After the unveiling of the PlayStation 3 controller during Sony’s pre-E3 conference in early May the market leader was bombarded with accusations of plagiarising the Wii controller. Since then Sony has remained absolute in its defence of the controller.
Speaking to MCV SCEE president David Reeves once again defended the controller, stating that “it’s been planned for around two and a half years.“
According to Reeves, the secret controller functionality was not revealed earlier, for fear that someone would file a patent to stop it, but did add that they have “already had some positive feedback on it from publishers.“
No matter how resolute Sony is in regards to the origins of the PS3 motion sensing capabilities, the fact remains that to many gamers it will forever be seen as a copy of the Wii controller.
