Patent applications. We love ‘em. The latest nugget of gadget information to leak through the US patent office is that Sony’s got a Wiimote-esque pointing device up its secretive sleeve.

See, Sony’s latest plans are for a controller using “a receiver portion including one or more sensor units located in or near the target area.”

That sounds suspiciously like the Wii’s sensor bar to us, and we don’t doubt for a second that the boffins in Sony’s design centres could knock up something similar for the PS3.

Sony’s console certainly packs the power to crush the Wii. If the PlayStation can pull an equally innovative controller out of the bag, it could be enough to worry Nintendo. Watch this space for more as soon as we hear it!

T3 - PSWii?

Ha! If Sony really is considering this...it'll be interesting :bleh:

Sony can just call it an extension of the Eyetoy (Remember, Sony got there first!), Eyetoy 2 perhaps....
 
OMG... If this happenes then Sony will definately win over the other two consoles... Think of it...

You get better graphics then the 360...

You get the best part of the Wii..

And you get Blue Ray...

Sony wins... But wonder what will it be called... Sony Pii :P
 
lol Sony has really become sad..........they cannot get any ideas of their own so they "borrow" ideas frm Wii.......truly sad
 
I quite disagree with you Freefrag... There is an old saying If you cant beat them... Join them.. and its definitely a good move... Keep in mind that Wii cannot get that Gfx quality what PS3 has... So if this information is correct then its a really good idea...

Just one question... How will developers incorporate it in the games at this late hour...

if the feature is good then copying it isnt sad. its smart.
 
Alteast sony has realised that they won't win this battle by sitting on there arse,

so true....its SAD ethic wise, but when has buisness been a ground of morals? Sony is doing all that is required...so did MS (early launch and gud solid titles)...so did Nintendo (do i need to mention?)

and to be frank PS3 does look the best buy if u add a Wii' like remote, the biggest loser i feel in all of this will be gaming....3 competitors are better then 2, and Wii won't do much better then its predecessor against a PS3 wid a Wii like remote and X360(what sense will there be in buying a wii?). Plus PS3 will become something like "Windows", hence not much room for innovation and MS & SONY are 2 of the biggest ever money whores....which means more monopoly oriented products :(
BUT FIRST they actually need to get the controller right and ship games that are as gud as the nintendo ones, Wii is quite safe fr another year or so...who knws what nintendo might dig up till then ;) :D

Lol its the same thing as HD won't be here until we say so, waiting for a half-a$$ed implementation that 6 axis got......
 
Just found out some information, the patent was registered in May 2005, if Sony really did plan on using it on the Ps3, wonder why its taking them so much time....

But then again, Nintendo had registered its patents for Wii back in '99 and still they didn't implement it in the Gamecube.

Though, T3 just dug an old patent out, we don't for sure if Sony really is considering this. (Maybe they already have? SIXAXIS...)
 
Even if Sony does manage to create a Wii doppelganger, it will hardly have any effect on the other two.

The eyetoy was widely acclaimed, but did it generate the same or even near the same amount of sales that the PS2 did? Did it garner huge amounts of support from popular devs? Did it possess games with visual quality as that possessed by many PS2games? The answers to all that is a resounding NO.

The crucial difference between the Wii and PS3 will always be that the Wiimote is standard and as such, most devs are compeled to suppport it unlike the PS2 where the eyetoy was just some added peripheral that most devs ignored. Let's also get serious for a minute, Can you imagine the development costs that would go into producing a game with next-gen graphics and PSmote support?
 
no need to be eloquent when a company of sony's stature blatantly rips something off from another company that proved to be light years ahead of them when it comes to innovation. it's nothing short of disgusting.
 
sheesh.....you look like a sony hater just trying to find reasons to hate Sony...

Sony released the Eyetoy ages ago..... it not catching on is a different matter.....

You talk as if Nintendo are the only ones who have had this bright idea....
 
uhh excuse me but sorry for speaking in favour of the people who got it right first...

the eyetoy cannot be compared to the Wii. lets not even go there. like Ck Nish said, Nintendo were brave enough to make the motion sensing a standard. it paid off for them and it sucks to see others just jump on the bandwagon right after that.

whatever made you think i'm just trying to find reasons to hate sony? i've spoken in favour of the Wii in many threads but i've never really put any other console down. however, if they really follow through with this, my opinion of them will completely change.
 
Ok...so, if you are a top exec at Sony, you would just allow Nintendo to continue to sell their Wiis (no pun intended :rofl: ) and you would sit back on your @$$ and do nothing ?
 
^ Its a great great marketing strategy and seriously nobody (even you ashr) would give a damn if Sony copied it, when you having a ball with the PS3 ;)
