Firstly, we dont know if SIXAXIS is the name for the new controller, and second, its a horrible name.

That name would stink. Even Dual Shake would be better than that. :-/

It's a palindromic word and it has two 'X's, no 'G's, and no 'B's.

Clearly it wins.

BOO! Bipper GOES has both, and therefore sets the standard of winning.

I never once called the PS/PS2 controller the "Dual Shock", even though that name was laced with wonderful innuendo. It was "the PlayStation controller", and that's what the new one will be called too.

Exactly, i'm not gonna tell a mate "Grab the SIXAXIS controller and have a game of Madden"

Though I will say "Pass me my Wiimote" because it's just fun to say.

it's a controller...it is part of the ps3 like the av cable or the power cord...it doesn't need a flashy name...you'd have to give everything a flashy name...instead of power cord, let's call it the gatekeeper of electropia

No, see Bipper, the letters 'B' and 'G' are the worst letters in the language.

"Dual Schtick" would have been far better.

The only controller I've ever called by a name other than '[system name] controller' is the Wavebird. Since it's the standard controller for the console, it seems silly to spend time coming up with a name for it, but whatever. :p

I usually just point and say "Can you hand me that, please?"

Dual Shock was a pretty stupid name as well. SIXAXIS is okay, but only because it is a palindrome.

I really don't care about what the controller is called. I'm never going to say "Hey, could you pass me that SIXAXIS?", assuming I ever get a PS3. The only controller I will call by a name besides (system) controller is the Wiimote.

Also, I no longer consider 1Up to be reliable, anyway.
