PlayStation 3 Controller is designed differently from its predecessors. Thus, it will not work on PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles because it has a different layout and different integrated circuit. However, the revolution of a new controller has brought new space for advanced technologies and features to give every gamer an experience of a lifetime while playing their favorite video freegames.
PlayStation 3 Controller offers a lighter and soft touch presses on every button making a soft impression on your fingers. Although, it has the same forms as with PlayStation 2, gamers can always feel the difference between them; one of the differences are the R2 and L2 buttons which are larger than PS 2 controllers.
The biggest difference between Play Station 3 and Play Station 2 is the number of players allowed to play in a game. In PS 2, only two players can connect to any freegames while PS3 offers four players to be connected at the same time in the same freegames. But that could not be possible without the PlayStation 3 Controller which is specifically designed to perform such function.
Another thing about PS3 controller is that it has motion sensors which enable the player to be able to control the same with simple movements on the controller. If ever you opt to use PS 3 wireless controller, it has a USB connection which you can use to charge it with any appliances with USB capabilities.
In a nutshell, PlayStation 3 controller is more advanced than others.
