Sony has patented a "Hybrid Separable Motion Controller" which combines its trademark DualShock and Move controllers together.
The hybrid controller consists of two halves that can be attached to each other to resemble a PS3 DualShock gamepad with two Move orbs sticking out beside its shoulder buttons. When separated, each half can be held in one hand to act as an ugly Move controller.
According to the patent documents, each half houses its own magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, vibration motor and speakers.
The patent was filed in May 2011, but it was published this week.
