TOKYO, March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) today announced that PlayStation®Move motion controller for PlayStation®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system launches worldwide this fall, offering a motion-based, high-definition gaming experience unlike anything on the market.

Concurrently with its launch, SCE will also release PlayStation®Move sub-controller to be used along with the motion controller for intuitive navigation of in-game characters and objects. The PlayStation Move platform, including the motion controller, sub-controller, and PlayStation®Eye camera*(1), together with a strong lineup of software titles, will deliver an innovative and highly immersive experience on the PS3 system.

The combination of the PS3 system and PlayStation Eye camera detects the precise movement, angle, and absolute position in 3D space of PlayStation Move motion controller, allowing users to intuitively play the game as if they themselves are within the game.

PlayStation Move motion controller delivers unmatched accuracy through its advanced motion sensors, including a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor, as well as a color-changing sphere that is tracked by PlayStation Eye camera.

Through PlayStation Move system, both fast and subtle motion can be detected, whether the user is swinging a tennis racket, or painting with a brush. With PlayStation Move motion controller, users can provide direct input through action buttons and an analog trigger, while receiving physical feedback from rumble functionality and visual feedback from the sphere's ability to display a variety of different colors. Furthermore, PlayStation Eye camera can capture the player's voice or image, enabling augmented reality experiences.

The newly announced PlayStation Move sub-controller is a one-handed controller, developed to further expand the game play options that PlayStation Move games can offer*(2). PlayStation Move sub-controller features a sleek curved design that pairs with the motion controller and comes with an analog stick and directional buttons that allow users to easily control the game when moving characters or choosing a direction. Like all other

Wireless Controllers for the PS3 system, it comes with a built in lithium-ion rechargeable battery as well as Bluetooth® technology, enabling the controller to transfer the input information wirelessly to the PS3 system without a cable. PlayStation Move motion controller and sub-controller will further broaden the gaming experience on the PS3 system for all genres, from games that use one motion controller to games that use both controllers.

The introduction of PlayStation Move controllers has been well received within the industry and now 36 third party developers and publishers*(3) have decided to support PlayStation Move platform. In fiscal year 2010, SCE Worldwide Studios will also release more than 20 games that are either dedicated to or supported with the PlayStation Move platform.

SCE, with strong support from software developers and publishers, will deploy various measures to enhance the PlayStation Move software title line-up and vigorously promote the PS3 platform.

*(1) Users will need to use the PlayStation Eye camera to enjoy PlayStation Move motion controller on PS3.
*(2) DUALSHOCK® or SIXAXIS® Wireless Controller can also be used in place of the sub controller.
*(3) Please refer to the attached list below for detail.

Important note on the pricing: Ars says some games they played required TWO controllers, not simply the wand plus nunchuk. Ugh.

Looks cool... I guess... wow, Wii HD. Seems symptomatic of this generation as a whole, the whole ME TOO phase. MS with HD-DVD, motion and Avatars, Sony with basically everything online trying to catch up to XBL and now this Wiimote clone. Why is someone going to spend $200+ more to get what the Wii gives them?

The talk is that MS is going to force Natal on everyone, maybe even start including it with the system, will Sony match? Hell, Arcade SKU's are going for $130cdn this weekend at basically every retail chain, seems like MS can afford to chuck in a $50 camera and keep their price point. How is this not gonna be Eyetoy v.2.0?

So realistically as some games require two controllers and assuming you don't already have an eyetoy2, this black dildoesque disco freak controller setup is going to cost $250+ including a proper game (not a minigame demo collection).

Err no thanks. Not worth the price of admission at this stage.

If rumors are true and Natal is released for $50 or bundled with new 360's at Xmas, I can see it fairing a hell of a lot better at retail than PS Move, regardless if it's less responsive.

At Sony's price point we are going to need half a dozen AAA titles to justify itself, if ever.

I'm passing at this stage.


