PlayStation Move Controllers Cannot Support 4 Players In Full
March 12, 2010 | In: PS3
I know we’re all wetting our pants over PlayStation’s new Wii-ish Move Controllers, but the scoop is that you cannot use these new gadgets with four people in the full configuration.
Here’s Gizmodo for the word on the street regarding this serious gaming issue.
The complete experience of PlayStation Move requires two controllers per person, either two PlayStation Move wands or one wand and one sub (nunchuk-like) controller.
In a four-player game, that arrangement would equate to eight total controllers. But there’s a problem that arose when we were pricing the Move peripherals. The PlayStation 3’s Bluetooth support is limited to only seven connections. That would put Sony one controller short. Sports Champions, for instance, is a PS3 title in which you can wield a motion-controlled sword and shield. In a theoretical four-person configuration, such wouldn’t be possible with fewer than eight connections.
Wow. Sony’s got some ‘xplaining to do!
