It supports seven controllers via Bluetoth. Bluetooth technology enables 8 devices to work together; the 8th device beeing ps3 itself, that's why the number is 7. I think that even if a sixaxis is connected via USB, it is really connected via bluetooth - the usb cable only charge the controller.

the official thing about that is : THE PS3 SUPPORTS 7 BLUETOOTH DEVICES

so, i can't assure you that it's up to 7 controllers ... but anyway, almost no game will have more than 4 controllers on at a time

most team sports games will support more than 4 controllers.  Soccer, Football, basketball, maybe baseball.

no game that supports split-screen will ever have more than 4 players.  in sports games, all of the players are on the same screen.  there is no need for split-screen in sports games.

i think other bluetooth devices (ie headset, remote) dont count as one of the 7 controllers

the ps3 supports 7 controllers a combination of wired and wireless