Edit... Oh and the Sub Controller (nunchuk) is not included in any of the bundles. So you can add another $40-50....

Looks pretty good to me. Like the Wii, but better. :confused:

If I was into "waggle", I would probably look forward to this. Then again, if I was into that, I would probably own a Wii already...

We'll see how it goes for Sony. This has more appeal to me than Natal, but I'm still planning on passing.

I'm definitely more for this than Natal, but what. Nunchuck much?
The whole thing about the Wii isn't the controls though. It's the price and software. Casuals love the cheap, ten-a-penny party games and the hardcores love their Mario, Zelda, Metroid et al.

I hope they bundle this with the PS3. £250+all this would be an awful lot of money for a 4 year old console.

LOL. Just re-read this. Come on who other than the nimble bendy fingered yoga freak Dhalism from StreetFighter has the ability to cup a ps3 dual shock controller in one hand and operate the d-pad with any kind of fluid precision.

So 'can also be used' means 'should probably not be used'......

Don't they already have in place bundles for this thing?

*PS3 + Move + Eye Toy 2 + Move Game = $350
*Move + Eye Toy 2 + Move Game = ?

It would be rather stupid not to bundle the eyetoy 2 and Move together so I think Sony will at the $100 price but only the move alone...no. I'm still uncertain about all this motion talk and Natal looks out right glitchy so my interest level in that project is at zero.

I'm not particularly fond of the motion control stuff but that brawler they showed using the wand looked exceptionally good...also SOCOM 4 bitches!!:D

I won't play SOCOM 4 with this controller though...I'll try it out but the DS3 is where I'll go for my multiplayer SOCOM fun.

Meh, waggling.

I have a camera already, so if I wanted this I'd just have to buy sticks - exactly like the Wii. I can imagine pricing being exactly the same as well, so in the UK call it £40-45 for a wand + sub-controller.


Oh, I'm also sceptical of Natal's rumoured $50 price point.

I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to ship Natal as a loss leader. Hell, they've shipped the 360 for years as one. At this point, it'll never make a substantial amount of money for them.

Sony doesn't have the luxury of riding on the coat tails of Windows and Office.

No, but Sony hopes to make money someday. The PlayStation business has been a major money maker for them in the past. My point was I don't think Microsoft really cares since the Entertainment and Devices division is so small compared to Office and Windows, and it's never really made money anyway.

Microsoft is not incurring the same risk Sony would be if Sony decided to really push this. So it makes you wonder if Sony is really behind the Move or if it's just an accessory (like the EyeToy and even PlayStation Eye turned out to be).

While MS may not care (I highly doubt this), their shareholders care quite a bit that they are taking a loss. They have been very vocal in the past about the xbox division running in the red, as well as voicing their displeasure when the xbox group borrow from more profitable groups in order to move forward.

Sony is behind the Move or they wouldn't have spent the time or talent to develop it, there will be 3 different skus

I'll give you Avatars as a 'me too mii' (and a rather pointless one at that), but HD-DVD was a given seeing as how that's a format MS helped create and the only reason HD-DVD wasn't standard on the 360 is because they wanted to get the console out sooner and cheaper than the PS3. The Natal is sort of me too but I give MS credit for taking it to the next level and not just cloning the Wiimote and nunchuck.

Honestly, I'm most looking forward to Natal and not just for casual games but also for interacting w/the 360 as a home entertainment device w/o needing a remote control of any kind. I wouldn't be surprised to see Natal sold at a loss (hardware loss and software profits is traditionally how it goes) and to come standard w/the next xbox.

I disagree. HD-DVD was definitely a "me too" move by MS. Just another bullet point to add to their list to offset the value-added advantages PS3 offer(s) (though the price of the PS3 certainly were affected by the 'value').

Natal is a "me too" of Nintendo. Would they honestly be spending millions of dollars on a risky scheme if Nintendo hadn't struck oil with Wii? Kudos to MS for making it different at least.

