Sony has decided to call the PS3's wireless controller "Sixaxis" as it has sensors which allow it to sense linear motion along six axes, as well as tilt whereas the WiiMote has only 3 axis sensors. The Bluetooth controller charges when connected via the USB cable, after a full charge it is good for 30 hours of gaming. It becomes a wired controller when charging so you can continue playing.

The Sony PS3 controller will be available for 5000 Yen ($ 42)
