T3's Artist Concept for the PS3 Motion controller

T3: PS3 fans, do we have a visual treat for you...

"With much of the gaming world looking to 2010 as the landing date of Microsoft's gaming revolution Project Natal, it's easy to forget that rival Sony is also preparing its own Wii-inspired motion control device - the PS3 Motion controller.

Expected to launch in Spring 2010, Sony has (unsurprisingly) tried to keep details of the PS3 Motion controller under wraps, and aside from an EA executive inadvertently spurting out 'Gem' as its probable codename, they've made a very good job of keeping those vital specs a secret.

However, in true T3 style, we couldn't help but flex our visionary powers once more to conjure up what we think the 'Gem' could end up looking like. Calling on the help of our creative design friends at The Alloy (who helped bring the 01 Phone and Netpad to life), we've now realised our own take on Sony's PS3 motion controller."

[danthegardner]

need an analog stick on it. Kinda like the nub on the psp. I wonder what that big long button is for.

[Bungie]

looks alot like a wiimote but with a bid ball

[sinncross]

I just hope they keep the name to 'Shere' and not 'Gem'.
SPhere sounds cool, but Gem sounds kinda of lame.

Anyways, in case ppl did not read: all those pictures are conceptual from the site itself. Whether there is an analog remains to be seen.

[Hellsvacancy]

Wots it supposed 2 look like a Christmas tree?

[Marceles]

He'll only be happy if there was a green X on it...

[kira42]

I think they were adding a finger print scanner so the long button must that

[happyface]

/facepalm at sony

one of the biggest gaming related failures ever?

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Damn Sony, you still got time. Add an analog stick ASAP.

[RememberThe357]

No, thats called Natal, and it's made by Microsoft. I can understand how you could mix it up though :)

@1.11 O.o Someone need to pump the brakes. What are you going to do if Natal sucks? No PS3 fans are bagging for this thing. Your throwing all your eggs in the Natal basket. You are the only one taking this seriously and it's kind of funny to watch.

[gaffyh]

These are concept renders from T3, read the article, so not official Sony renders. Just fyi.

[jwatt]

The motion controller is the analog!

[velcry]

Hi to all the above people who didn't read the article, the quote in my subject title may be informative for you.

In any case, whoever submitted the article shouldn't have had such a misleading title.

[Darkstorn]

I like the design, but what's the black oval thing? Could it be a mini-touchscreen to slide your finger across?

[Why o why]

gem definitely makes it sound like a sex toy

[gokuss122002]

it appears to me that the "long button" in not a button, but actually a sensor. If I am right than that means that there will be a "analog stick" in the form of a touch sensor for you thumb. If look at the positioning of sensor, it is exactly where the analog stick would most comfortably be. I could elaborate more but I think my point is made...

I will re-post this comment for feedback.

[Government Cheese]

I'm a bit weary if these are actually 'official'. T3.com is the same site that first claimed this slim PS3 was real too: http://www.product-reviews....

[Jaces]

Looks sleek...except for that damn ball. =P

[darthv72]

I want to wear one of those mo-cap suits and I am betting sony probably has one they play with in the back room. Just hope they reconsider the color of the ball on top. All mo-cap stuff I seen uses silver color balls. Pink...not my bag baby.

[volcane]

I think the oval bit might be a button to change the colour of the light in the sphere.

[beardpapa]

I wonder which end of that wand has the vibrating motors. ;-)

[Wrathman]

introducing the ps3 fleshlight add-on

taaaadddaaaaa

oh my it looks exactly like a fleshlight if you pulled the pink bit out.lololol

[GrandTheftZamboni]

Yeah, that would make an excellent neck massager for the ladies. It really only does everything:)

[thesummerofgeorge]

you don't even pretend to be unbiased, you just troll any and every PS3 thread n throw negative fanboy comments with no substance or point around. It's not even genuine, it's just for the sake of beating down anything PS. Are you really that miserable, or are you just trying to get a rise out of people.

