Can't wait for this to turn up again in the near future, even more than Natal, this can actually be used for gaming.

I don't care is it looked like a banana. If I could play Demon's SOuls like that demo with sword and shield, and the arching then sign me up for looking like an ass at home. At least your wife or girlfriend can never say you don't make them laugh!

omg be a joke god plz make it stop

Well it had the most bugs out of the 3... you would have to be blind to declare this the best motion sensor.

In all seriousness, I thought that they would've answered MS with their 3D tech they've been messing around for awhile (Qore about Burnout Paradise).

But when I saw the motion controller tech demo, the part with the tanks, made me remember of that thing they did where you draw your own tank to the cam and use it as your own.

This controller was clearly a contingence plan by sony in case microsoft rolled out their own tech.MS set up clearly has more potential for the future but cant help think sonys is more pratical in the short to medium term.I dont think the price of both will be a major factor towards their sucess,just look how much people are prepared to pay for rock band/guitar hero add ons.this "wand" is more like the wiis but will the ps3 image to casuals stop it being sucessful with no major mascots like mario ect..

I dont like motion at all and I want to mess with it.. Not to mention it looks like they have a lot more uses then even the Wii has been used for in just their tech demos...

I imagine neither the ps3 or 360 motion sensing will take off... But the Ps3 more than likely is the best motion sensing.

I dont want to play video games without controller...period!!!

be it natal or ps3 motion or wiimote

this new control is way more realistic than the 360s Natal thing, and looks more accurate and flexible than the wii

Either way, motion control sucks.

I liked natal for things like general use, you know, sitting back on your couch, scrolling through the menus with no controller.

And can see how the PS3's motion control can be used since it is so precise, you know - maybe sat back, point and click web browsing, or for some kind of drawing program, he shown that it was extremely precise and can be use for drawing.

I just don't think i want it in my big games, you know - i don't want to be running around using sonys motion control playing killzone 2 or call of duty and i don't want to be driving with nothing in my hand or fighting an image on a tv with natal.

The prototype controller looks like a dildo, but is very impressive the way is use, also the motion camera shown by Microsoft looks pretty awesome.

You know what I love?

How many people hated on the Wii are now rushing to defend the motion offerings of their respective BFF platform holders.

Hilarious.

Video games suck.

My jaw dropped when I saw how precise the controller was! And thank god that was just a prototype! I'm guessing Sony will implement this controller when the PS4 comes out?

They are all as good as can be.

The question is...who's design is better?

Sony's.
Its SO SIMPLE!!! ITS A LIT UP BALL!! COME ONE! I bet if one breaks you can just make another one =P

The price i hope is extreemly low =)

It never too late, especially when we still haven't reach half the 10 year cycle.

I will admit at first i was thinking an ugly version of wii mote immitation but when they were showing just how percise the sensor was with there movements and how he went into first person view, i really have to say that this was just as good as anything we seen thus far with any motion sensor.

Sony's product: Controller + ability to sense movement(via eyetoy)

Natal: ability to sense movement + body recognition + voice recognition

So who wins?

in my opinion, natal is cool, but wayyy too casual. I mean, i'd like to see a sports game use it, im not so sure that it will sense the angle of your wrist for games like tennis, baseball. but i wish sony's product had cool menu navigation like natal

This is just a Wii Like.

Microsoft puts thing in other level.

Ps3 stills thw worst console ever made no matter what , i hate my ps3 and im so fuc*ing happy to have a 360.

Better Games , better Online , Better Graphics , Better and Bigger Community , Better Services , Better Movie player aka NetFlix.

i dont turn my ps3 on since march!

waste of money

Hahaha... let me guess.. Its now cool for PS3 fans to jump around, waggling their controllers, and swinging at things.

I expect Sony to deliver on motion controllers for the hardcore, just like they have always delivered to the hardcore audience. The precission in the 3D space is game ready, if they launch with some refinements and good games i will support Sony with this. The PS3 has done more than enough for the hardcore gamer in me, and what is to come is just mouth watering. Heavy Rain got my attention, and The Last Guardian, etc. I expect to see this full support for the motion controller with the PS3 eye, and of course the next 5 years in gaming are going to be a wild ride.

lolli pop lol

Even though the PS3 motion controller isn't an original idea, it does appear to be the most ultra responsive (1 to 1 response) motion device, and looks ready to go. On the other hand, the Natal has lots of potential.

