I think krimoz is right and if it is true it will be very expensive (i think)

that would fit in with sony's direction as of late.  high quality devices with high price tags.

I can guarantee that IF this is real (which I doubt) it will never be made.

Fig 8. is instant FAIL. Its bullshit and that clip on traditional controller thing is so fukn wrong its not even 80's Atari worthy

There's your evidence, Sony would not be caught dead making a piece of shit like that



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I think it reeks of innovation personally ;)

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/innovation

i think the word you were looking for was something along the lines of augmentation.

The word you should refer to is sarcasm to understand my post better :)

I don't think its even physically possible to put functional analog sticks on a 1/8" plate without having exposed components on the bottom of the plate

For those who suscpet it's a fake: it's the real deal. The patent application can be seen here

On another note, that controller is butt ugly :p

@FIG.8

and 4 analogue sticks, I know the wiimote and nunchuck is lacking with only one analogue stick, but putting 4 is just ridiclous.

I wish I had something like this from Nintendo... Maybe Nintendo would sell more systems if they did this first... sigh...



Predictions for 2009: (Right) (Wrong) (Partial)

Pokemon Gold/Silver DS Japan in September

NES colored Wii and SNES Classic Controler for Christmas

Super Role Bros for Christmas

FF Remakes announced; VII PS3 VIII 360 IX Wii

New Super Mario World November 2009

Looks like a sex toy.

But it is much more complex than the Wii-remote, and can provide full head/boy tracking apparently, so that's pretty cool.

Fix the look of the controller, and it'll probably be full of win.
