calibrate it - it's never been used to my knowledge !

The only game so far to attempt motion aiming is drakes fortune and this is only for throwing grenades and only controls vertical axis its hampered because you still need thumbsticks to aim l-r. The lack of grenades means players rarley get to practice this technique anyway.
I dont count the zoom aiming feature in GRAW because the tilt l-r -f-b aim adjust is used like a thumbstick and is consiquently equally slow (however amusing it seems).
So most developers AND Sony basically are lazy slackers who cant write games using their own hardware. !
