And here it comes: After Xbox 360's Project Natal, Sony is also adding their own motion controller to the PS3, aptly named: The PlayStation Motion Controller. It's the best motion control demo that we have ever seen.
The sampling of the motion is extremely accurate and smooth, very tight, completely 1:1. moving at 60 frames per second.
Like the Wiimote, the new controller is a stick. However, instead of using gyroscopes, the PlayStation Motion Control is similar to Hollywood-style motion capture: It uses a camera to track a purple ball on the stick. There can be two sticks with two balls, and each stick also have a trigger, for first person shooters.
The PlayStation Motion Controller will be launched in 2010.
