yeah well, that was his entire point, so saying that is kind of moot...
However, I\'d like LIC to respond on the succes of the dual shock for the ps1, since that obviously was a succes. It seems that under certain criteria it can be a succes. Question is, what are they?...
Well either you had Dual Shock or not, you could still play almost every game that supported it. The analog did the same thing the digital d-buttons did but added more accuracy edit: oh and rumble support. It started to replace the original controllers and it was packed with the newer PS1 models
If its a similar case with the new controller (being able to play the same game with both methods) it will be easy to make it succeed. If motion sensing becomes mandatory for supporting games then things will be different. (see the PS1 RC Copters)
Still not as difficult to implement as broadband support. Broadband support demanded a lot from the PS2 user (hdd? adapter? disk? configuration? extra money?), and I guess it also needed an infrastructure. It was a much complicated feature for Sony to implement
In this case, you could just need the controller, which may also become available with every console sold