[Zydake]

Well let's think out the box maybe it's a sensor where u place ur dum like u place it up your character moves up? ANY1 AGREE D=<

[Cenobia]

I seem to remember from the tech demo that they changed the color on the fly. I think that will probably be a standard feature so the PS3 can differentiate different players (and maybe different hands).

4 players with 4 pink balls would be pretty hard to track (also, I doubt Testicular Cancer Anonymous play the PS3 during their meetings /pun).

[uie4rhig]

i see that sony has created a PS3Dildo! i can imagine the launch title already: "Fun Times For Woman" with on the box written.. "NEW NO MAN NEEDED THANKS TO THE NEW INNOVATIVE PS3 Dildo! WITH REAL ORGASMS!"

seriously tho? who the hell came up with such a dildo like design :/

yes 360 fans, you CAN use this to bash PS3.. only giving you this permission coz you'd do it whether i say yes or no, so might as well make it my good deed!

FYI, PS3 only gamer.. but this is really ridiculous (if you don't believe me, check my achievements (superaktieboy) vs trophies (superaktieboy)) ;)

also everyone saying no analogue stick.. the point is to remove those analogue stick.. sony wants you to buy two of them in order to be able to use two analogue sticks :/

[Press_Agree]

My girlfriend will "enjoy" this toy a lot.

[Sarick]

I don't think this is the limits of the 3rd party control features Sony has planned. MS wants hands free and they much have that area covered. Sony also had the hands free capabilities and they've been working with them since early PS2 generation. The 360's have a lot of cool features but they left out one critical feature that Sony patented.

What advancement did they patent? The ability to use 3rd party toys to act as controllers. This opens up the motion sensitivity on PS3 and has several advantages over a controllerless setup. One of the biggest advantages of MS's has is the ability to discriminate a persons outline through hardware with inferred. This simplifies the software significantly under almost all lighting conditions.

The technology Sony is using will have to work around this problem without the extra hardware but there is a good side to this if they get it working fully. Any toys the gamer wishes to Incorporated into the game can be scanned and used as a controller.

Why does this matter? Well for starters the wand isn't the limit of the motion control system. Some games might not need a wand at all. Those that don't will probably have enough capability to come close to what MS is offering.

Check this link it explains the future of gaming using everyday toys. It appears to utilize the toys, hands and face as a controller. MS and Sony are headed this direction both companies have cards to play. Each have their own protected patents. They might cut a deal to trade rights to utilize each others patents and create an experience that benefits both console makers.

Take a look.

[CZert]

no analog stick on it?!!! It means we cant play FPS with it. No use for me and many others then. It's "back to drawing board" from me, Sony !!!

[krisq]

...where is the wrist band?? Also, this big button can be an optical joystick.

[NickIni]

It looks like a dildo.

[anh_duong]

so now not only does the ps3 have motion control but also has the ability to entertain the missus when you are away..

sony taking it only does everything to another level..

[The Happy Baby]

this should spice up the bedroom activities, nicely. :)
Hope it vibrates, sure looks like it should.

No analog, but the big black button in the middle, looks like it could be some sort of touchpad/sensor, kind like the one they have on the new blackberrys(they got rid of their trackball).

[Ateanboy]

like this concept art A LOT. It looks nice and slick.

[mr mintleaf]

After all motion controls are supposed to replace analog. BUT, for a FPS game I'd like to be able to move my feet with an analog stick, like on the Wii..

I think this will be a direct copy of the Wii, but with way better and accurate sensitivity and 3d motion, like in the on stage demo a few months back..

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

Rendering are good but their concept redesign is not very good.

Button placements are not bad (wtf is middle button? start? lol - should be X)

the whole stick and ball thing thing is separated into... a stick and a ball... could have been more creative by combining the two into something more whole (yes the stick and ball method may be essential to the function but still can be rethought.)