You honestly think that MS, one of the companies behind HD-DVD, never, ever planned to add HD-DVD functionality to the 360? It never dawned on them that the 360 could be used to playback HD-DVDs until Sony announced the PS3 was going to have Blu-ray? Really? When Nintendo finally goes HD is that going to be a "me too" move as well?

And that's why it's only a 'sort of me too' IMO because the 360 isn't adding its version of a Wiimote and nunchuck clone. Nintendo stepped away from the traditional controller and MS is taking it one step farther by eliminating the controller.

I just looked at the presentations of the Move "games" a little more, and I have to say I expected a little more originality. (A rail shooter? Really?) They seem more like tech demos than games, and also tech demos that we have all seen before. Hopefully they can do much better than that when this thing launches....

I'm not planning on buying "Move" either way, but I do like my Playstations, and I would like for Sony to be successful enough to make another one at some point. They've suffered enough with the PS3 already.

Personally the games I've actually enjoyed on the wii were the ones that did not use any Waggle at all (bar wii sports)

The majority for me are gimmicky, ineffective, unresponsive, and damn right annoying.

They continue to insist every gamer is Right Handed, regardless that a simple menu option would resolve a lot of Lefties problems with games where characters hold items in wrong hands or your punches etc.. are opposite. Yes I know I can switch controllers round but that is not as comfortable for me.

In the real world people don't insist I hold a pen in my other hand because they don't support me using it my left.

Oh and with more and more attachments to the remote it's starting to feel like I'm at the gym working out holding the wii remote rather than engaging with whats happening on screen.




SixAxis controls on the PS3 so far have all been gimmicks, and games like LAIR still prove that they work better with the subsequent analogue control patch.

I am just not prepared to gamble another $100+ for 1 MOVE™, another $100+ for a MOVE™substick & MOVE™ (as some games require two MOVE™ controllers) and then plop down $60 on a game that probably would work better with a controller anyway (Socom 4's hand-on seemingly prove that old fashioned controls still work better than the move implementation).

For me motion controls are over rated.


That being said I am at least 'intrigued' by Natal™, not simply for 'motion control' in games, but for the way it allows you to interact including using your voice etc. Milo demo springs to mind. Of course whether it works in proper gaming circumstances is a big ? and whether Lag can be compensated accordingly is another ?

However for me it offers a bigger potential 'over all' and add to the fact that it is geared up for a $50 price tag or bundled with new 360's means its $150 less of a gamble if it ends up gathering dust alongside my Wii......


Sony have already got me to part with $ for Buzz™ controllers (sat in a drawer not being used) and Singstar™ mic's (sat in a drawer not being used)....

I don't need any more crap filling up that drawer. Especially 'expensive' crap.

I love gaming on my PS3, and I'm open to being persuaded to love the MOVE™, but they have their work cut out to part with $...

You seem quite certain about this, even though you've never used it, nor do you even know what games will be played on it. A small amount of lag might be an issue with these systems if you're trying to play games like Call of Duty, Need 4 Speed or Street Fighter, but I highly doubt those will be popular genres for these types of controls. If all I'm playing is Wii Sports or those types of games, a small amount of lag will hardly be a problem.

Lag sucks. 1/10 is a lot of lag, even though it might sound like its no big deal. Every try to play a game online with 100ms ping? Its brutal and takes all the fun out of it.

But i guess if the only games you expect it to be able to handle is wii-sports caliber than 1/10 should be fine.


For the record, i am not a fan of any motion control crap, be it Move, Natal, or the WiiMote.

I wasn't questioning the validity of your 1/10th of a second lag claim. I was making the point that you have NOT played any of these games, and thus have no basis to claim that the lag "sucks" while playing them. Until people see real games, in real people's homes, we are all just guessing as to how well they do or do not work.

