Controller Comparison - PlayStation 3 vs. Wii

ZiakII writes "Engadet has an article comparing the PS3 Controller to the Wii's Controller. From the article: 'The motion control, however, was another story entirely. Whereas the Wiimote seemed to produce different experiences in different games and scenarios, the only title being shown with motion on the PS3 produced one experience: laggy control.'"

Sony Does Not Innovate

That's a PS3 controller? Looks just like a PS1 controller to me.

Thanks for the great design, Sony.

It's going to look kinda suspicious on a gamer if their right arm is much more buff than their left.

At least now they'll have an excuse that doesn't scare (normal) people.

Something tells me that people will be even more scared if I try and tell them that I got all that exercise playing with my Wii... especially since I'm a girl.

Will you marry me?

"That arm's stronger because I play with my Wii a lot"

Oh yeah, problem solved.

"I wonder if any married couple has ever met on Slashdot :)"

If that ever happened, I'd be hesitant to click on the photos link.

How about an exercise? Boys, pay attention, this is especially for you. What would happen if we did a little term swap here.

...if the next iteration of the Xbox or Playstation can rip off some of Nintendo's good ideas, I think we'll all be better for it.

If we replace the first phrase with Windows and the second term with Linux's then we get:

...if the next iteration of Windows can rip off some of Linux's good ideas, I think we'll all be better for it.

The first phrase is modded +4 interesting and the second is modded -NaN Overated Flametroll. Now, is slashdot awash in Sony fanboys or did you all start drooling so much when you read fangirl that you completely ignored that statement? Competition is good. Ripping off someone's idea is bad, because it leads to uncontrollable patenting by paranoid companies.

Now that we have that out of the way, will you marry me?
