speaking as someone who holds a PS2 controller in one hand to play PC games(mouse+controller instead of mouse+keyboard FTW!), it's not going to work well, because PS3 controllers are a bitch to hold in one hand. It is a much better implemented design that I had been expecting though. The ultrasonic sensor sounds problematic for anyone that owns pets though.
They also never said what acted as the reference point for using the ultra sonic sensors, nor how you use an ultrasonic sensor to aim. Sure, this method would be able to track the physical location of the sixaxis even better than the Wiimote, but it'll be impossible to aim the darn thing.
Of course, the real issue is that it's never going to get supported properly, cause it's not a standardized controller. About the only way to possibly be able to get these things accepted is to offer a free trade in offer for those who already own PS3 consoles. Sorta like how Nintendo offered the Wiimote jackets, Sony should let you punch in your console number and they'll send you a box to mail your sixaxis controller in, and they'll send you one of these back. Otherwise no developer is going to be able to design specifically for this.
It really does look like a well thought out concept, but it's essentially too little too late. Hopefully Sony will be able to implement this in the PS4.
