SAN FRANCISCO: Sony on Wednesday unveiled a hotly anticipated motion-sensing controller that it hopes will fuel new interest in its PlayStation 3 videogame consoles.
PlayStation Move wands will hit the market in time for the year-end holiday shopping season and aim to tap into a zest for motion-sensing controls that made Nintendo Wii consoles marketplace superstars.
Sony Computer Entertainment America took the wraps off Move and a set of games geared for the controllers at a private event held near a Game Developers Conference taking place here this week.
"We like to think this is the next generation of motion gaming," said PlayStation Network senior vice president of marketing Peter Dille.
"Nintendo has done a great job of introducing motion gaming to the masses. We think the migration path for the Wii household to the PS3 household is pretty natural."
Sony did not disclose exact pricing details, but said it would offer a Move controller bundled with a videogame and an Eye Toy camera that synchs to PS3 consoles for less than 100 dollars.
