PS3 Motion Controller Confirmed for Spring 2010

ps3 sports anyone?

If this statement is true, I will enjoy this new remote.
"Sony describes the Motion Controller much like the Wii Remote – but it is far more accurate: "

Wii's inaccurate motion sensing is the reason i hate Wii. Ever since my first golf swing with the Wii remote i hated it. Wii just isn't real, why simulate movements if it is nothing like the real thing?

ok Wii, your "glory" days are coming to an end!!

Not really. It's too little too late. Sony will have to wait until next-gen to try to hold any sway over the Wii. Anyone who thinks this is a threat to the Wii is retarded.

I've never had a problem with Wii remote accuracy, especially with Wii Motion Plus. Still, this will at least be more usable in games than Microsoft's glorified EyeToy.

Everyone is just too late to the party. Nintendo took a gamble, and whether you like it or not, it paid off, and now Sony and Microsoft are trying to jump on the bandwagon and imitate instead of innovate. The problem is, they already have established systems and controls. The Wii is built around motion-sensing. Sony and Microsoft can't shoe-horn in alternate peripherals and expect them to be embraced by the gaming community or supported by developers.

Kind of makes me want to sell my Wii to my co-worker and get a PS3 in the spring. I didn't think I would, but I hit the two month barrier with the Wii. Played it often with family from last Christmas through February and maybe even March, but since then it's been turned on less than once/month.

So the race of motion controlled games began...
I doubt Sony or MS can beat Ninty in this gen though, since unlike Wiimote they are only peripherals to the consoles. Maybe next gen, eh?

And I just feel I have to say this... does it play Crysis?

Sure...PS3 gets a gimmick controller like the Wii yet all the fanboys don't bash thier PS3...but wait, they however bash the Wii? And don't give me that line "Wii is inferior to said console". If you didn't notice its the gimmicky Wiimote that is all the craze. Sony and MS for sure will try to cash in on the gimmick as well and so begins gimmick war.

Don't get me wrong, the Wiimote as we know it, is innovation at its finest that propelled Nintendo again to the top. It doesn't matter if the Wiimote is not as accurate. It was there first. And that is proof from the Wii sales.

looking forward to its release. One thing to note about this is that most good ps3 games are games that come out of Sony Studios : and they will undoubtably support the new motion controller. Wont be a gimmicky addon for sure.

So you have to pay an extra camera and gaywands to play what you could of for years now on the Wii for 199$ and a rich gama of games that are ALL compatible with a Wiimote? I hate when ripoffs work and not burned for even trying , seriously. If I was interested in this "wand" ( seriously the person that named it was a fag cause I wouldnt try to sell it as a WAND to the consumer... :S ) Id go buy me a Wimmot plus for a Wii which i dont have and im not interested.

Anyhow, thats just my opinion which cant be proved wrong cause it sands on something. And no i dont care for the ratings so the fanatics that have issues can rate me all they want with minus o.O

And no they havent sat with their thumb up their ass. They are trying to catch up with new bright ideas and inovation lol. If you noticed their console is getting somewhere due to so bright moves: Trophies ( achievement ripoffs ), PSN ( Trying so hard to look usefull like XBL ), Controller ( even the menu button in the middle of the controller is ripped off from the 360 one o.O ), Wand ( Wiimote Plus ), Movies, arcade, DLC, Radio etc etc ( XBL ), Monkey interaction from the camera ( Ever since they heard about Natal they have been talking about emotion captured and trying so hard to not stay out of the section MS got shoved into ).

I dont care fr MS the slightest even if im too sutisfied from their damn console but Sony is a joke for lots of years now to the ones that know what is going on. The fanatic lil kiddos have no sence so they are still making it big and live thnx to them.

LoL Sony is making out like a bandit with Blu-ray they own the rights to it... every Blu-ray player is using sonys tech and im sure paying quite well for it

I would disagree, you could have said same with CD, DVD, but they are still common place.
Why would anyone innovate a new way/format... it will get "superceded"

Anyone feel like having a little "Motion Party"?

Funny how companies like Sony laughed about the wii three years ago and look how times have changed!! Cannot understand why Nintendo did not patent their wiimote technology forcing companies like Sony to come up with something different then a ripoff for the Nintendo Wiimote

So Sony shouldn't improve upon the PS3 with new technology and functionality because someone else had it earlier? 1) The Wii is a cheap fad toy. Most everyone I know likes it for 6 months then it sits in the closet until a family reunion or they sell it.

Despite the Sony hate Sony has a long term plan with the PS3. You can see this with their aggressive firmware updates that add new features to the PS3. Like its media streaming capability for example. So I realize you guys lose sleep every time the PS3 grows in capabilities but I for one am very pleased that Sony is looking in the long term unlike most of you.

The thing is, Wii is typically geared towards families with little kids, just to have fun. I don't see many 5-13 year olds and their parents buying a PS3 so they can use a wand.. Nintendo does kids stuff best, easy as that. Obviously there is a bias here against the Wii but go to any elementary school and ask kids what their favorite console is. Wii.

Ooooo, I'd go PS3 if they made a "Sports" game akin to the Wii. I hate the Wii.

Wii Controller HA HA HA. Excuse me Wii fanboy, the PS3 controller will beat the Wii Controller
hands down. The PS3 and the 360 were not originally designed for motion control, but since
motion control went well with the Wii the other two companies decided to get in the game only with better ones. It didn't take 4 years to produce a motion control for the PS3 or 360, it took three years for both
companys to agree that it was a road worth traveling.

On the contrary MS ripped off Sony's eyetoy for Natal. The big picture is that they are improving on technology.

I second PS3 Sports

So, you guys, don't realize the new possibilities that "eye camera" brings? It's not an "innovation" or what?

And who cares who did what first, pardon me? Blizzard was soo late with WoW, yet they made the most successfull MMORPG ever, so what?

Nintendo continues to sell overpriced outdated piece of hardware, well, good for them, but it seems it will come to an end in the next year or two.

Search for EyeToy wand on YouTube. Notice that the date is 2004. Sony came up with the original wand first. They just didn't expand on it.
