Sony Has No Interest In Copying Wii Remote For PS2

Boston (dbTechno) - In a recent interview, the SCEA Vice President of Product Marketing, Scott Steinberg, stated that the company has no plans to copy the Nintendo Wii Remote for the PS2.

He was interviewed and asked about the rumors that Sony may be coming out with a controller just like the Wii Remote, only for the Sony PS2 console.

He stated “I think a Wii Remote style would feel a bit less innovative on the PS2, so I don’t think we have any plans to go there.”

“I think it’s interesting to think of what different controller configurations could do for the PS3 and possibly the PS2, but as a Wii Remote knock off, I don’t think we’re in the business of creating knock offs.”

So it appears, at least according to Steinberg, that the rumors that Sony is working on a Wii Remote clone for the PS2 are just that, rumors.
