Title: Sony patents universe controller that will work with Nintendo consoles

Basically, it's like a universal remote, but for video game consoles. I think it's a load of bull. There's no way I'm ever going to play a game with a touchscreen, unless I'm playing my DS.

I think it's a brilliant move. Considering how they've been dominated this generation, they may as well at least corner the market and make a profit. I am curious to see how it will respond to the motion controls of Wii, though.

Touch screen controller? Really?
Weren't you gushing over the concept mere weeks ago?

As usual, I'll wait and see if this goes anywhere.

It's brilliant.  I'll only ever need one controller for this generation.

Do you think they'll have increased functionality for their own systems?

No clue.  The article and image doesn't give a lot to go on.

Well If it's going to work on all consoles it better darn well be amazing for a universal controller. Interested to see more and will hold out until actual impressions.

This is actually fantastic if it works well considering I technically have all 3

This is awesome, and it might be a step towards some degree of compatibility among all three major systems.

It works for the 360 too.
But I hate touch control and consider it unreliable. Won't be picking it up.

It's touch screen?

Fuck me for not paying attention. Way to probably ruin an otherwise awesome idea.
