PlayStation 3 Motion Controller Update

Sony issued a press release this morning regarding its upcoming Motion Controller. In it, we learn a few things. First, the controller still does not have an official name. “Motion Controller” will have to do until they come up with something more snazzy. Second, the thing isn’t coming out this spring but rather during fall 2010 with that decision being chalked up to the fact that this fall will be when Sony will be able to offer up “an exciting and varied line-up of software titles that will deliver the new entertainment experience to PS3 users.”So, to recap…No name yet, fall 2010 instead of spring 2010…There ya go.
Those are pretty much the take away points from the press release, which you can read in full after the jump if you so desire.
PRESS RELEASE
Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) today announced that it will release its new Motion Controller (tentative name) for PlayStation3 (PS3) computer entertainment system in fall 2010 in Japan, Asian regions and countries, North America and Europe/PAL territories together with an extensive line-up of exciting software titles. The new controller, combined together with the PlayStationEye camera, can detect the natural and intuitive movement of the hand and reflect the precise movement within the game, delivering a whole new entertainment experience on PS3.
“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.

SCE 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 software title line-up for the Motion Controller, delivering groundbreaking interactive entertainment only possible on the PS3 platform.