I give it a C+

[N4g_null]

Wow I know the demo was bad looking yet Sony really wants the rape the competition with a four inch e penis huh? Man these guys are making fouls of them selves stick to dual shock.

Yet these are only renders yet just imagine if Sony would have left the controller looking like a bat man weapon. it was cool for batman but not for games. I'm trying to see if Sony has ever made any thing ergo friendly.

Hell thanks to rrod xboxs Sony has a never ending fanbase of hate but wow guys at least ms does have to deal with dildo jokes. Why oh why does Sony have to be the clown of this industry? They did not have this problem with tvs. I'm sure people over at ms are poling their azzes off right now.

Sony better fix this because we all know they don't know how to make a wii sports. They've had since the ps2 to figure that out yet no luck yet.

[Blaze929]

So no analog stick huh?

[Hellsvacancy]

I thought it had 2 wands, kinda assumed the other wand would hav the analog stick - guess not

[RememberThe357]

I think they're going for one wand, kind of lame if you ask me. But wouldn't an analog stick defeat the purpose of the motion control?

[Why o why]

'We reckon the real thing probably won't see the light of day until the E3 games expo in June next year, but until then you can fill your boots with our concept pictures of the PS3 motion controller by clicking the link below.'

huh;)

[sikbeta]

Imagine Playing a FPS with the Dildo, you waggle-move left to right to point and then, how you move back and forth?

If it doesn't have an Stick, it only have one use, for playing shovelware games like:

http://www.covershut.com/co...
http://img11.nnm.ru/0/8/a/c...
http://www.oeoe.tw/UploadFi...

[DaTruth]

'We reckon the real thing probably won't see the light of day until the E3 games expo in June next year, but until then you can fill your boots with our concept pictures of the PS3 motion controller by clicking the link below.'

Wasn't this suppose to release early 2010! I'm pretty sure they're not launching with Natal!

Better have an analogue stick, that is all I'm saying.

PS3 owners won't accept this without an analogue stick, yet 360 owners/fanboys will accept theirs with no means of control whatsoever! You guys bring new meaning to the term fanboys!

[krouse93]

These are fake artist renders read the story just mock ups this is not official at all.

[Cenobia]

The PS Wand without analogue sticks would be plagued by the same problems that Natal will inevitably have, no movement in 3d space. Without that, it is basically just a novelty to use in casual games.

I'm really hoping they add analogue sticks, or they'll have to win me over with some really cool innovations.

[mastiffchild]

Is everyone forgetting RE5 veing played at TGS with Sony's wand? There was no wand with a built in analogue stick at all and you couldn't control 3D movement with an extra one either-no. They m,ade the guy uise a DS3's analogue but in one hand which is uncomfy for adults, impossible for kids and looks cheap as all hell. If they don't come out with a better analogue solution than what's been shown it's totally dead in the water-why would you use a DS3 AND a wand when you could JUST use the DS3?

I don't like to imagine Sony are stupidenough to go with the DS3 as their lonf term/launch answer but the nearer launch comes without anything like a Wii nunchuck being shown the more worried I get that this is easily the biggest fil in Sony's gaming history. There's seriously no chance for it without an analogue solution. It isn't Natal where they want to find full body copntrol under the aim of removing all controllers but more an accuracy improbement over what Wii offers and as a result they need a better way to move around the gameworlds while the accuracy of the wand can shine and right now they haven't shown anything which peple would go for, imo, and they need something desperately. And NOT using the DS3 in one hand as noone will adopt something so pikey.

I know these are no official picyures and totally useless but if Sony don't come up with acheap, proper analogue solution they might as well quit the MS thing as it stands right now as it's so doomed it's untrue-without even seeing whether Natal works or not.

[Sonyslave3]

look good

[borgome]

It looks like a sex toy of some sort if you ask me.

[kingjoker34]

looks ok, but i hope games will not look kiddy like the wii, and the motion controlly games will actually be GOOD games, not like time passers.

