AppleInsider said:A new report claims Apple has approached Sony in an effort to bring handheld game controller support -- and presumably more games -- to the Apple Vision Pro.
VR hand controller support could revitalize the software market for the Apple Vision Pro.
Top 10 VR games on Playstation reported by Sony for 2023 are on the following page:

These all probably work better with controllers, many simulate holding weapons or objects. The PSVR2 controllers are a bit bulky though:

Apple could design their own compact controllers like these with full tracking and touch controls. It would be good if they could have wristbands that could track interaction with any passive objects. Then people could hold plastic replicas of any object.
Since games are already made to support the Sony controllers and millions of people already own them, it would help to have support for them too.
There are controllers here designed for AVP that have a nicer design, Apple could probably buy this company out or just sell their products in store:

If Apple partners with Valve for SteamVR, AVP will be compatible with thousands of games, initially via streaming and then with native ports.