Even the greatest fan boy in the world would have to admit that PS3's motion controller was spot on. The accuracy was incredible. the guy was able to right legible words for goodness sake. His aim with the controller was amazing. I have played the Wii and didn't have the kind of accuracy that they looked like they had. Not to mention that this is a prototype. Just think what the finished one will be like. Anyway Microsoft's Natal seems to iffy to me. Sound like a pipe dream rather then reality. If they want to pull this off it will have to be perfect or it's going to be just a glorified Eye Toy or Wii-mote

that doesn't take away from the fact that, for very early, prototype technology, it performed really well.

i think what impressed me the most about Sony's presentation in general this year, is that they demoed pretty much EVERY game they talked about.

the only game that didn't really get any representation was Agent, from Rockstar, and i'm sure that's because Rockstar isn't ready to show it, but Sony wanted to announce it, so it was a compromise.

they demoed Uncharted 2 single player.
they demoed MAG.
they demoed Mod Nation Racers.
they demoed the motion tech.
they demoed God of War 3.

they showed gameplay trailers of Metal Gear PSP.
they showed gameplay trailers of Gran Turismo PSP.
they showed gameplay of Little Big Planet PSP in that montage trailer.
they showed a gameplay trailer of Gran Turismo 5.
they showed a gameplay trailer of The Last Guardian.

on the third party, multi-platform front, they demoed Assassin's Creed 2, which looked AWESOME.

i don't think Sony gets credit for doing ANYTHING right. they were criticized at past E3s for not showing off gameplay, and showing CG trailers, and what do they do this year? just about all gameplay. nothing was CG.

they can't win for trying, it seems.

i think what is also understated is that their entire presentation focused on EXCLUSIVES, not multi-platform titles.

Microsoft's press conference seemed to be 70% multi-plat, 30% exclusives, with a large portion of the presentation revolving around non-gaming services (like Facebook, Twitter, and the 1080p video service).

Microsoft seems to change it's tune every E3. first it was all about the hardcore. last year it was all about the casual. this year it seemed all about video and music services that many an Xbox fanboy claimed they didn't buy a 360 for, but it's suddenly awesome now.

if there is one thing that Sony is (besides a big, money hungry corporation), is consistent. the message of the Playstation platforms has been the same for the past 13+ years: Playstation products are multi-media devices, and the applications for those platforms cater to that fact.

the PSP cleaned house this E3, but the PS3 certainly wasn't a slouch, with many a game revealed for it.

hell, their conference was so big that they didn't even cover White Knight Chronicles, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Heavy Rain, the new Pixel Junk Shooter game, Fat Princess, etc.

having 20 first party developers, and 10 second party developers all working on exclusive games for your platform is a double edged sword.

it's hard to announce all the games in a 2 hour press conference.

i mean, they even kept the boring sales talk to a minimum this year (a far cry from what they used to do - excluding last years adorable LBP sales chart, which was classic).

this year, just like last year, Sony seemed to focus on games that were genuinely exclusive to the Playstation platforms, but also touched briefly on the multi-platform games in their various video montages.

the motion controls seemed the most precise and functional compared to the other two, which is a shame, since Nintendo has been doing this longer than all of them. Microsoft's tech was impressive, but it wasn't demoed live on stage like Sony's, and therefore felt very, i don't know, "markety." like a PR shill. Sony's motion controller presentation felt like,"yeah, yeah, we're jumping on the bandwagon too, but here's what we got. take from it what you will." the irony is that it genuinely looked promising, and worked amazingly well for just prototype tech.

there was no hyperbole in their presentation of the motion controls, just an acknowledgment that motion controls are now the big thing, and Nintendo has been damn successful at it, and being a business, they would be fools to not jump on it. Microsoft isn't stupid either, and saw that motion controls is just smart business for now. it may not last, but Nintendo has, undoubtedly, had that pie all to itself for damn near three years now.

this is only going to force Nintendo to step up their game, and hopefully start to deliver more quality games utilizing the feature that they've been claiming for years would revolutionize the industry.

it's kind of ironic that Microsoft and Sony look to be doing what the Wii has, so far, failed to set out to do.

microsoft got something, but sony got so much more. Microsoft can innovate with that - how will shooters work LMAO

I've not much interest in motion controls myself, I've yet to even pick up a Wii remote. But I did see both Microsoft and Sony's presentations and from what I could piece together:

Nintendo: Motion controller

Microsoft: Motion camera

Sony: Motion controller & Motion camera

I'm quite happy that sony is looking at using the regular Playstation Eye camera for this thing too, because I already have one.

I will keep a watchful eye on how each of these new pieces of hardware turn out, but I'm pretty confident that I will end up choosing a good old fashioned control pad every time, given the option.

I think there is flaws in Natals design:-

*It would be weird holding out hands as if holding a steering wheel, and I don't know if it could sense you moving your feet as if braking/accelerating.

*Voice recognition is a ropey program, and with the vast amounts of different accents in the world, I am not sure how well it would recognise different voices.

*Doesn't seem to be much precision to it, case in point, the painting program.

*Don't think it would work with FPS games, as you have no trigger to pull and the only way I can see you would moved is to walk on the spot.

So I think it has a lot of things to be worked out, but as it is I think the PS3 motion controller looks like it is more practical for hardcore games.

...with a motion controller usable on all games. Natal is sweet tech indeed, but as others have posted, it's a rough, broad motion detection. Sony's has PRECISION and BUTTONS! I'm sure they'll add more buttons and perhaps a thumbstick.

In my opinion, Sony has the perfect gamer's motion controller.

I'm also looking forward to Halo3 OSDT!