[stb]

calling this ´´the c´ockmote....LOOOOOOOOLLL

[Pandamobile]

Kinda looks like an ergonomic Wii-mote with a pom pom on it. Cool :P

[JOLLY1]

I used to work at a hospital and I tell you...the pink ball on top would be a perfect stopper so some out patients didn't have to go to surgery to get it taken out.

[kaveti6616]

It looks nice. Maybe Bioware will look at this and get inspired to make Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 3.

[Aquarius]

Maybe the long button in the middle is not a button after all but its more like how a computer's mouse functions with that trapped ball underneath which rolls over in 3D?

Oh my god, enough with the dildo jokes already you dirty-minded people.

-He who laughs last, laughs loudest-

^^
That will be me when I'm laughing at Project HYPTAL's price and advertisements.

[gokuss122002]

I could have saved myself a post, for you have already posted exactly what I was thinking when I looked at the pics.

This fits the motion controller much better than an analog stick. Hopefully it will be better (or at least as good) in practical use.

PS3 only does everything. If the Pope (anti-Christ) didn't already control the entire world, Sony would have done it with the PS3. LOL

[Aquarius]

Well yeah, I've read other comments and they seemed to have picked up on the same thing.

At the end of the day two heads are better than one.
Thanks for your reply.

I hope SONY gives us a status update on this in January. I'm really want to see the finished design of it as I was looking forward to this after I saw that bow and arrow demonstration at E3.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
(7:30-9:39)

oh, it seems I need to remind certain people in here. Microsoft's E3 was SHLT.
NO ONE CLAPPED.
The only one who was clapping was the host.

[elcompa425]

"Wots it supposed 2 look like a Christmas tree?" HAHA..SO FUNny especially when you're telling it to bungie(cuz im sure thats what he'd want it to be).

On Topic: I probably will get these, just for kicks and giggles.

Cheers

[chrisulloa]

LOL

[Anorexorcist]

Laughing at that idiot in the mirror again?

Yeah I don't blame you, but I personally think he's more annoying than funny.

Sir-Ken lol "Project-Anal", throw in Milo and u gotta party

And wots wid your bubbles man? ill Bubble u up boss

[yoghurt]

You do all realise that this is just 'concept' images that T3 have come up with? not REAL images?

[elemnop]

I found a similar object in my sister's drawer one time.

[dirthurts]

I might pick up one for my gf.
It does vibrate right?

[dbieon12]

hahaha nice

[presto717]

.

[Mista T]

I hope the ball on the top is a different color

[RememberThe357]

It could be blue if you want.

[evrfighter]

I'm sure many ps fans would prefer pink...

or maybe black =\

[TheBand1t]

Real men prefer hot pink.

[cjflora]

I want to make a shirt that says "Tough enough to wear pink, man enough not to."

[Sevir04]

i for one dont think concept looks cool, it looks like a dildo and from what sony has shown the actual thing looks thicker than this. T3 did their own mock up...

Still I'm not so sure about this, and Natal, because i'm positive we are gonna get games that arent built around them from the ground up, and they'll have tacked on controlls and plus we'll have plenty of wii fest mini games being ported in HD to both the PS3 and the 360, the last thing i was is a raving rabbids game on the PS3/360 with waggle controls.

I'll wait and see but i wont be rushing out to support this, I just had a feeling that the market was gonna get like this, thanks to the Wii's success Sony and MS are going the following Me route, I just hope they make it so that the games released for them have well thought out intuitive controls... in addition. For this add on to be anything successful, they better launch this as a bundle with new PS3's next spring with some great marketing, and they need to include the PSeye in that bundle as well.

[skip2mylou]

can i haz strawberry blonde? :P

[xtremeimport]

lol.
def looks pretty funny, but kinda cool.
im interested to see it with different colours(if this is infact the final design)

also, i hope that doesnt have a rumble in it..yeah, you know where im going with this.

