PS3 Controller To Be Named "SIXAXIS"? |
You all know that Sony got rid of the rumble feature for their PS3 controller, which is said to be the reason why the controller would be a lot lighter than previous ones. You guys also know that the controller will have a six-axis detecting system. But what we don't know is what Sony will call their next-gen controller. They can't call it Dual Shock 3 now that they've removed the rumble feature, could they? Could it possibly be SIXAXIS, to note the six-axis detecting system?
Well, one of the users at 1up suggested to the site that they look up the word 'SIXAXIS' and see what turns up. This may be a long shot in determining whether sony has patented the name for their controller, but 1up looked it up nonetheless and this is what turned up (click on image on the left).
The search didn't turn up anything that could point to Sony calling their controller 'sixaxis' but because the term "six axis" has frequently appeared in Sony's press releases, we couldn't help but speculate. And the term also appeared multiple times in the May 8 announcement of the controller's motion sensing functionality:
"The
controller for PS3 employs breakthrough technology of high-precision,
highly sensitive six-axis sensing system that does not require any
devices other than the controller itself for seamless interactive
operation, thus eliminating additional settings to TVs. With this
technology, ways to enjoy PS3 will be further enhanced by accessing PS3
through the network, while retaining the six-axis sensing capability."
1UP contacted Sony about this but all the company said was that they haven't announced the name of the controller yet. While these are all just speculations, it could be possible that the
company would focus on the six-axis sensing system in naming their
controller. We'll have to wait till TGS to find out, but don't be surprised if you see Kutaragi holding a PS3 controller with a powerpoint slide with the word "SIXAXIS" on it. Hmm...do you think the name "SIXAXIS" would give justice to the controller? Methinks Sony could do a little more brainstorming before they call the controller that. But that's just us. What do YOU think?

interesting.
kinda gay name tho if its tru.
i like DualShock better :(
wtf is with the filename of the controller pics?
*****roller? wtfs with all this biased shyt, and dont even try to say that it was a typo because no one typos like that and capitilzes it.
*****z
The Official name will still be DualShock 3? Why? Because at TGS, Sony is going to "Shock" everybody be announcing the inclusion of the Rumber feature. In other word, Sony is ready to Rumber at TGS. "Let's get ready to RUUUUMBLE!"

where did you hear this? link please. Or are you just making this up.
SixAxis doesn't sound that neat of a name...."wow the controller can tilt in six axis!...so...what's the name? SIXAXIS!"
SIXAXIS i think 6X6 will look better!
6x6
i know what it's gonna be called...
Tilt-o-matic
"SIXAXIS i think 6X6 will look better!
6x6"
So its an awkward piece of wood?
Quote:
nice one! lol
though 6x6 is better than SIXAXIS
all the interviews with phil harrison, he always called it the DualAnalog(ue), not the DualShock. i also believe that the ps3 controller will see immersions rumble in it, might not be at launch but it will happen.
No matter what, they'll be just be controllers. Have any of you guys herd someone say " Hey, pass me the DUAL SHOCK 2". They're just controllers.

So funny. Anyway both are way better than that PooS rumor...
i like that name...
tilt-o-matic that is. the name sixaxis is a bit bent, though it is a palindrome (spell it backwards)
they should go all nintendo and call it something like 'cum' or 'pu'
Hmm sixaxis... could be I guess... but aside from pointing out that the controller has a sensor to detect in six axis... there really is no proof what so ever.
They should just call it the Axis Controller.
they should call it the "SUXASS" controller...
a lighter controller doesn't help take away the fact that theres no feedback in the controller....
The DualShock2 already feels like a frickin candy bar when you hold it.
lol, I mean, nobody care about the name, THE UBER CONTROLLER could be cool, lol. rumble can be usefull: when something touch you it shake or it shake more when you face something so you know where it's coming from, or you can sense the heart's beat of your character =D , and motion sensor is for vehicules controls, shake monsters off you, roll your katamari(ohh yeah) or your monkey ball, move the world in loco roco style games or mercury style games, plane control, weird minigames will surely use this( sometimes devs can be really creative ), dodging bullets? , controlling your vehicule WHILE you shoot ennemies with a turret at the SAME time? lol, must be hard for coordination. I don't know wich is best... I suppose I'd like to have them all. But I don't really care about neither of them, I mean, I mostly play RPGs and they do not really use the rumble for usefull things :S, and they'll surely not use the motion sensor for something really usefull too, surely just controlling the cars :S. anyway, SONY MOTION CONTROLLER is my gess
Too bad the design is last gen.
gay name, gay design, ps1 model, no rumble, no gta exclusive, no re5 exclusive, 600??? + games.. iam out
"gay name, gay design, ps1 model, no rumble, no gta exclusive, no re5 exclusive, 600??? + games.. iam out"
some people just wont let it go will they
get a life retard
Yeah it can be called the "Axis controller" and be the official controller for the Axis powers!
Many of you believed that Sony nixed the Rumble feature because of patent lawsuits, and Sony claims it interferes with the tilt-functionality.
The reality is that the rumble feature interfered with the miniature nazi inside the controller, which sends controller signals to each of the six-axis that participate in the next world-domination scheme (Japan, Germany, and Italy are confirmed participators, but 3 more will surface at TGS!)
The controller will not feature the traditional square, triangle, etc., setup and instead be replaced with "blitzkrieg" and "sieg heil" buttons.
i still think that sony will bring out a controller with both the rumble feature and the six axis systems,
since the company that sued them said its possible and have made a prototype i think,
anyways i think theyll still give sony the right to use the controller- sice it would entail big cash
...`nuff said.
@ #10 , funny.
Sixaxis. Sony is clever.
ps3 pad rocks
They should call it SIXASSES - cause thats how big your azz will get once you start to play ps3.
I think we should call it the wiimote. hmmm for some reason that sound familiar. i dunno but I think I came up with a good name. BUY A PS3 OR I WILL BUY YOU ONE. in 2000000 years.
