When all the info about a Playstation controller that you could split apart was circling a while ago, I had to wonder what the point of such a device could be. (There was the patent for the break apart one that featured one half that looked like the current motion controller - fair enough - I can see the point in that.)  Then, after seeing the footage of RE5 being played with a PS3 motion controller in one hand and a DualShock in the other, it all made sense (at least to me). Breaking apart the controller would allow one half to be used just like the Wii's nunchuck attachment. Perhaps.  Maybe.  Someday. Or not.

what people have to understand is that the ball at the end of the controller is just like those balls that are on motion suits. Its the same technology that game and movie developers use to track full motion body in CG. The ball is there for a reason.
