That Sony, crazy dark bastards
Saw this new Sony commercial for the SIXAXIS wireless remote and thought to myself, "huh".
It's part of Sony's ad campaign to convince people the system can do cool things, you know, like the other next gen consoles. This one is trying to convince potential customers that their controller will be utilized like the Wii remote for better immersion, and scary black crows. Frankly I doubt we will see too many games really using this feature of the controller. Call me a pessimist, but I just don't see it being likely.
Previously there was the commercial with the Rubiks Cube, where Sony tried to trump up the processing power of the machine. Now I won't lie and say the little bastard isn't powerful. The catch is, that extra processing is going to be sapped away buffering discs to play at a reasonable speed seeing as how Blu-Ray is substantially slower than DVD. Whammy Sony. Stop pushing untested proprietary media, kthxbye.
