hmm 1 dpad, 2 anlogue, 4pad buttons and 4 shoulder buttons, stop start= covers all preasant button counts- if stop/start were incorporated into the lcd touchscreen to save space and keep to ps3 shape- the plan design don’t look encouraging….

is it just me, or is this somewhat outdated, as newer consoles are looking at new types of input (wii’s accelerometer based controller, or video camera input, etc)… controllers may be entirely unnecessary soon enough, this seems a little… late

though it’d have been really nice to have this type of universal controller 10 yrs ago

Does Sony make a game console?

Considering this is a patent application, it is also simply possible that Sony wants to make it tougher for competition to pull their customers toward them by patenting such a technology. However, as with all patents (some of which are also prior arts), it only gives an indication of what the company is up to and the strategies they might be looking at for the future.

I think that Nintendo already have an universal controller since it can be used by other devices.

Already there is support for Windows and to some extent Windows Mobile (I have been working with the latter).

So the question isn’t about having an universal controller but if the protocol used for controllers is generic enough to be understood by other consoles.
