Sony Computer Entertainment today announced that it will release its new Motion Controller (tentative name) for the PlayStation 3 this fall in all territories, along with an extensive lineup of exciting software titles.
The new controller, combined with the PlayStation Eye camera, can detect movements of the hand and reflect the movement within the game.
“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.”
Sony will vigorously promote the Motion Controller as the de facto controller of the PS3 platform, along with the DUALSHOCK series controller, and will deploy various measures to enhance the console’s software library for motion control.
