I believe this was a rumor I created a thread about (and apparently it wasn't the first), and I believe most Nintendo fanboys on this site shot me down. Well, we'll see what the games are, because the device is coming. Like I said then, I think this is a genius move because games like Raving Rabbids and Boogie are already ported to the PS2 and games like Madden look like the PS2 version.

"At Leipzig, In2Games will be revealing a line of PS2 titles with motion sensing capabilities. Games like Realplay Pool, Realplay Golf, Realplay Racing, and Realplay Bowling will come packaged with "Freedom" remotes that emulate tools of the game, like pool cues and golf clubs. (Currently they have similar offerings that require multiple components to work at a limited capacity.)

At $60 a pop and the massive PS2 install base, these titles could do very well this Christmas if Wii shortages continue. You know, for the folks who wear jeans from Walmart and believe that 1-ply toilet paper is just as safe as 2."

How can you read this and claim "I was right?" It's verifiable proof that you aren't. I actually read this hours ago and specifically thought of your thread, and thought "Welp, if we needed more evidence that Windbane was wrong, we have it." This isn't made by Sony, it's made by a third party. Other than simply allowing this peripheral to be made for their console, Sony is not supporting this in any way -- they aren't making the controls, and they aren't making any software for it at all.

And we also have a thread on this already.

We'll see what the details are next week, but I don't think it matters who makes it because it's a smart idea.

That's fine, you're welcome to that opinion, but Sony isn't making this at all, so it's probably inappropriate to rub it in "Nintendo Fanboys" faces :p

And the DK Bongos changed the world....

I'm not rubbing anything in, just defending EGM's rumormill that is usually at least partially correct.  Perhaps Sony was originally involved directly, perhaps they still are.  We'll find out.

It will probably only work if big games are supported anyway.  The device(s) would need to become widespread enough so that each Wii title could be more easily ported to the PS2. 

DK bongos sucked I have it..

@Windbane
EGM rumor was about a U$ 99 PS2 re-release with waggle from Sony. There was no $ 60 3rd party peripheral and $ 30 games that are not even a full Wiisports.
You can not port Wii titles to PS2 (at least not the wii control scheme). The Wii control is build within the console, there is no way a cheap 3rd party peripheral can mimic it. You may think that this will save PS3 by shifting the developers attention from Wii to PS2, but not even the PS3 can mimick Wii control scheme without severe hardware modifications.

I love how this thread is a complete spin on something that's been getting trashed for about 2 pages in the other thread.

PS2 was not designed around this.
