At 2009's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Sony, like Microsoft, announced their own take on motion sensing technology similar to what's currently available on the Nintendo Wii. At the Expo, an optimistic Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai set the device's tentative launch window to be somewhere around Spring 2010 -- turns out Playstation 3 gamers will have to wait a little bit longer. According to an official statement released by Sony on January 19th, the device should be ready for a fall 2010 launch "in Japan, Asian regions and countries, North America and Europe/PAL territories."
Unlike Microsoft's Natal, Sony's yet to be named motion-sensing device is not completely hands-free. The current prototype of the controller looks "like a wand with a color-changing ball on top." The device works in conjunction with the Playstation Eye, and is said to be "sub-millimeter precise" -- perfect for shooters or simulation games where precision is a must. Sony has not yet released any estimates regarding the controller's pricing.
