When it comes to new hardware and peripherals, the internet is always prone to speculate and start rumor fires over even the smallest indication that new tech is on the way. Over on the site Siliconera, rumors emerged regarding a wand-like peripheral that could be used in conjunction with the PS2. These images were apparently taken from a recent patent filed by Sony, though the wand isn't the only device pictured. Also included is an image where a user's hands have two small ring devices attached to the fingers, which can be used to track movement.
We contacted a Sony representative for comment and we were simply told that there are no peripheral announcements being made at this time. There's no way for us to verify if these images are actually from a real patent, or if they're even recent at all. We suspect that these are either old diagrams or complete fakes, but we'll keep you posted if official information is revealed.
