"SPOnG is reporting some interesting information this morning about Sony's plans for their PlayStation 3 controller dubbed the "DualShock 3. The following is a list of features that the DualShock 3 will have according to SPOnG's insider sources:

Will be Wireless.

Either 1 or 2 "triggers" in place of the standard shoulder buttons. If single trigger it will be on the right-hand side of the controller.

Digital Pad and Action buttons will be pressure sensitive.

So there you have it -- once again Nintendo is having their ideas copied by Sony, which is completely expected due to the amazing success and functionality of the Wavebird controller."

Can't they think of anything themselves?

Nintendo controllers ALWAYS seem to be the most comfortble, but i thought that the MegaDrive was comfortable, but then i played on a SNES and they seemed to be very more comfoprtable, except the square edges!

There was a third party wireless saturn controller.

Wireless isn't new, it is just that nintendo have managed to make a decent, radio based controller as opposed to a poorer infra red version. It wasn't Nintendo's idea.
