With Microsoft rumored to be working on a new motion-sensing controller for their Xbox 360 home video game console, it looks like Sony isn't going to let themselves be left in the dust.
In the most recent Five (!) Minute Warning podcast, N'Gai Croal and Geoff Keighley talked to EGM's executive editor, Shane Bettenhausen, who talked about Sony's own rumored controller.
Apparently, this new waggle wand from Sony will be a "transforming controller" that will pack "multiple configurations". Call of Duty 5 and Resistance 2 were the games mentioned in connection with the controller.
Resistance 2 is currently slated for release later this year, so if this transforming Sony controller is indeed real, we should be hearing more about it soon enough. Keep checking back here for more updates. You can check out the podcast by clicking on the source link below.

Still, I wouln't buy it unless it's really great. Like if it can be used in resistance 2 as a guncon or somthing. But still, I don't think I would buy it anyway. If I wanted to play casual, I'd buy a wii. I'm into hardcore gaming with normal controllers. I didn't bought the eye too, not guitars (but I'd like to have a guitar, lol, still, 100$ for a guitar game.. just not me).

but anyways back to the point.. my point is that you nintendo fanboys need to plz stfu.. everytime someone mentions the sixaxis to you, you always say "they copied" without even looking into it... here are some important points to make..
1)the sixaxis uses a TILT sensor, not MOTION sensor. the tech is similar, but not the same.
2)the sixaxis announcement was made the same day (if i remember correctly) that nintendo said they'd be using motion sensing. sony isn't stupid.. they know when they have the tech and when they don't, and they wouldn't have made that announcement unless they had the tech.. so sony had that planned for awhile...
3)@kingofdaberbz nintendo is actually failing at this console war... yea they have sold more units, but the games are crap.. 90% of them are party games, 5% are ports, and the other 5% are totally original games... i have a wii myself and i don't play it much.. its collecting dust right now because i just don't find it as fun as other consoles...
4)i doubt sony is working on this... this rumor sounds way too stupid... also why would sony try to make something that might fail when they're starting to make a huge profit now that ps3 is picking up..? we don't want a new controller and sony knows that. we want games and more features for our ps3s, and sony is taking the time to deliver that.
5)if anyone is gonna copy the other, its gonna be microsoft.. they're known for copying ***** and then calling it their own (windows ftw was actually a heavily modified version of the apple OS. learned about it in programming class) i wouldn't be suprised really if microsoft released a motion sensing/tilt sensing controller for the 360.
and plz for the nintendo fanboys, i have like 4 friends that are exactly like you guys.. they don't stfu about sony 'copying' nintendo.. and i have to go into detail and show them specs and the difference between tilt and motion sensing just to shut them up then they say that games on wii are for everyone but its funny because the hardcore gamer like me gets bored of those games really easily and quickly.. wii is NOT for hardcore gamers... so stop saying that i'm not a gamer because i don't like the wii as much as ps3 or something... i dont like mario because he's way too overused now.. and i grew up playing sonic on the genesis, so i'm into way more fast paced games with twitchy controls..

The point the Nintendo fanboys are making is that Sony and Microsoft fans increasingly MADE FUN OF the Wii Remote for several years here, and now that their own companies are doing the same thing, its "fine" ... or, even worse, "great".
I respect all Sony and Microsoft gamers who say they don't want anything to do with these new controllers, because at least they're sticking to their guns and not being stupid, moronic, butt-licking fanboys.
