Sony Nunchuk... Oops, I mean FPS Controller.

Sony is at it again! Take a look at that article. You don't have to read it... Just take a peek at the three pictures. Do you notice anything... Familiar? About this controller set that is being heralded as "innovative"? That's right. It's a mouse. A mouse for the PS3. Innovative means something new that changes the way you do something. This isn't innovative, this is a lousy attempt to get PC players to feel the PS3 is best to play first person shooters on now. (Face it, nothing beats keyboard/mouse for FPS.)
Okay, so the mouse isn't innovative, clearly. But what's that other controller? The black nunchuk. Oops, sorry, it's not a nunchuk, is it. It's an overclocked Wii Nunchuk. Just... Look at it. Joystick, a bazillion buttons. Bet it's not motion sensitive, though. So is the nunchuk half the part that's innovative? I mean, really, if the mouse isn't innovative, but you call this set innovative, then it must be the nunchuk. Which, I might add, Nintendo designed something similar FIRST, and everyone's laughing at the controller set that will become old and boring in 6 months.
So, okay. Judging by Sony fanboy rants, the nunchuk isn't innovative, either, since they're laughing at Nintendo's nunchuk (THAT CAME FIRST). So what does that leave? Hmm...
That's right, folks. The mouse pad. The mouse pad is innovative. See that little arm rest in the first picture? The mouse pad clearly sports a convenient cradle for the nunchuk. I've never seen anything like it before in my life! It could very well change the face of console gaming as we know it. Because... Uhm... You could... Like... Put stuff on there... Within easy reach of your other hand?
Ah, who is anybody kidding? This is a rehash of existing controller sets that Sony copied. It's not innovative in the least bit. Is it useful? Sure! I mean, if I bought a PS3 (like when hell has snow), I'd get this. It WOULD make FPS games easier to play... Maybe. It would take a lot of time getting used to. But it could be useful! But innovative? Come on, Sony... Innovative in your own little world, maybe. But you just copied everyone else... Again.
