Sony threw their motion controller hat into the gaming ring this afternoon. To compete with Nintendo's Wii-mote and Microsoft's recently announced "Project Natal," Sony revealed the Playstation Motion Controller at their E3 press conference.
A demonstration team took the stage and showed off a new controller that works in conjunction with the Playstation Eye. The controller is shaped pretty much like the Wii-mote, but the end is a glowing purple ball which the Playstation Eye uses to track your motion.
The video displayed on your TV will replace the controller in your hand with, for example, a virtual tennis racquet or a golf club. The team said it's true 1:1 motion tracking.
They showed other possible uses for it, like a first-person tank game where you'll use your arms to aim to fire on an archery shooting range.
It's still early, but they're looking to release it in 2010.

it looked good but at the same time it didn't look good.
