Sony to unveil motion-sensing controller for the Playstation 3?
Tired of your bush league Wii-owning friends making fun of the lame Sixaxis motion-sensing technology in your PS3 controller? Hang in there as you may not have to endure their ridicule for much longer. The Cut Scene is reporting that Sony is planning to unveil a new and improved motion-sensing controller that will supposedly wipe the floor with the Wii remote. According to several sources, the new controller, as described in Sony patent applications, will utilize LEDs and a small camera to track the user’s movements. The remote will be able to read different color lights and detect the shape and angle of each light — making it much more accurate than the Wii remote. The new PS3 remote will also be able to track movement along the Z-axis (forward and backward) and measure velocity. A new remote is useless without supporting game titles of course, and Sony is reportedly reaching out to developers to enable motion control in future games. If this rumor pans out, the new PS3 remote system will make its debut as early as E3 2009 which runs from June 2-4.

yyeesss!!!!
Possible Epicness?…
No, I don’t have any friends with a Wii. I think this is a silly idea too, and too late. Sony already has a boatload of great things coming this fiscal year, and I’d rather they not lose focus. But hey, IF it works, it works.
nice but xbox is coming out with body motion yess 10 times better than these ………if is true
They better think long and hard on this and get it right the first time…I love my PS3 but I have seen sony do some of the dumbest crap when it comes to things like this…
@Rasta you could be right..this could be epic in one way or the other…
glad to see the plus size models still get some work.
Pure comedy Dtest!
And this when Nintendo decided to push out different color Wii’s and lower the price by $50 thus making them #1 again.
I feel like a kid playing the wii…
I feel like a big kid playing my ps3. so…… yeah i’m pretty psyched about superior hardware finally being bundled together. …hopefully.
Haha!
I was thinking that too! That and those damned daisy dukes.
