Sony Move Shocased – PlayStation’s answer to Wii

Posted by Piyush Agarwal on March 11th, 2010



This is in, hot news and latest. Taking a leap into the motion gaming segment which till now has been pre-dominantly owned(in a way) by Nintendo’s Wii, Sony announced its next PlayStation addition, Sony Move!! This will be exactly what Apple iPad’s launch did to Amazon Kindle.

Initially it was rumored to be named as Arc, Sony Move, the motion game controller was showcased today at GDC 2010. Though some may say, its a copy of Nintendo’s concept, I think this is for good. But before what I think, more about Move…

What is Sony Move?

Sony Move, is a PlayStation 3 add-on which will enable gamers to play motion controller games on PS3. This is something that has been missing till now. Many were looking forward to waiting for Project Natal from Xbox.

How does it work?

PlayStation Move will work through the Playstation Eye – a camera device. This device is already available in the market. It will detect the precise movement, angle and position of the motion controller. It has been told that the camera will map accurate movements and the sensors are super-sensitive which includes gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetic field sensor. The sphere head of the controller changes colors.

There is also a sub controller with keys and analog controller similar to Wii to control directions, etc. These controllers connect to the Playstation via Bluetooth-wireless technology and will have rechargeable batteries.

Games?

There are a long and promising list of games lined up for Sony Move from many gaming companies. Resident Evil 5, Sports games, Eye Pet and lot more under development. Nintendo has not been able to offer a lot of games for the gamers till now. Guess that will change with Sony Move.


What would be the price?

Sony’s Move will be released later in the year and will be priced at around $100. UK price not confirmed yet and have no clue, when it will hit India.
