Wii Move

Well, they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, if that's the case then Sony just paid Nintendo a pretty big compliment.

The press event held on March 11 by Sony entertainment unveiled a motion controller for the Playstation 3 called the Wii Playstation Move. The device is slated for release this Fall.


The Playstation Move looks and functions like the Nintendo Wii-mote. The biggest difference I noted was that it's black, and apparently, at least partially dependent on the Playstation Eye USB camera to work.

The Move will feature two hand-held, wireless controls--one for on-screen movement and button tapping, the other for cursor navigation and an analog stick. Demonstrations on the Playstation web-site seemed somewhat lacking in specific detail.

Whether it features controls better than what are available on the Nintendo Wii remains to be seen.

Technight will feature a full review when the Playstation Review is released.
