Sony patents hybrid DualShock/Move controller

Very Clever Idea.

Ugliest thing I've ever seen in a console ! Yeah, I will love the idea of getting really pissed of with whatever is happening in the game and suddenly have the genius idea of splitting the ugly controller in two and throw one part in the ground and the other at the wall.At least I will enjoy this  controller for  some reason. Aside that I didn't really like controller.Hope they improve it. 

Ugh, how about innovating something instead of copying other technology (and still getting it wrong).  Wait - Sony has a history of innovations in gaming?

Sorry, my bad.

Sony is so stubborn when they have a bomb they think should sell.  They kept the Betamax and Minidisc out for years and still no one bought them.

Just when you thought controllers couldn't get any uglier... Sony proves you wrong... again.

that's the ugliest thing ever

The more I imagine using it - the more I see the locked position needing to be rock solid firm. That's the weakest link, apart from the "ghastly" balls.

finally a controller that comes apart ON PURPOSE!

I wouldn't really mind the controller, I would rather wait on more feedback on this. Just wondering, if this were to come through would you boycott? Cheers :)

what kind of stupid idea is this. what if we just want to play classic FPS, how are we going to play with balls sticking out of the controller, oh and the best part u can split it in half????? seriously 

That is ghastly!

this is stupid, please don't let the kinect/move retardness take control over the classic controllers :(

Fucking finally! I've been saying controllers should do this before that patent for the glowy ball that eventually became the Move wand surfaced. The only thing it's missing is ambidexterity, a hybridization of the four face buttons and the d-pad, and a tablet to plug in between the halves.

Thank fuck we can finally aim directly at dudes on the screen like a light gun, but also have direct control of the camera with the right thumbstick. Dual wielding will make sense after all these years when we can shoot at two different dudes at the same time.

Microsoft would be retarded not to include a split controller setup that can be tracked by the included Kinect2 for Durango, regardless of Sony finally getting the message.

Seems like a good idea and pretty nifty to me, for the purpose of the move controls. Don't know why everyone hates it, other than how it might look a little goofy. The only concern I would have would be what happens to the shoulder buttons when the 'move balls' are in that position

Looks like some mad sex toy

?

Nothing says feminism like ensuring all controllers come with an added pair of tits!

If the motion recognition is cool, then why not? I mean, even if just a few games receive support for it during the first years, it's a cool new twist is gaming to compete against Wii U. How cool would it be to play a shooter and switch to a speedy, knife-armed user with a single geisture, or be in precision mode to play RPGs on consoles and stuff like that? Sony, make this, but make it win. My money's waiting xD

Bad idea, bad idea. Abort mission.

I think this is a good idea, one of the things that I don't like about the current Move setup is that you have to sacrifice the right analog stick for it.  I think this design would work as a starting point but I think it needs a sleeker more ergonomic design

motion controls are a fad.  we need a vr headset first.

But do they have the balls to make it?

with a good final design this could work, but the orbs are too big

thats a stupid controller..

ill stick to the normal control thanks.

im so sick of all this touch screen and motion cr*p!

Sony should just make software. They would make a ton of money putting God of War, MLB the Show, Gran Turismo, and Uncharted on other consoles and PC.

When you're sitting in front of the TV playing a non-motion controlled game, if you rest your hands in your lap while holding this thing it will look like your jewels are radioactive.

I love how people actual consider how fashionable a controller is. You are sitting in your living room playing a game by yourself! Function comes first. 

No, just no. 

please no

I hope this is a joke

Well, I bought two PS Moves and what a piece of **** that thing is.... I am glad I spent all that money on a device that doesn't work all well with games (tacked on feature), and the Move library is hideously small.... **** you Sony, I drank the koolaide when you can kept blasting about how you were going to FULLY integrate the Move into the PS ecosystem. Bull****....  

My goodness that controller is hideous 

PS4moveU720 is what their next console will be...

Just thought of this, if the ps4 bombs they can put a screen in the middle and connect the controller on both sides.

Ugly Whatever that thing is.. Why dont you try something like a head band that reads your brain and do as your brain commands. Now that is something you patent!

I wonder if you happen to lose one of the halfs...

Yeah the idea is good, as long as they come up with a good design and manage to get rid of the move balls (or make them removable as ppl say). The schematic's design looks really ugly.
