abstract:Sixaxis (trademarked SIXAXIS) is a wireless gamepad produced by Sony for their PlayStation 3 video game console. It was introduced alongside the PlayStation 3 in 2006 and remained the console's official controller until 2008.
The Wii U comes with a charging cradle too, but also enables players to replace the battery as its life dwindles (unlike the batteries on my now dead original PS3 Sixaxis controller) which is an excellent development.
