Okay I keep seeing these things in the GS headlines over hands on with the sixaxis, and polls about "what do yo uthink of the sixaxis". So I'm going to give my opinion, and you my friends, please share yours as well.
I can't take this stupid thing seriously, not at all. It was clearly a last minute rip-off of Wii-mote functionality and now they want all of us to take it seriously, as if to say they are right there with the Wii in this generation. I could be wrong but it's even in EGM, there's an article on how stuff will play on the Wii-Mote and the Sixaxis. Am I theo nly one who doesn't give a damn about this controller? Honestly. Not to mention its the same craptastic design which is just clunky and unusuable for an fps, those sticks are downright wretched.
Now I've named myself a Wii60 fanboy, but I've also said I intend to buy a PS3 eventually. I guess I'm just frustrated over Sony's whole approach to this generation, it just seems so lazy. And as for their online strategy, it looks good on paper, but it's free, so I will believe it when i see it. And unless you package a mic right in there with something, half the people playing won't have am ic, and the other half wont have a keyboard, so the whole service is going to be flooded with those types. But that is off topic, Sixaxis sucks. That picture in my profile is just me making a dumb face for humor sake, but if you want to ask "Matt what do you think of Sixaxis?" just look at the pic, that is the face I will make.

there are some cool uses planed for the sixaxis. the best I have heard is snapping necks in MGS4 
. Im not willing to sacrafice top of the line graphics for motion sensing, so I will stick with PS3 and 360.

I wouldn't call the controller a rip off, considering that Sony has apparently had a patent on the design for years. However, it is apparent that Sony disregarded this design until the unveiling of the wiimote. I would agree that it is clearly something Sony had not always planned as a feature for the controller. Its inclusion seemed to have come about pretty hastily. As a matter of fact, some developers didn't even know about the new design until just weeks before E3, others didn't know about it at all! Hell, they didn't even give the thing an official name until just recently. Palindromes are pretty badass and hardcore, though; no matter how nonsensical some may be. So, I guess it was worth the wait. ;p
I wasn't at all excited about the motion control until I saw what the new Tony Hawk was going to be doing with it. There is a video demonstration somewhere at IGN. You should really check it out.
Every other idea has either been either boring or pointless. Use it in racing games? Yeah, okay *yawns* Flight game? Obviously, *yawn* Use it to shake off enemies in Resistance? That's just stupid. So yeah, I pretty much agree with you. Although, I do see at least some potential in the controller.
