This year’s E3 gaming expo in Los Angeles has two of the biggest game companies go literally head-to-head in… waggle.
Nintendo has had Wii Remote motion control since the console went on sale back in fall 2006. Sony, however, is adding a motion controller called to the Move to the PS3 later this year. While Sony has already shown off its motion controller, this will be the first opportunity for some players to check it out before it launches.
And they can check it out right across from the Nintendo booth at E3.
Certainly, the Move might not be a Wii Remote, but they do look similar. Heck, they both have wrist straps, too. (Well, of course they have wrist straps! What did you expect?)
The close proximity of Nintendo and Sony will allow folks to compare for themselves.
Microsoft, meanwhile, be located in another hall and surrounded by third party publishers. Flailing, it seems, has no comparison. Yet. Dun-dun-dun.
Thanks, Jeff for the tip!

Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 10:00 AMHow unfair, Xbox is surrounded by all the big companies like Konami, Ubisoft, SquareEnix, Sega, EA…. On the other hand, Nintendo and Sony only have their nemisis
