Sony Universal Game Controller patent filed

Sony has filed a patent for what they dub the Universal Game Controller, and here is the description of what could very well change the landscape of console gaming in the near future.

A universal game console controller that has an LCD presenting, depending on what type of game console a user has input, a controller key layout for a first type of game console or a controller key layout for a second type of game console.

While keyboards for computers have achieved a similar function before, this one is different since it is done entirely on an LCD display, letting you change the buttons completely depending on the game that you’re indulging in at the moment. Do you think that this controller will ever see action on Sony’s rival Xbox 360 and Wii systems?
