One of the main surprises at E3 2009 was Sony's announcement of its own motion-sensing controller to compete with the Wii and Xbox's Project Natal. Late last week, Sony let developers in on some more details of the system. Here's a partial-picture of how the system will work, in bullet-point form:

  • Scheduled to launch in Spring 2010.
  • It will hit market with a "range of first-party and third-party content."
  • The new controller functions "with any games across all genres from casual to core."
  • The "face-tracking and head-tracking capability already in the PS3 SDK" will offer developers "powerful tools for new types of user interaction."
  • Works in tandem with the PlayStation Eye's built-in microphone array for voice input and voice recognition.
  • Up to four of the new motion controllers can be tracked at once by the PlayStation Eye.
  • Sony is considering combining motion control wand and PS3 controller functions. Here's the example Sony offers; "the motion controller as a sword and use DualShock 3 as a shield."
  • It will use a lot of the PS3's power: "motion-tracking library has some SPU overhead and has an impact on memory as well, although these will be minimized."
