PS3 Motion Control Coming This Fall

Sony Computer Entertainment today announced that it will release its new Motion Controller for the PlayStation 3 in fall 2010 in Japan, Asian regions and countries, North America and Europe/PAL territories. Coinciding with the release they will also bring out an extensive line-up of new games. The new controller, combined together with the PlayStation Eye camera (which will be required to take advantage of the Motion Controller), can detect the natural and intuitive movement of the hand and reflect that precise movement within games.

The name "Motion Controller" isn't set in stone yet - here's hoping they can pick something similarly descriptive, but more imaginative, for the final release.

"We have decided to release the Motion Controller in fall 2010 when we will be able to offer an exciting and varied line-up of software titles that will deliver the new entertainment experience to PS3 users," said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "We will continue to work to have a comprehensive portfolio of attractive and innovative games for the Motion Controller, not only from SCE Worldwide Studios but also from the third party developers and publishers, whom we have been working closely with. We look forward to soon unveiling the exciting software line-up that further expand and define the PS3 platform as the ultimate entertainment system for the home."

It's going to be interesting to see which of the new motion control systems comes out on top.
