  • The Sony motion-sensing system is still in the deveopment stage and won't be available until the spring of 2010. The controller has a real one-to-one relationship between the person wielding it and what is seen on-screen. And it also offers tension-based control, such as pulling back the string on a bow to shoot an arrow.
