Sony Japan has trademarked the new PlayStation 3 controller as “P oo S”. If it doesn’t make sense, imagine the “oo” as representation of the dual analog sticks. This is still a Japan-only thing. It’s the same concept as Wii, where “ii” are two Wiimotes/players. So now we have Wii, PooS, and hopefully Microsoft will jump on the wagon with “X33″.
The newest, frankly incredible trademark to be taken by a gaming company? Sony Japan has trademarked the PS3 controller as "P oo S".
No rumble. Tilt controls that Somerset Maugham might have described as 'craptacular'? We think Sony made a typo of an extra 'o' in their patent application form.
Or the alternate theory: the double 'o' represents the dual analog sticks in the same way that the double 'i' in Wii represents two Wiimotes. Also, infinity, I guess. I like my explanation better.
The 'oo' part is supposed to be the infinity symbol, but im waiting for the logo to come out before making any rushed judgement on it.
Even so, if its positioned between the 'P' and 'S' you're not going to read anything else other than another word for faeces...
