Sony motion controller - Image 1

With Microsoft's Natal tech slated for release next year Sony is definitely not resting on its laurels when it comes to the motion controller arena, and 2010 is quickly shaping up to be the year the two companies go head to head with their respective motion controllers.

Sony Computer Entertainment big boss Kaz Hirai recently told Times Online that their own motion-controlled "wand" will also be out by next year. He even does Microsoft one better by actually setting a tighter release window.

We are slating [the motion controller] for spring of next year. One of the things is that we just don't want to put out the controller. We need a great software that supports the controller at launch. It's something that we've been working on for the longest time.

Hmm. I wonder if it'll incorporate some of those Sony patents we saw recently. Stay tuned for more updates.

I'm honestly really looking forward to this. I mean it has GREAT potential if it is done well and the video'/demo's show they are using it to it's fullest. I got the PSEye, BD-Remote, 4 DS3 Controllers, Keypad, PSMic. Now all I need is this.

Sony hopefully you don't just abandon this like the EyeToy and you bring HEAPS of titles out for it.

I think there should be a game where you ***** on the floor.

they could make it where you somehow use this controller to strain harder and harder.

Maybe it could have a pressure sensitive part on the pad (even if specially added for this game) that you would squeeze BUT you would have to be CAREFULL....

strain to hard and you risk busting the muscle lining just behind the sphincter RESULTING in a dreaded internal pile.

Suprised no-one has made this yet tbh.
