The '''DualShock 3''' is the standard controller for the [[PlayStation 3 emulators|PlayStation 3]]. It was originally intended to launch with the console, but [[wikipedia:Immersion v. Sony|a lawsuit by Immersion in 2002]] meant they were unable to include the controller's namesake feature, force feedback, until the case was over. As a stopgap measure, Sony announced the '''Sixaxis''' instead, and made the excuse at E3 2006 that force feedback would've interfered with the gyro sensors. With the eventual release of the DualShock 3 in 2008, owing due to Sony's loss in court and eventual business deal for the patent, we now know that this was a boldfaced blatant lie.
Aside from the gyro gimmickGyro support aside, the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 don't just offer the same old DualShock 2 functionality. It has:
*A very good D-pad
*10-bit precision analog sticks, and pressure sensitive buttons
*Wireless connectivity using Bluetooth
