how many times have patent threads like this about a sony motion control idea that people start imploding into their collective circle jerks of hate?
its not even gonna happen. they're patenting it so that others dont steal it or make it later when they already did |

looking at the pics in the OP, sony is patenting a melon scoop controller? actually, not just that, but dual wielding melon scoops that you can stick together and be darth melon scooper?
oh wait, I see the photoshops now. so they're actually patenting a droopy-eyed sad man controller. |

Pictures are quite ridiculous, but the concept itself it's much more "mature" than wii's.
+ The console can identify precisely the position while NOT pointing at the screen. That's a huge difference. Being able to effectively know the position and acceleration of the controller in any situation is what wii has needed since its birth. + You are not sticked to one controlling method, or the alternative methods are more like traditional controllers, and less like plastic add-ons that doesn't add a thing. This way you can play the games AS ALWAYS if you want. + There's not TWO parts, but a single, configurable one. No useless (when alone) nunchucks. + The "sensor bar" (Here the PSEye) provides new functionalities for people who doesn't have it, and people who already owns the thing, can use it for good. + Wii is an interesting concept runing on crap hardware. This may be one step ahead in motion sensing games with non crappy graphics + The whole thing seems way much more precise than wii prehistorical approach (We need to know if this shit works anyway )- Much pricier than Wii, that's seems obvious. PSEye itself is pricey. - Many different shapes and configurations may be a hell for the developers and the consumers. - The thing is not standard so it won't have the Wii punch, nor the developers focus |

I'm just curious about the sound aspect of it.
I know it's ultrasonic, but still, if it's using sound waves to determine distance, isn't there the possibility of interference with... I dunno... a 7.1 surround system blasting while playing? What about noisy roommates? edit: I bet it's nowhere near the same frequencies (they're probably above 20,000 hz and above human hearing range) but still a concern. What about that high pitched whine that older CRT's make? |

The eye can be had for pretty cheap, but they would need to package everything for an affordable price, which this tech looks like it may not be that cheap. I just dont think it will catch on pre PS4 (if they are very serious about this), but i guess the ps3 can be the "test bed". |

If Sony actually releases this, this just confirms that they have absolutely no idea of what they're doing this generation. I tolerated Blu-Ray, Reeves and other CEOs utterly stupid comments and virtually the loss of every 3rd party exclusive... but if Sony is going to try and turn the PS3 into a waggle paradise more than what the DS2 offers, then I really don't know what to say.
