Unlike the Big Three automakers in America, one company is willing to keep up with the latest in technology. This Friday, Sony is releasing its newest addition to the Playstation 3 gaming console, the motion controller. This move attempts to place the Playstation 3 ahead of the Nintendo Wii, which was the first console to be controlled by motion sensors. In addition, the release of the new controller this Friday will give Sony’s Playstation 3 a head start from another rival, Microsoft’s Xbox 360, which will release its Kinect sensor in November.
Recently lagging behind in gaming innovation, the Playstation with its latest feature should place itself back atop the wish lists of many gaming enthusiasts. As we approach the Christmas season, this new motion device should make Sony competitive in the battle between the gaming console manufacturers.
With the benefit of serving, spiking, shooting, and stabbing as though it’s real, I see this console as being another blockbuster. Although I, personally, will not be lining up for this new motion controller, I am excited to see this product’s release. Then, perhaps if it is, in fact, as cool as it appears to be, I will have something else to purchase other than textbooks.
