    Sony need to come up with some ideas of their own instead of constantly copying Nintendo.

    We have seen this before. But never announced. From what I hear, this thing puts the wii-mote to shame. I does not use an acceleramator like the wii, but a rather measures your movements in a 3d space up to 1 millimeter. Quite impressive. Looking forward to it.

    I don’t mind if they try to copy the wiimote, the PS3 will lead if they are able to make a killer app with this new motion-sensing controller.

    I hope they make this compatible with things like COD because with better motion capability, next gen graphics and great games the ps3 will destroy the wii

    I can see it being a pricey bit of kit though, placing bets on £39.99 start price anyone?

    Whats the point to this? Really? I find the wii to be useless and pointless. Sure it’s a cool gimic for about an hour, then it gets repetitive and lame. Hey Sony, how about concentrate on lowering your PS3 prices so more people can afford to own one and stop trying to copy nintendo to get more casual gamers. Casual gamers will ruin the gaming industry.

    As a 58 year old casual gamer I remember having to learn how to use the PS3 controller. For games like Burnout it’s pretty easy but for shooter games it’s still difficult for me. This new motion controller will make it easier for me to play games.

    I suspect it will allow many more action games like bowling, tennis, baseball and others to more accurately reflect real world skills.

    For the comment on cost. This controller should be MUCH cheaper to build. That it requires the PS3 eye does increase the cost.
    I suspect that kits that include the eye, a motion controller and 1 killer software title similar to the Wii sports will be selling for around $69.00. I would guess seperately controller for $29.00, Eye for $39.00

    I’m looking forward to it’s release.

    Funk Sony! Nintendo is on top on sales anyway.Stop hating fanboys!

    Jeff, thats because FPS’s don’t naturely work on console controlls, keyboard and mouse native support would be ideal.
