Looks like Sony is taking the 'motion-sensitivity' feature of their next-gen machine, the Playstation 3, to new heights. A patent has been filed for a new input device that allows the players to target a certain point in the 3-Dimensional much like the Wii-mote, by using a sender-portion and a receiver-portion structure, the space within which will provide certain interactivity based on the input received by the processing unit in the receiver portion.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
but the patent is dated May 2005? this could also rubbish claims that Sony copied Nintendo in the use of motion sensing in the controller? maybe.
To bad consumers can't put a rootkit on the PS3 to prevent them from stealing. Take them to court Mario. Do to them, like they did to Lik-Sang.
...Sony didn't copy Nintendo cause they put the patent way before Nintendo went public about Wii ;-)
Come up with your own innovative things for your concole, sony. like the amazing eye toy! I just can't stand how sony can never have a leg down. once microsoft had the "xbox 360 button" sony put one on theirs. once motion sensing was announced for the wii, sony made the six axis. download movies with 360, now sony announces the same thing.
Reporter: I heard xbox 360 can render amazing graphics and wipe your a$$.
Sony: Yea, well PS3 can also flush...and clean your toilet.
