Nintendo has dominated the video game console market with ther Wii for quite sometime, and to take some ofthat market share (and to breath new life into an aging plateform) Microsoft debuted their Xbox 360 Project Natal. Their motion control system received a lot of fanfare, but just today Sony announced their motion controller dubbed the Playstation Motion Controller which many are saying is the best of the three after it’s debut at E3. Although Sony arrived late to the motion control part, they may take the segment by storm. From what we’ve seen so far Sony’s motion control system is very smooth and accurate and looks great at 60 frames per second. Unlike the Xbox Natal which has no stick, the Sony Playstation Motion Controller uses a control stick kind of like the Wiimote, but is much more advanced. It makes use of the PS Eye camera which tracks a purple ball at the end of the Playstation motion stick which have trigger for first person shooters. Xbox 360 might have the upper hand with their stickless route and their facial recognition technology, and a sooner release date as the Sony Motion Controller isn’t due out until Spring of 2010. It looks like the console wars are heating back up.
