Sony’s motion controller has neither a name nor a finalised form. Which means, yeah, it’s still a work in progress. And that means it won’t be out until, oh, spring 2010.
Microsoft may finally be ready to make good on extended threats of a motion sensing controller for the Xbox 360 at this year’s E3, with a rumoured camera accessory reportedly in the works.
According to several sources, The Cut Scene is reporting that Sony are set to unveil a new motion-sensing controller, perhaps as soon as E3 next month.
Lenovo rolled out their new line of computers today in preparation for the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. Among the list is an “all-in-one” desktop that includes a motion-sensing remote for gaming.
Xbox 360 Fanboy, citing “a tip from a source close to Microsoft’s marketing department”, says the price cut to $US 199 for the Arcade system is meant to position that bundle against the Wii. So it’ll get a huge family-friendly marketing push and title support. And in the fall, it gets a motion controller with some motion-controlled mini-games developed by Rare.
Again, according to this rumour (by the time I’m repeating it to you, it’s fourth-hand) the controller will be sold separately and will be compatible with all versions of the 360 console. Reading the story, it sounds like you would get the controller plus an even larger list of mini-games if you buy it separately.
The new products are set to drop Holiday 2008, says Xbox 360 Fanboy. We shall see.
