New Controller On The Way?
Citing several inside sources, Variety's Cut Scene blog reports that Sony's rumored motion-sensing Playstation 3 controller is very real indeed and will likely be revealed at the coming E3 gaming convention in June.
While Sony's current Sixaxis PS3 controller already detects motion, its functionality is severely limited compared to the Nintendo Wii remote. According to the article, the new device will one-up the Wii controller by using tiny LED lights and a small webcam to track movement, which will apparently make for much more accurate motion-detection. This bears a striking similarity to a patent application filed by Sony in 2006, lending an air of credibility to the claim.
If the report proves true, the new controller will make the second significant hardware news to be leaked from Sony's camp in the run-up to the all-important E3 convention. Can't anyone keep a secret anymore?
