Did you just say the six axis is a rip off gimmick?

*laughs at how Ckmlb and Hus are the only two trying to spin this as being a good thing*

Yeah, that was inflammatory and rude, but you both deserve it. This idea is stupid. Why anyone would defend this is just unfathomable. Sony fans should be appalled by the sheer level of polarization this is going to create in comparison between the Wii and consoles that try to do the same thing, third party or not. I mean, as if the Six Axis wasn't a bad enough black eye, now you're letting a third party put a bandaid on the problem?! The PS2's underbase is just going to compound the matter too, not help it, unless you're hoping the sheer statistical volume of consumer stupidity in such a large underbase will somehow make this bad idea a success in which case that would only spell trouble down the road for Sony's quality if future third party bandaid ideas like this were to be pursued for the PS3. Does the sheer appeal of possibly, somehow, hurting the Wii's success really warrent walking down this path blindfolded?

That he did.

And that it is.  I won't say it's "gimmicky", but I would absolutely agree it was a ripped-off idea.

WiteoutKing ... you take the cake for HUGE SIGNATURES

..the six axis has bluetooth..wii doesnt use bluetooth you move 6 or 7 feet away from the system you lose connection, you move 20-25 feet away from tv the ps3 controller is still connected.

 six different directions can be sensed at the same time making the six axis a better option for racing games.

Soriku you are obsessed with the wii, you said it would sell 20 million by end year.. you said ps3 wont even hit 5.5million...wow.

@Leo-J. Wii actually does use Bluetooth, do your fucking homework. And only you, only you would in any way try and spin Six-Axis as being a good thing. Dear God.

Relevant text:

The controller communicates wirelessly with the console via short-range Bluetooth radio, with which it is possible to operate up to four controllers as far as 10 meters (approx. 30ft) away from the console.

The Wii can do all of that as well, obviously.

 I think it's a good thing. It's not perfect, but neither is the Wii Remote. 

Like most other posters in this here thread, I have serious doubts that this will be anything more than a flop. I can only name one third-party add-on that had any sort of success this past generation (the Guitar Hero controller), and people only plunk down money for that because the games are so awesome. In fact, I can't name a single other third-party console add-on EVER that has had similar success to the GH controller; most of them are horrible flops, gimmicks, and quick cash-ins.

What people fail to understand is that the Wii Remote is successful because there's an entire console, with a 4-5 year lifespan ahead of it, geared exclusively toward that specific control system. Unless Sony were to, at the very least, bundle these motion-sensing doohickeys with a PS2, they'll never take off.

So, yep. After this Christmas, we'll have one more failed gadget to add to the pile of junky third-party console accessories.

The Wii Totally uses bluetooth. If it doesn't, then my Bluetooth adapter and GlovePIE Are working via magic. and stays connected AT LEAST 30 feet away. I went OUTSIDE, Through Brick walls, accross the STREET, and it still worked. BTW, The Wii Remote Uses Accelorometers. SIXAXIS uses Gyroscopes. Which do you think is more sensitive?