[DarkBlood]

yeah guys u'll want to put keep this away from your girlfreind or wife lol :p

[kewlkat007]

....I can see it already

Those weird Japanese games should be a interesting

[tunaks1]

rumble!
lol

[TheBand1t]

No, but it allows me to finally play games in 4D.

[tunaks1]

really you've used it?
I just saw a pig fly, there you READ me saying it.
I filmed it, there you have a VIDEO that shows a pig

now can I prove to you that i really saw a pig fly
no
before having an epiphany of how it allows you to play your games, maybe you should try it and then tell us about your experience.

[TheBand1t]

Look up the definition of "Facetious" in the dictionary. Come back to be when you have.

Maybe you should look before you leap.

[CryWolf]

But it still looks like a dildo but at lease its a lot better then Microshit Natal.

[The real killer]

If you are a men, what do you know about dildo? Girls need dildos not men, Think before you typ like this ;)

[CryWolf]

I alway do think before i type anything but sometimes i just half to tell the truth.

[Mr Logic]

You should think before you type. ADULTS male and female will know what a dildo looks like. Knowing what one looks like has nothing to do with using one.

[JOLLY1]

You say that the pink wand looks a little like a dild0 and the ps3 fans get all butt hurt.

*EDIT* awwww :( the disagreeing people didn't see the humor in my post. How sad!

[stuna1]

The big button in the center is suppose to act like a trackball similar to a computer mouse, but it's pressure sensitive.

[Hidden Star]

dil.....

Looks pretty good =]

[The real killer]

"You should think before you type. ADULTS male and female will know what a dildo looks like. Knowing what one looks like has nothing to do with using one"

I know, but why talk men about dildo? it's a women toy not for us ;)
We have a another toy :)

So, i'm think before what i type. I talk never about a dildo because i'm a men not a women :) i understand that some kids talks about dildo's but adult men never talks about it, we talk about women.

[Clarence Callahan]

learn to spell, dude

[The real killer]

Two kids are disagree with me.

[Clarence Callahan]

yeah, that's because you are the real kid around here, pretending to be an adult, because 1, you talk like a kid, and 2, you spell like a kid.
it's not that we can't stand kids, because that's not true, but it's very annoying if there are kids wanting to be an adult and thus talking like them (on the internet).

[stb]

you really got killed...LOL

dud man can talk about whatever they want, regarding in knowing what they are, dildo or no, that doesnt make you any less of a man...so guess that you are a kid yet there, now is u start talking about gay stuff, then there is a problem lol,...but who emai protecting this sht...grow a litle more killer.

[Bizzah]

"However, in true T3 style, we couldn't help but flex our visionary powers once more to conjure up what we think the 'Gem' could end up looking like."

[Feral Gamer]

More like an eye sore. I don't really think this will catch on much.

[cjflora]

All of you commenting on adding or removing certain things, these images are a concept made by the site that did the story. They have no real evidence to backup the images, so these aren't official. They're clearly basing it on some of the prototypes Sony has shown at demo's. I don't think it will look like this because their R&D dept has already stated that the large ball on the end won't likely be how the final product looks. They were just using it in the prototypes to test the PSEye's ability to pick it up.

[sxpacks]

The best thing I can come up with follows below:

Adding an Analog stick makes way for lazy developers who will do nothing but implement "Shake to do something" and nothing else. Exactly what dual-Shock and the Wii-mote currently do with their motion capabilties.

My guess is that the big button in the middle can be action button.
Press the button and the Eye will capture your movement 1:1, Else you point the Controller in the Direction you want to move.

ps. for those people who think it looks like an adult play toy. Don't know if you're realized, but the actual male anatomy has more than 1 ball. But you wouldn't know that if they haven't dropped yet...BA-ZING!!!

[SlaughterMeister]

You're looking at the wrong end. The ball is the vibrator.

(You know, for the clitoris.)

