How would using a trackball with your right thumb be any different than using the right analog stick? People are already used to using their right thumb to do these functions, the trackball just adds quicker reaction time and more precision. A clickable scroll wheel in place of the R1 button would be cool too. I doubt any of this will happen, but if Sony also added tilt functionality into the controller and included eye toy with the system, they would cover every base that Nintendo is going for. I can't imagine adding tilt functionality, scroll wheel and trackball to a controller would cost that much. At least not as much as Nintendo is claiming to have spent on their controller. In addition to the controller, the eye toy would pick up movement. You could use your hand (drag, drop, push, etc) instead of the controller. No attachment would be needed, just the controller, and the camera could detect a hand gestures. It just seems more and more like Nintendo is out of touch with what gamers want. I appreciate what they are trying to do. In many ways, they are still the trend setters, but they are no longer the best at what they do. Their games and hardware prove it.
