Sony Tags SIXAXIS For PS3 Controller

By James Munn | October 3, 2006

Although it’s hardly surprising, Sony Japan has tagged their PS3’s multi-axis motion sensing controller as “SIXAXIS”. I like the name, it’s possibly one of the few things about their launch that actually make sense. I still maintain that keeping the PS2 shell with added features, will help them in the long run.

Imagine how close we were to the Boomerang.

I have to say, I'm mixed on this one. My initial reaction to the boomerang was one of fear and awe.
I hated it intitially but then I decided I really wanted to give it a try (I still do). I like the SIXAXIS improvement (and the real triggers) but I will REALLY miss rumble. I expect a controller to rumble as a standard. Thats one of the reasons I don't use my wavebird as much anymore, because I missed the rumble.
I hope they use the motion sensing in a subtle way, rather than HEY LOOK AT TEH MOTION SENSORSSS kind of way.

Subnet6: I will only miss rumble in racing titles and even then, I'll be using a racing wheel. After using my Logitech GT Wingman Force Feedback for GT3 A-Spec, I could never go back.
