I hope Sony doesn't just brush this off, and actualy gets behind this thing finally. Like mentioned above bundles would do great for getting the device into homes. Games like Tiger Woods, Virtua Tennis, and such could be bundled with the controller and camera. If Sony is smart they will come up with their own mini games collection, and make it even deeper than Wii Sports, Sports resort, and Play combined. Then add in a big name games like, Resistance 3. Follow all of that up with a new IP that focuses on the controls, but maintains the Sony quality (great story, tech showcase). Hell, I bet that The Last Gardian could use this in a very intuitive way.

Personally, I think that Sony's idea of motion is going to make the PS3 even a better motion machine than the Wii. They want motion that makes sense, and can be implemented into the games we all love, without feeling like a tacked on gimic. Just what they showed with the sword and shield was enough to finally get me thinking, maybe motion is more than a joke.

To add to the OP. Gamespot just announced that Peter Dillie has confirmed that this tech is already in the hands of some 3rd party parteners, and is being rolled out to everyone.

I belive that Lond Studios dropped Getaway, and Eight Days to focus on a game with this device in mind, so we should see something from Sony that really shows this tech off soon.

As to PS3 lead platform. It only makes sense from a development platfrom to make things on the best tech and go down from there. Developing that way only makes the lesser platforms better. It is a lot easyer to scale back better tech than it is to advance crappy tech.

HYPOCRISY. All of a sudden motion control is relevant now Sony have it, yet it was a "gimmick" up to that point? Also, how can you tell from a quick demo with a knock off dildo-y type thing that this- probably far from a finished product is somehow superior to the Wii remote. Something already on the market with years of development behind it!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

It's gimmicky when your entire lineup is made around motion controls when its obvious to anyone who thinks about it that motion controls are not always the best way to play a game, in fact id put it in the minority side of things.  The Wii has tons and tons of games but in reality its lineup of good games with good controls is just about equal to the other two consoles.

I think that games will be ported and they will have wii graphics just upscaled. will they sell any better? No will they make some money? Yes. Porting a game increases potential sales. the new controller should be bundled with say tiger woods 11 next year. this way EA and sony can kill 2 birds with one stone as it will help tiger woods sales while increasing the people who has the controller. they should make Ratchet and Clank bundle just as they mentioned the game at the conference. PS3 does have the luxury of being able to patch their older games to work with the controller.
