PS3 motion control set for March release

Sony’s revolutionary new PlayStation 3 (PS3) motion controller is set for a March 2010 release, according to a leaked document.

The Sega document is a summary of a meeting held between Sega and Sony Computer Entertainment America in August this year, which also highlighted the goal of selling between four and five million units of the controller.

Sony also revealed in the document that it is currently putting forward suggestions of games that would be suitable for integration with the new motion controller to prospective game publishers.

The electronics giant revealed its latest controller during a conference earlier this year and, much like the Wii remote, the device is a wireless stick, with the PlayStation’s Eye Camera tracking a purple ball mounted on top of the controller.

These movements are then mapped on screen at a ratio of one-to-one at an impressive speed of 60 frames per second.

Motion capture ability means that the controller can track movements to within seven mm, with speed and power of gestures also being recognised.
