Sony’s jumping on the motion control bandwagon, just like everyone else.

Time for Alon to complain, right? Actually, Sony has a tried and true history of showing truly awesome stuff at the big shows. This year was no exception. They may have stolen the motion control idea, but holy damn did they do it right… In R & D, anyway.

That’s the kicker. They always show AMAZING shit from R & D, but when the resultant product finally hits the shelves, it’s never as good as it the original vision. So I’m torn. The industry is ready for true, 1:1 motion control (which they both claimed and clearly demonstrated), and the technology is surely cheap enough that it could become a reality to consumers. Hell, even the software developers have had enough time with the Wii to come up with some really good ideas.

This thing could completely rock your casbah. Unfortunately, history predicts that it won’t, but boy am I hopeful.
