Oh Sony, you so funny...here's a cookie for you.

Not if they call it GEM it fucking wont.

Seeing as it's the only motion controller on the market that doubles as a dildo, I think they may actually have a point.

Is that a before-and-after picture?

the lady in the header pic has nice breasts; if the sony motion control is anything like her it will succeed. because who can argue thats it hasnt been done before and is better to look at in hd.plus its grabable.

From what I hear it's truly outrageous. Truly truly outrageous.

It's all about the games. If there's some great games coming alongside the motion controller, then it might succeed. Otherwise, nobody really cares how it performs as a device, or the technology behind it.

Too Funny! Sony doesn't get it at all. Sega was way better with the Master System and yet the inferior NES blew it away.
Sony will not beat the Wii in sales, ever! I have a PS3, play it all the time, my Wii gathers dust next to it.
Why you ask? Because Nintendo has become the mindset that anyone can play it.
The PS3 vdoes it all better in every way but granoddma and grandpa will pick up a wiimote and waggle it and have some fun with the grandkids. BOOM! that's it! End of story.
No matter how good the PS3mote is it's not going to outsell the big N.
Hardcore gamers need the control offered by dual sticks and a button layout they've used for a decade. PS3 and 360 controls are very similar.
I'm sure we'll have these Motion control PS3motes in our house as my wife loves rail shooters. But for real games....... Nah!

Yeah Sony because your track-record is so good with motion controls thus far. The SiXaXiS was so revolutionary! If they failed with the one that comes standard with every single system, than how do they think that people are going to just flock to this new thing? Where you need a PSEye to go with it and lets face it, there not flying off the shelves either.

Did anyone watch the stage demo for this thing? Even early in development, it was far more accurate than the Wii Remote. I'm looking forward to it.

Complement Sandwich:

Nice: A great part about the Sony Wiimote is that it will be able to work get 3rd party wii titles unlike Project Natal, which probably will have to have all exclusive games.

Mean: Sony is full of shit and just copying Nintendo.

Nice: It looks like their motion controller is more sensitive than Nintendo's, which is a good thing! That means the player will hopefully be more precise.

"A great part about the Sony Wiimote is that it will be able to work get 3rd party wii titles unlike Project Natal, which probably will have to have all exclusive games."

I actually think it may be possible for Sony to port some third-party Natal games for use with the PSEye, though I could be completely wrong about that.

Gee, a Sony exec says the Sony product will be better. I'm sure there's an MS guy who says the same about Natal, and a Nintendo guy who'll keep saying the same thing about the Wii.

It doesn't mean anything, and reporting on it only encourages more meaningless comments from these execs.

I fail to see the relevance of the huge knockers and the old Jewish dude.

I think it's odd that No More Heroes HD won't be Sony Wiimote compatible. It's hard to image it without motion controls. Also, so many people posting here are in denial. Technology aside, when some off the first games coming out for are "Motion Party" and "Sing and Draw", I feel comfortable making an educated as to what kind of games will end up on it. That and the fact that the biggest game coming up to support it is everybody’s “favorite” Resident Evil game, numero 5. That probably makes me a hypocrite since many of the games available at the Wii’s launch were crappy licensed games. However, based on precedent, I’d say Sony should have held out until the PS4. It will almost certainly be a financial failure due to a lack of support, a lack of worthwhile games, a lack of interest, a lack of a large install base on the PS3, and a lack of new owners generated by it… need I say more? Needless to say, I won’t be buying Sony’s Wiimote when I get a PS3. I wish Sony would actually do more productive things with their time i.e. improve PlayStation Network, better moderate online game play in their games, make Home not be worthless, not copy other people’s ideas, ect.

I'm sorta excited to see how they use it. I guess.

...but what's with videogames and moving these days? Actual guitars and drums. Stupid skateboards. Motion controllers and fake guns. What's wrong with sitting on my couch and playing games with my thumbs!? If you want to do something that involves movement, just learn how to actually do it. Don't mess up my games.

Yeah, because I expected the Sony PR gay to stand up and say Natal kicked their asses, and they are abandoning motion controls. That would make perfect sense.

Crap, it was supposed to be "Sony PR gUy." Must be some secret slimy repressed Xbox fanboy inside me trying to crawl out.

I really hope they redesign that thing. Imagine if someone came over and saw that dong wand on your couch? They'd be like, "dude...".

@Rekkie
Naw. Ignore the cynics and occasional fanboys. Don't knock it 'til ya try it.

Actually, I'd be inclined to agree with them, seeing as how the PS3 controller can do everything the Wii remote can, but with better accuracy. But Nintendo had this going from the start, with a console built around this idea -- Sony won't be able to take what Nintendo has. I'm still buying it, though.

@Aaron126
I took the liberty of looking up stroundous, since you used it and I didn't know what it means. Guess what, neither does dictionary.com or my Canadian Oxford. When I did a google search for it, the first thing that came up was your post in this thread. I'm not trying to be an asshole, i just... want to know what you meant, I guess. Get back to me, if you can.

Love how people are passing judgement on a product we've only seen a prototype for.


I go where good games are, that's why I have a ps3 in the first place, and if they make this good I'll be getting it too, that simple.

Being that I have the 360, the PS3 and the Wii. Adding in the fact that I play them in that order. I think I'll pass on this PS3 Wiimote.

@ Chocalate - how the hell is this going to be "motion control for GAMERS" when it's virtually the same friggin thing as the Wiimote, but with less functionality. Seriously man, how delusional are you?

@ Noctis - Nintendo took it's first dive in motion controls back on the NES then brought it back out ever so often. They finally got it right with the Wii. Once Sony realized that motion control could be profitable they dropped the dual shock and developed the sixaxis.

Sony's Sexaxis is the only one that is likely to solve case A and case B of motion control gameplay.

Case A: actual gameplay applications that are fun
Case B: works accurately and consistently

The Wii does as much of A as we've ever seen from motion controls (take that for as much as you think it's worth) and occasionally does a little bit of B. But mostly it's too low fidelity and lacks absolute positioning capabilities.

Natal seems like it will do case B pretty well, but it utterly fails at case A. The EyeToy has already done what Natal is trying to do and it was an absolute failure outside of the "gimmick" of the thing, not because it was too low fidelity but because flailing your arms about to play a video game isn't that fun.
