savramesh 37 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 Gaming fans can thank Sony Source We've heard of and used Universal Remotes that work with number television and DVD players. Wouldn't it be great if we had single controller for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii? If you are wishing to use this someday, your wait is going to be over soon, we guess. We say this because Sony has filed a patent for Universal Game Console Controller, reports Gamespot. As per the patent filing at U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, the Universal Game Console controller has a touchscreen LCD displaying controls of the supported gaming consoles. Sony is slowly trying to enter the gaming console accessories segment with this fascinating product. A Universal Game Console Controller could be a killer product if it sees the daylight. The patent filing notes that the touch-screen LCD display shows button configuration layouts of the supported game consoles. Upto three different layouts can be saved on the controller. Sony, in the patent filing, says: "This document describes an adaptable or universal game controller which can be used to emulate the controllers of popular game consoles, such as, without limitation, the PlayStation.TM. made by Sony, a controller made by Nintendo, X-box.TM. game controllers made by Microsoft, Amiga CD-32.TM. controllers, Atari Jaguar.TM. controllers, Gravis Gamepad.TM. controllers, Sega controllers, and Turbographics controllers..." Universal Game Console Controller can also be equipped with additional storage, dual-shock feedback and/or speakers. A special receiver would be used to pass the controller data. This patent was filed back two years back and if Sony is working on the same at present, we may get to see it at the E3 Expo in June this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
