There have been plenty of questionable trademarks made over the years... the most recent example being the "Wii-naming" of the next Nintendo console.

But Sony of Japan may have just taken the cake when it comes to names most BEGGING for immature jokes. For they have trademarked the PS3 controller... "P oo S".

Let's see here... stolen controller mechanic? Check. No rumble? Check. Trying to pass off controller done 7 years ago as new? Check. Bad name? Check.

Seems Sony is WANTING to fail this generation... only time will tell if their plan has succeeded.