[BlueRevolvuR]

advertise these controllers similar to the new "It only does everything", except with high class porn stars advertising them.

[mangu116]

I can imaging my grandmather playing the duck game with the dildo lololo go granma is your birthday hu hu

[Man_of_the_year]

Am i the only one that thinks it looks sleek and stylish? Very modern.

Much better than that rectangle of a Wii-mote.

[JJFNIGHTS80]

It looks really cool. I can't wait to see what kind of games their going to make with this. I hope they will show more of it in the next GDC 2010 next year..

[Arnon]

Why... does there have to be a giant ball on the top of it... I mean, I'd rather hold a Wiimote instead of this thing. I cant even imagine what people will tell their friends when they show them this and ask "Wanna play?"

I also find it odd that out of the 2 companies, Sony was the one that went with a basic remote concept. Should have made motion gloves.

[TheBand1t]

Motion gloves these nuts.

http://www.panelsonpages.co...

[Arnon]

Lol... the Power Glove.

[TheBand1t]

I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.

[Arnon]

That thing was crazy. I wish Sony would've gone with a different concept.

[jimbone]

Yea watch the "Angry Video Game Nerds" review of it, Its funny as helI.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Off topic: GT PSP looks better than Forza 3 PROOF! http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Man_of_the_year, YOU'RE A F@G!........Only joking now go to sleep.

[Platinum_k]

I cant wait to test that baby out!
PRJECT Anal is gonna get something shoved up their butts next year!

PLUS, it vibrates!

NOTHING can satisfy you like a GEM =)

PRJECT ANAL = flop
(M$ does NOT have the technology to pull this off)
(fact)

[gameraxis]

You cant possibly call me a fanboy for saying this, just read my past comments...

but without a joystick we're in trouble... HOLDING half of a ps3 controller in your left hand and using the wand in your right is ridiculous and disgusting. they need to rethink this before it hits, because I'm anticipating some hardcore games with this thing and have faith in sony to do it right, but the way its looking now is just plane dumb.

(i love sony and most everything they do people, but this needs to correct itself before launch)

[pippoppow]

As with anything gaming related it all comes down to the games. regardless of how you think it looks it will have 1:1 motion controls which is much better than the competitions. Most likely, since it is an add-on accessory in the middle of a console gen cycle, it will most likely be lightly supported and be used as just another controller option in some games like some shooters. Next gen with a motion controller packed in every system is where motion controls for Sony and MS may take off.

Don't worry MS Fanatics, the 360 will most likely have multi-platform motion control games to play. No need to act so worried.

[the new king 74]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

[ironmonkey]

look alot like wiimote? well wii seems to sell well with its wiimote so sony is going the right direction. natal well will it be as loud as the 360?

[ironmonkey]

dont worry about the concept just worry about the games it would be kool to recreate lair for the ps3 motion tho

[SlaughterMeister]

It still looks like a sex toy.

[E74]

thats what it looks like, and before you go on bashing me about being a bot, i dont have a 360 and only dissing sony because ALL MOTION CONTROL= FAIL

[Stationfan]

Okami anyone?

[jalen247]

Looks like it would be more comfortable to hold than a WiiMote

[horndog]

Sony you fi-analy done it you son of a b!tch!. Finally given up on games and moved on to toys. I tell you this is the brightest idea you have had this gen. This is what your fanbase has been waiting for. Endless hours of fun lighting each other up.

It gets better, Ken Kutaragi insist on putting on a demo for all the other droids. He says that improper use of this toy could lead to severe back problems and should only be used after an experienced professional like himself gives a demo. He is also looking forward to the launch of the EXTENDED edition and insist on doing a demo for that one too.

Very discreet too, droids dont have to pretend like they are looking for something in their back pockets while sitting on a bench. Just pull out insert and sit, just like how ken does it. No more messy fingers either. Brilliant sony. You got yourself a winner for the type of fan base you got. Finally got something right. Enjoy droids

[BYE]

There should be games like Demon's Souls utilizing it.

