I just ran into this article over at 1up.com.

Almost all of these complaints for the PS3 can be fixed by a system update, and I'm quite sure Sony is working on this as quickly as possible.
The only reason why I said "almost all of these" is because it's not clear weither the issue with the SixaxiS is a software or hardware problem. If it is in fact a software (and to some extent a hardware) conflict, it is VERY much possible to correct the problem with a system upgrade.
I hear and see people complain about the PS3 not being able to proform background tasks, and as this VERY article stated...
The 360 had the exact same problem which MS fixed the problem with a system update.
I'm really getting sick of this whole console bashing, for christs sakes these 2 consoles JUST came out.
This Fanboyism crap needs to stop.
