Playstation Developing Controller Similar to Wii-Mote?
Here’s some interesting story that PlayStation Underground held a secret focus group earlier this year in a facility in ****** ****, California to test a new PlayStation controller in development.
Once inside the testing facility, these PS3 owners were shown a mini-tripod that stood about 12 inches high. and what looked like 4 black PS3 “wiimotes”. Well they were essentially “wiimotes” for the PS3, but didn’t need a “nunchuck” attachment.
I will refer to them as “PS3motes” for now on. You can have up to 4 of these “PS3motes” connected at one time. A demonstrator at this focus group was there showing off the “PS3motes” capabilities, along with some mini-games to play. The mini games ranged from tennis, to fencing, to a “really really cool” paintball game. The demonstrator even used the “PS3mote” to play “Quake” on his laptop.
The “PS3mote” is said to be incredibly responsive and accurate. When the demonstrator crouched while playing the paintball game, the character on screen did as well.

Somehow I have little faith in this piece of news story. But it’d be interesting to see how Microsoft and Playstation can come up with a controller more interactive like the wii-mote.

After my experience with the Wii I’ll have to say NO to this
until I see it in action for myself
Yea, ive seen this around now and i cant say im too happy about it. Ive always considered the Wii to be better console wise because of gameplay and it would figure PS3 want a peice of that action, though its not gonna work out for them as the majority of people who have PS3 always seem to complain about the WIi online because they “dont wanna look like idiots playing it” because of swinging. Who would buy what is essentially a Wii for 2-3 times the cost?
Didnt they already do that for PS2 anyway?
