The actual patent while it does have a banana as a picture does not use the word banana but talks of using a "passive non-luminous object" as a controller. I suspect if this ever comes to reality it will be used for some of their VR games. I know the Oculus Quest I had (before I sold it) was rolling out the feature of knowing where your hands were even without a controller.

If they do this it might prove useful in some games that only need simplistic controls and saves having to hold a large controller.

It’s not uncommon for companies to patent everything they possibly can even with no greater design in mind to introduce a commercial product embodying the invention. If you’re cursorily familiar with the US patent regime, all it permits is the ability to litigate. There are many patents issued that are questionably novel and largely covered by the prior art but the USPTO leaves it to companies to assess and enforce their perceived rights.

All that said, it’s a nifty idea, despite the likelihood of broader impracticality.

What a silly concept, but we'll see what this becomes. Maybe it'll turn in a nothing burger.

Umm, yeah. Thanks but no thanks. That boomerang controller looked absolutely horrendous. I’m thankful that they never used that.

If it was an Xbox controller you would be calling it the greatest thing ever.

Yeah, but if it was an Xbox controller you'd fucking hate it.

Works both ways.

Oh SHIT! Playstation is not only delicious, but nutritious too! This is why Sony stays ahead of Xbox.

SONY bought the rights to Dankey Kang.

No, but seriously.. the banana is likely just a similar shape to throw scavengers off. Either way, I fully expect to see Chinese banana controllers in the near future. #getitdone

but wait... a dual sense banana released with their newly unveiled next gen PS VR... ok ok.. I see where they are going with this, which also just so happens to be the true path forward for VR. SONY adult entertainment.

Has anyone noticed the increase of "local mom looking for sex" on Gamespot? Maybe Sony thought of them, and is making them a "controller".

You're accusing him of what you would've done had they released it. You would've argued it's the best controller ever released by Sony and been trolling the boards for years fighting to defend it.

I think it looks kind of cool. Wish they did make them just to see if it works with the top buttons on the the rounded surface.

the only games that load faster on the series x are ps4 and xbox one versions of games. last gen compression went to xbox but every ps5 and series x versions ps5 wins every time once its compressed in the krakken format. so next gen games will always load faster on the ps5. there i/o was made around the krakken format. still going with that 1.5 rdna. its rdna 2 with a few missing features. which is covered by the geometry engine. what ever its called. funny how you don't mention a lot of those games run better on the ps5 in performance mode. they both have its weaknesses and strength.

truth is the series x and ps5 are both great next gen systems. I think anyone with a ps5 or series x are happy.

@gifford38: He is a crazy Xbox fanboy, he is always going to claim the Series X wins at everything whether it does or not. He is not to be taken seriously at all. I agree they are both great next gen systems and I don't even game on console.

Its the evolution of the original playstation 3 controller, and if you think about it the ultimate quality controller. Thank god for the wisdom of Sony.
