huh? what do you mean see and so what? the ps3 controller doesnt come close to matching the technology of the revolution remote. From IGN:

Is this technology the same?
No. In fact, the best way to imagine it is to relate the Sony PS3 controller to the left-hand Wii controller; dubbed nunchuck. In short, you would not be able to play a game like Metroid Prime in the same way using the PS3 controller.

What is the difference for developers?
Simply put, it's tilt vs. motion sensing. Monkey Ball for Wii and PS3 would essentially be the same, since it's only using the tilt ability of the controller. On the other hand, a 3D tennis game or sword fighting game with swing control elements is impossible for the PS3 hardware, as it requires full motion sensing technology.

Why doesn't it need a sensor bar?
Since the technology is based solely off the tilt ability, it is self-contained. Keep in mind that the sensor bar is used for the point and click ability of the Wii functions. It doesn't need the bar, since it doesn't use that technology. The same applies to the Wii nunchuck. It can function without a sensor bar.

What type of gameplay styles will work on the PS3 controller?
Here are a few examples: Kirby's Tilt 'n Tumble (which featured tilt control on the Game Boy Color), Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, racing games (using the tilt to rotate), flight sims, Monkey Ball, fishing (flick the tilt controller).

What type of things won't work on the PS3 controller?
The following actions can't be done on the PS3 controller with the same precision: Throwing/Catching a ball at a specific spot shown on screen, swinging a sword in 3D space and performing stabbing motions, aiming a weapon light-gun-style, swinging a racket, punching, general 3D item interaction, 3D drum simulator, swatting an "on-screen" fly, performing two separate tilt/motion functions at the same time.

theres nothing wrong with liking Nintendo. Theres no reason to take this that far.

I will be getting a PS3 as well. But as it stands, Nintendo is not only "not out of the game", but they are on top, and currently stand to win the next generation console war. Any legitimate gaming site can already tell you that. And Game Informer says the same.


I have all 3 current systems each with 30+ games (mostly burned of course) and my gamecube got as much, if not more play, than the others. metroid2, smash bros, kart, all that shit was way doper than the hordes of shitty releases for (xbox especially).

p.s. PC's still make the ps3 look like a "computer" from the 90's. at least mine will

Theres no reason to get a console that will have the exact same games as my pc (IE XBOX360). Sony is doing a little better, but still... not up to par where they should be.

.. and thats coming from a sony fanboy. Ive been jocking them for years...

Ocerto is getting all butt hurt because his precious PoS3 is whack as fuck and overpriced...

Sad, just... sad.

And I find it very hard to believe you never had a problem with Disc read errors at the very least for PS1/2. I personally went through 3 PS1's, after having to put them sideways to be able to play anything. Look it up, it's well documented. PS2 has a problem reading any of the blue discs... again, look it up. I'm not making this shit up. I've been through 2 PS2's so far myself. I've never once had a problem with my Xbox and Gamecube.

i like how everybody bashes ps3 then continues to go on and say they will buy one once the price drops.everything about ps3 is a money issue.if you cant afford it thats cool,just say you would rather have an inferior machine cause its cheaper,everybody will understand. if nintendo is so great than why even worry about eventually buying a ps3? if nintendo was 600 bucks,would you still buy it?

Cause they will have games that the other cant/wont have. Im not loyal to no system or company or whatever, but that nintendo looks cool to me. PS3 will be good too, I just like the idea of the uniqueness that Wii will have. They already got a Madden for it and its not gonna be the same Madden you see on all the other systems. They said there wont be any direct ports of games for Wii, everything will be from the ground up.

exactly how i feel.

people need to stop becoming fanboys of one system and jocking & defending their choice to the end no matter what. Its happened in every single war since Genesis vs. SNES. If people would just take an overall perspective and shit, it would be a lot less of a useless argument battle.

Its not even a damn competition between the two companies. Its funny how millions of people are making it more of a war than it is. And anyway, its obvious the Wii is going to sell more units than Sony instantly with its $250 price tag compared to $600.

And on that note, comparing a $250 system to a $600 system isnt even realistic. This isnt some head-on-head battle between the two.
