Subject: Sony is panicing

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

Getting a little fanboy-ish?

no, i have both PS2 and Xbox
and i like Xbox a lot more for many reasons
no memory card
good controllers
good games
Microsoft is smart enough to keep the good games for only the Xbox
and many other reasons

PS2 has some good things, but personally i think Xbox is better

And why would anyone find this particularly interesinting, besides obvious. It's obvious that the PS3 is being threatened, due to the fact its release has been delayed twice. XBOX RULES, AND SO DOES HALO, GIVE ME AN AMEN.

"it was very close to the same design as the 360's controller, the only difference was the buttons and that it was a boomerang"
Take away the buttons and the bomerang shape and what do you have? Nothing. Yes, it looks like the 360 but so does the PS2, Cube and Xbox controller.

i got this information in some internet sites
newspapers, magazines
ive seen it many times, at least where i get my info

i know for a fact about the boomerang controllers being taken early on just around the time when all the 360 stuff was being announced
and i saw on G4 in E3 that the new PS3 controllers have the Joystick idea, but with just one controller, not 2 different things like Nintendo Revolution

They are? I'd first like to see proof to this statement (I'm not flaming you).

I never heard of Sony being sued by Microsoft for stealing the controller design, if you know of this could you provide references?

Anyway, I wouldn't say they're panicking yet though, it's just their presentation for this year's E3 wasn't as great (my opinion) as the last. I found myself skipping through most of it due to boredom. Most of the ideas presented were already done before, and it's obvious that Sony has lack of originality (such as the controller design), and didn't really make me want to buy a PS3 after seeing the price.

In summary, it was "More talk, less show."

they are, right now
they have been since Halo 2 and 360 came out

the PS3 originally had the boomerang controllers
but was threatened to get sued by Microsoft b/c it was very close to the same design as the 360's controller, the only difference was the buttons and that it was a boomerang

and now PS3 is using Nintendo Revolution's idea of moving the controller with your guy you play in the games
the joystick idea
now the PS3 controllers have that idea
if you move the PS3 controller (not the analog) your guy moves.
there is still the analog, but you can now somehow move you person by moving the controller
it shouldnt be long before Nintendo threatens to sue Sony

and with Halo 3 coming out around PS3, they are panicing
and for a long time, they couldnt think of something for themselves beside the actual games
first there was Xbox Live, then PS2 online (which sucks by the way)
and then the controller ideas
and many others

SONY IS CRACKING UNDER PRESSURE


Is there a reason why you put it in poetic form? Just asking.

From what i've heard sony was actually having to delay the ps3, all the way back to the drawing board. With that happening would they be loosing alot of money?

The fanboy-ism in this topic is massive. Im ashamed to have my first post in this new forum spent on pointing out this tripe.

Btw the origonal sony controller (dualshock) had to be changed because it was a technology problem. They didnt have usege rights or something. i think it was settled out of court hence the new (old) remote being the one on launch date. As for the movement thing, does sound like a bit of "quick lets cram in as much stuff as we can" mentality to me. Like the 7 controller thing (if that was real, never botherd checking).


post end.

Even without the controller problems, sonys having problems. There really aren't any big games left on playstation. Xbox has xbox live. PS3 has PS Online. People who don't even own xboxs know what XBL is, but if I go up to someone and ask, "Do you have PS Online?", there's a 95% chance they'll go, "What's that....?" Also, they're aren't many killer app series left on it. Let's see... They have Teken.... They have Grand Turismo.... And that's pretty much it. They lost Final Fantasy. Xbox has Dead or Alive, and PGR. Sony's in a hole ATM.

You do know most of Sony's Initial ideas were *cough*stolen*cough* from nintendo. Nintendo came up with the 2 key factors in gaming, analoge stick AND rumble.
