why is it called the sixaxis controller and what will the new one be like?

I am personally hoping the ps3 will have a better controller coming out soon. THe one they have now kinda sucks. I mean the trigger button feels like im pulling a spunge, and i don't like how the left anolge stick is paralle with the other one. Any word on a new and better controller coming out?

the controller design won't change much. The triggers might but the analog sticks have been there since the dualshock's creation. Way better than that other controller if you ask me.

it needs rumble though

I love the sixaxis controller and I dont think their should be a new one because I love the L2/R2 buttons they're like triggers and the best part is that they are light.larsonslike7

the left analog stick doesnt strench out your thumb. Personal i think the sixaxis is perfect how it is

Yeah I have no problems with it at all either, I find it comfortable.

Because it has 6 degrees of tilt?quack_er

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But in this case, do it. Add rumble back.

Frankly I like a wider controller. I agree that the controller (most in general really) are a little small. However, I love the idea of the sixaxis more than a controller that simply shakes on cue.Rumblewas neat at first, but the sixaxis's higher/newer level of input it provides in a game is preferable to me. I hope sony keeps this idea and runs with it.

I doubt thatany generation ofSixaxiswill ever have rumble because (as they stated) it would interfere with motion/tilt controls, which is true. I mean seriously, if the game is controlled by angling and moving the controller in our dimension, do you really want it doing so on its own? Really?

The reason why R1 is used (and was for ps2 games as well) is because you don't shoot a gun with your middle finger, you shoot a gun with your index finger (r1 position). But that's just my take.

As someone who owns a 360 and PS3, I agree that the PS3 controller is very uncomfortable. It is too small, so your hands hang off the end, and I do not have very big hands either. The left analog stretches out your thumb into a very uncomfortable position to where you are holding the controller with you fingers, and not your hands. Also the triggers are terrible. The controllers okay if your just casually playing, but its terrible for hardcore gaming and its many times the difference for whether or not I buy a game for PS3 or XBOX.Mrclutch

I have to ask. Did you have a ps2 before your 360? Because I did and I find the 360 controller extremely uncomfortabled compared to the dualshock/sixaxis design.
