This is good news, earlier the PS3 was a Blu Ray Player, a Media center, an awesome gaming console as well a Linux operating hardware, but now it has another feature, its also a Nintendo Wii (almost). There is no doubting the Nintendo Wii and its commendable performance, but the Wii has limitations.
The PS3 on the other hand has loads of features and with an apparent Break-apart controller on its way, it will add yet another unique attribute to its list. As per a report on gameindustry.biz:
Sony Computer Entertainment is working on a new controller for the PlayStation 3, which features the ability to ‘break apart’ into two separate units, each of which contains an accelerometer for ‘Wiimote-like’ motion-sensing functionality, GamesIndustry.biz understands.
It’s not clear when the pad will be officially announced, but it is believed that working units have already been supplied to certain developer partners, according to sources.
The potential for new game types to be developed with the additional motion-sensing functionality should open up the PlayStation 3 to the sorts of gaming audiences that the Nintendo has been so successful at gathering with its Wii console.
