Sony pulling plug on SIXAXIS

From joystiq.com:

This shouldn't come as much of a ... shock, but Sony is discontinuing the Sixaxis in light of the DualShock 3's arrival, according to MTV. A Sony rep says that you can likely expect them to all be gone by summertime.

MS was also in a suit with Immersion, but they settled out of court iirc, and very quickly.

I personally don't care about the lightness of the SIXAXIS, but that seemed to be one of the most common complaints.

Normally for console controllers i like them to be bigger/heavier. I loved the Duke xbox controllers over the S type, so i guess its just a preference
