The Nintendo Wii will soon face competition from their arch rival, the Sony Playstation 3. Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that the year 2010 will see the debut of their “ Motion Controller” (as not featured in this post’s content – being that no actual images of said controller appear to be in circulation). Of course while it didn’t mention Wii as a source of inspiration, its clear that this controller will seek to cash in the motion sensitive gaming phenomena, which the Wii started.
The Sony “ Motion Controller” prototype was first unveiled at the recent gaming E3 Expo. The controller makes use of PlayStation Eye camera to track motion and according to Sony is therefore highly accurate. Some are calling the controller game changing since it will be able to recognize the player’s face, voice and body motion.
The Sony “ Motion Controller” will feature two motion sensors, three axes gyroscope and three axes accelerometer, in addition to what Sony is calling rumble” vibration which will really give the feel of gaming. This also means that simultaneously Sony will also work hard at releasing new games that will fully make use of the motion sensitive technology.
As someone who grew up playing the Atari (yes I am old), all these new developments in the gaming world make me really excited. I am sure there are many like me who are not hard core gamers but end up with buying all the consoles thanks to all these new advancements. Also competition means price wars, which are always fun for us consumers!
