you hold the dual shock with the other hand....
>.<


  What?

 

They can't be serious, that is a terrible idea, wow, well I guess flop confirmed

why?  because holding a DS3 is so different from holding a nunchuk?

or because you can actually move both controllers freely without being limited by the connecting cable?

the Dualshock is wider and heavier and less comfortable than the nunchuk

The LHS of the dual shock is quite similar to a nunchuk in functionality (infact it's the same but with an added d pad) so that could certainly work.

badgenome - perhaps some form of peripheral could take care of that for you. The PShand

Functionality isn't the issue, its comfort and ease of use, you think most people are going to want to hold the controller one handed while manipulating the wand with the other?  It doesn't sound comfortable and will probably put off a lot of people.

i've just tried to hold DS3 with one hand, it's really not that different from holding a nunchuk (for adults).

for kids, maybe will be a little bit too big.  but i think the kiddy games will only require the wand.

they are not supposed to play FPS or TPS anyway.

Try boxing with a remote in one hand and the dualshock in the other

So for a four player game you might need 8 wands?

Game pad + wand is about as far away from elegant as you can get. I guess Sony didn't want to add cost by including some kind of nunchuk clone.

A third party might step in with a half a dual shock, but this isn't going to help adoption.

which Wii boxing game supports 4 players?

even 2 players will be too crowded to be tracked by PS Eye.  i think most of the boxing games on PS3 that utilize motion control will focus on online for the multiplayer mode.

Well not necessarily boxing, any 4 player game in which a person needs two wands.

Also LAN gaming is still preferred by most over Internet gaming, Sony would be unwise to ignore that