I agree. But again, the types of games where you are playing when 100ms is the difference between life and death is precisely the types of games I don't think you will get, or want to play, with these setups.
For the record, i am not a fan of any motion control crap, be it Move, Natal, or the WiiMote.
Nor am I. But I still think these setups work very well for simple, casual games, where 100ms is pretty meaningless, and I predict we will see plenty of those types of games with both "Natal" and Move when they hit the market.

Please go read Molyneaux's recent interview at Eurogamer. The revision of Natal used in that article utilised much older software/hardware and there have been many revisions subsequently for the better.

Please do not assume demo of unfinished hardware represents final quality. We can judge Lag once Natal is commercially available. Until then argueing about it is a falacious argument and utterly unrepresentational.

Natal's peformance can be debated later on fact, not heresay - oppinion - and unfinished hardware.

Mar 17, 2010, 04:04 PM
Digital Foundry (Eurogamer) have done playstation Move lag anaylsis.

I'd say that a ballpark figure of around 133ms of controller lag (give or take a frame)

Is that really 'that' much different to Natal ?

http://kotaku.com/5495260/so-how-laggy-is-playstation-move

Looks like all motion controls will feature some lag. I still don't like motion control in games generally, and it's one of the main reasons i stopped playing most wii games (add to the quality of releases that tend to follow).

I'm sure it's going to be around for a long while though....

I personally just want to hold a controller and push buttons and analog sticks, not move all around my living room. I could be wrong, but my guess is both this and Natal will demo very well (like the Wii did). And they will probably both have that 1 awesome title that is sort of fun for a while and you show it off to your friends with (like Wii Sports). But then, after the novelty/gimmick wears off, and games start to make you do ridiculous stuff in them, it will get old REAL quick.

Again, that is just my initial guess. I'll reserve my final judgment until I see ACTUAL games played in ACTUAL people's homes. But I highly doubt I will purchase either of these new motion add-ons.

on engadget they got soe more information fro mthe FCC for the sony nunchuk / "navigational controller"

* Wireless control completely untethered from the PlayStation Move motion controller.
* Intuitive navigation of in-game characters
* Easy and intuitive XMB menu navigation.
* Built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery
* Charge the controller and automatically pair with the PS3 system via a USB cable
* Up to two motion controllers and two navigation controllers can be connected at once to the PS3 system.
* Note: DUALSHOCK3 wireless controller can be used in place of the navigation controller for all games that are compatible with the navigation controller.


2 move + 2 navigational controller per system ? looks like that 7 controllers max is finally to bite with preventing full 4 player support if you want the subcontroller

This will be awesome for FPS's. I love the Wii Remote for shooters....much more than analog sticks. So, I may just get this for the PS3. This is one area where motion controls are far superior to a standard controller.

It will just be a while before I want to invest in the whole Move package. Kind of hefty. Maybe I'll get it toward the end of the year.

Any experience with "real" games yet, like Heavy Rain or RE5?

I have to say that I have underestimated the power of casuals again, Playstation Move has been a total hit here. I work at a hypermarket's home entertainment department and nothing has sold out completely in a long time except the latest Singstar and now PlayStation Move starter sets, controllers (not navigation controller though) and most of it's games.

Kind of makes me sad that there's a full stock of Halo: Reach Limited Editions...

I got RE5 works great it uses the Move/Nav controller, Basically you move around with the nav aim/shoot with the move controller.

I also been reading the Move controller and bundle have been moving in and out of backorder the whole week on gamestops website.

I like the move controller, but it was a bit expensive by the time I bought the move pack, the controller, and (full game) sports champions it was basically €150

For Sony to be saying Kinect is more expensive, when it comes with a full game (not a bunch of demos) is a bit cheeky in hindsight.



Best game on Move for me is Tumble. Playing it with the move controller on my Samsung LED 3DTV is awesome.

I Might Pick up MAG this or next weekend I hear it works fairly decent with it and the 30$ price now and 2.0 sound great for it.
