If Sixaxis wasnt a mistake it would be still heavily supported by sony, but it provved to be a device that did not live up to the expecatations, DS3 is just so much superior.

You realize DS3 is Sixaxis with rumble, right?

What mistake? It's not like you need to pay extra for that.

Does Wiimote and its motion sensing technology work for every single Wii game? I don't think so. A lot of people use classic controller or GC controller to play games like SSBB and soon MHG and MH3.

It's up to the developers to show their creativity to use it wisely. It's not Sony's problem or the gamers' loss that the developers don't want to use it. People don't buy PS3 for Sixaxis motion sensor.

Flower is one example that Sixaxis motion sensor can be used wisely, actually, Super Rub a Dub is pretty good too. I am not a huge fan of SIXAXIS either, but when I see the developers come up an unique (and smart) way to implement into gameplay, it put a smile on my face.

And Nintendo is making a grave mistake by not coming down hard on this and refusing to license games that insist on CC/GC support. Kinesophobes, developer and player alike, need two control options and only two: take the plunge or go elsewhere.

All games in all genres can be improved through expressive motion control: it's the next step in a lline that goes back through analog sticks, D-pads, and older methods. Devs just need a swift kick out of their old habits; that's all.

It's been in a few games, and i've avoided it because it made the game less fun.

I think it's a good idea, it's just been utilized poorly.

its been out for how long? almost three years and it has been used "well" in how many games??

1, 2 maybe..

just becasue it has been used doesnt mean that was sony's intention...

clearly it was a last minute add on to combat the growing enthusiasum for Wii.

nothing more.. and a lot less

I already named several games and there are quite a few of them, but what difference does it make how many use it? I know I've played a lot more games that use Sixaxis well than use rumble, and not having rumble for awhile was the only consequence.

How many PS3 games do you even play to not have used it? It's all over the place.

I also don't care what the Wii had to do with Sixaxis controls. If they were just copying or had it in development for a long time as well. The fact is they have it and it's used. It doesn't have to be in eveyr game to have its use. Some of the Wii's best games don't use motion either.

I hope the Wii has a more effective method as well because they are the same quality.

Wait, people actually believed Sony when they said that rumble and motion sensitivity didn't work together?

First off, controllers are only meant to rumble when there is something making noise or shockwaves around the character. If there is an explosion near your character, it makes sense for their aim to be off.

Second, unless you turn the rumble up to full, it does not have any effect on your aim. I know, because I have played many FPS's on the Wii.

It works as a sort of side control, like the minigames in Ratchet and Clank Future, and those thingies in Folklore, and sometimes even as a main control scheme like in Flower.

But often, it ends up being something like Lair, and of course this is all people remember: the Lair-type horrible Sixaxis games.

I like it.
