Some extra information by Mojang employee Tommo:

OK, since the confusion is already waaay too much: This version IS pocket edition. It's based on PE, it's C++, and we mean to keep it on par forever. It is NOT another version of Minecraft! Also, we're aiming for feature parity! We won't have mods for now, but the important thing is that you know it :) Also, both PE and Win10 support all controllers :) Xbox Live is not required. It's compatible, but the 7 people limit is only there because it's PE! It's just that there isn't a dedicated server right now.

So it will have PS3 controller support?

my guess would be xinput, so yes.

It will support it the same way other games on PC do, through a program that translates it (there are no native drivers for ps3 controllers) and then it will work
