A source trying to remain anonymous reveals, in a VG247 report, that Sony’s motion controller could be named Arc. Officially known as the Motion Controller, the system was also believed to be named Gem, according to EA CEO John Riccittiello. Anyway, it will be launched later this year, a possible March date being claimed by Kaz Hirai, at least in what concerns the Japanese market.
The Motion Controller from Sony uses a wand-like pad as well as the well known PlayStation buttons and a trigger. It has the same force feedback technology as the current DualShock 3 controller and will be powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The PS Eye will track the orb to estimate user’s movements and distance as well. The wand’s angle and movement will be determines by an accelerometer and a gyroscope.
Microsoft is also working on a version of full body controller that it calls Project Natal and would be due for the holidays.
