I always liked the wii Controls but the graphics not so much. I will buy one definetly. Sooner or later but Nintendo games are timeless classics so no need to have one yet.

I also like the Concept of the Arc the design is nice and I liked what I saw on E3. I am looking a little bit forward to it. But there is one problem which nobody seems to mention or atleast I never hear that someone has problems with it. Its in my eyes a catastrophical problem and a huge flaw in the concept. Sony will present Arc soon but I havent seen a solution for the problem. it seems like the people dont register it or just dont believe that Sony could be actually so stupid. Also I have read an Interview some days ago where a developer talked about the arc and he didnt even considered that Sony would actually be so dumb (stupid, retarded) to do what (based on todays informations) they probably gona do. 

I am taking about the thing that we are supposed to hold a Dualshock 3 in one hand and basically use it as a Nunchuk.

I dont know if Nintendo has a patent on the principle of the Nunchuk but sony could find other solutions like 2 pointers one with Stick and the other one with Buttons. I thought months ago that we will see soon the Sony-Nunchuk but nothing yet. And he GDC is my last hope because then something HAS to happen. I still cant believe that sony does such a retarded move.

Am I the only one who would mind this ? Its just so stupid that I cant find words for it. What do you think ? Will the mass of the people mind this problem ?

I see a pretty huge potential in the Arc it could be a great thing not only for casuals but also  for "Hardcore" Players. I love the idea playing Wrpgs FPS TPS and things like that with the Arc. Also the camera offers a lot of things which could be used in games. But imo without a Nunchuk it would be all useless and I wouldnt buy it. Does Sony know that this is a stupid move ?

What do you think would this be stupid or not ?

Hopefully GDC will show us a solution for that, People seem to be absolutely sure that Sony wouldnt do that so they dont even talk about it but maybe thats a mistake because Sony could think that people are ok with that.

For me this decision would be as bad as the decision to use the banana controller as PS3 Controller. I still cant imagine that Sony thought this is a good idea with the banana controller. Maybe the situation now is similar. If they werent able to see the banana controller was a mistake maybe they are not able to see that the DS3 as Nunchuk is a mistake. I dont care what they are going to develop as long as the solution is not holding the DS3 in one hand.

sorry, had a hard time readin with a ton of spaces.

Did you not hear about the wireless nunchuck rumors, there have been lots of them, so I am hoping it is true.

There is no way Sony will waste this opportunity, trust me



it's the future of handheld

Two possible ways I found. Both are pretty comfy.

Simple fix.

Well, well... I had in my mind: "If we have to use the DS3 as a nunchuck, it will be pretty lame. I have no faith in it."

But then i tried holding it like the second link (http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs482.ash1/26406_371610420394_641630394_5470805_1663663_n.jpg)

and it's pretty good! I wouldn't mind holding the DS3 at all!

Or, they could provide with each Arc controller a relatively cheap (50c in manufacturing cost probably) clip on handle for the middle of the DS3 that makes it easy to use either analog stick, whether you're right handed or left handed.

I think a 3rd peripheral device to make Arc work across all Arc games puts it into the realm of either too costly for the consumer to really take up, or having to be sold at a loss. Neither of those options is particularly pleasent to contemplate. Much easier and cheaper to make the DS3 comfortable to use, with a well designed piece of platic you can give away without hurting your profits.

We all know the Arc is gonna have exploding sales. Natal will flop and the Arc will kill the Wii world wide.

I won't argue that, but what was said was: Sony is not that dumb to spend all this money on technology to bring out a device that no one wants and does not work well

And noone wanted it, as VHS was "better" for the consumer

And Excellent depends on who you asked, VHS did everything better than Betamax did, the only real difference was the form factor of the cassettes :)
