Shortly after Microsoft demonstrated it’s revolutionary Project Natal, Sony took the stage on E3 to demonstrate their own version of motion sensing controller. Unlike Microsoft, Sony feels like some experiences require a controller, especially in FPS games. The controller looked like a magic wand with a ball on the top which changes colour under different situations during game play. It should be noted that the device is in prototype stage and Sony has promised that the final version will be different.The demonstration was mind blowing as the controller features sub millimeter precision. With such precision, the possibilities are limitless and with the right pricing, Sony might have a real winner here.
Is it better than Wii? Definitely! Is it better than Natal? Not really! Sony has tried to strike a balance between both Wii and project natal, by addressing the limitations of both the technologies. It’s true that Microsoft’s Natal and Sony’s new controller, has set a new trend in the gaming industry and now it’s the developer's job to bring out the true potential out of these new technologies. With the technical capabilities of both the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360, it’s clear that Nintendo Wii may get into serious trouble next year when actual playable games start to show up. Until then, hit on the read link for the demonstration video.
