(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sony may be attempting to change the way gamers play through a new hybrid controller. The company published a patent (via The Sixth Axis) for a "Hybrid Separable Motion Controller" on November 29 after originally filing for it during May 2011.


Drawings from the patent filing indicate that the snap-together controller will be a mashup of Sony's standard DualShock controller and its Move motion input. It will also include components like a magnetometer and accelerometer, as well as support for vibration and audio playback through an embedded speaker.

The filing also suggests a PlayStation Eye camera will be required for use with the new controller. Additionally, it appears games will be able to detect if the controller is split in two or not. It is not clear if the new separable controller is planned for the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation 4, or perhaps both, if it ever exists at all.

Sony has not announced this new controller, and the company was not immediately available to comment. Additional images from the patent filing are below.

I agree with you, it's a very stupid design. The things I would change on the original dualshock 3 is better battery life and maybe us gorilla grip on thumb sticks (similar to mountain bike handles). Sony have shit loads of patent designs one being that they already made 8k led tv.


lol don't forget the bio-metric patent of dualshock 4!!!:p