[exnihilonihilfit]

Uh, it's a MOTION SENSING CONTROLLER that performs PRECISE 1 to 1 representation in fully 3 DIMENSIONAL space, you can't get more ANALOGUE than that. Clearly you people don't even understand the concept of Analogue vs. Digital communication.

[Smkt]

ok... so to keep on moving forward do you run into your TV?

tell me how does "PRECISE 1 to 1 representation in fully 3 DIMENSIONAL space" help me move around a level bigger than my room?

[Droid Control]

like a ladies love machine

[BYE]

Oh look, I found a new Natal gameplay video:

[bjornbear]

damn people.

[ZeroYui]

It looks like uh.... D****.

[Demon5500]

What we have here folks is the biggest fail in the industry, They need to redesign the ball, or take it off, and give us an analog thumb control or this is going to be hard to play FPS or any real 3d games :(

[UltimateSin]

Nice dildo

[Lazard]

Looks like a sex toy, sounds like a sex toy. And yet, the Sony CEO swears that this will beat Natal and the Wii. Oh well, maybe it shoots lazer beamz!

[matey]

looks rubbish and its rounded that wont be good for accessories ect plus a pink condom on the end it looks rubbish im looking at my black wiimote and no more heros 2,zelda wii,MH3 ect not interested in this although its a better idea than natal basically your shape/eye toy

[strickers]

Analog stick??Did none of you see Pad in one hand,stick in other for RE5.The PS3 pad has analog sticks.If they are smart they will introduce a turn the pad and use analog stick option(using right stick/pad held across the middle.Would work well,Ive just tried it).That looks like it will be better to hold than the angular Wiimote and by all accounts much more accurate.

[strickers]

Forgot to say,despite my positive comments(playing devils advocate)I couldn't care less about motion pads.I hate the Wii,Natal looks like crap and the only reason I have Wii,will have Sphere/Gem is because my 5 year old did/will want it.Standard pad either Dualshock or 360 for me please.

[hamoor]

i feel dirty when i see this pics
sorry but its look like a .......

[multipayer]

STICK?

As in something to push a hoop with...

[bozebo]

oh dear
oh dear

This thing is goin to suck so much ... *sigh* why sony why

[pcz]

It looks like some odd sex toy for women. But most importantly, a lot of you so called hardcore gamers mocked the wii, and now you have to eat humble pie because (once again) sony are walking in nintendo's footsteps.

nice.i'm gonna be moving throw scum infested building with this blasting my foes away! the having crazy light saber battles or fencing matches lol.this is gonna be nuts

These pictures are not released by Sony so I wouldn't believe them. If they are the real pictures then Sony is now into selling sex toys.

Whats with all the dildo jokes? Why is everyone so hell bent on hating the ball? The ball serves a purpose for camera interaction.

Bunch of close minded gamers.... I don't personally like motion control, but some games it is fun.

[MaximusPrime]

looks good. of course this is just an artist concept.
analog stick would be a nice addition.

i'll look forward to sony's images. those images provided by T3 are not sony's

Since PS3 is gaining more owners, it looks like this PS3 Gem/Sphere or whatever they will call it, will be a success. Natel will definitely failed. Nobody want to use their body to control the game. They need physical object to control.

this NEEDS an analog stick or it will fail

[LinuxGuru]

Such a phallic device, lol

[tiamat5]

Could you all grow up and stop the sex toy/dildo jokes.It wasn't funny when the first idiot said it and still isn't funny to this day

[LinuxGuru]

Well, considering that the average male thinks about sex every 7 seconds, what you're asking is absolutely impossible.

[stuna1]

Is because it's bigger than their johnsons'.

[N4BmpS]

It would be cool if the one section of the controller in between the 4 buttons was the analog stick.

For the 9000th time, the picture is a guess by the website. Read before you post.
