Sony has revealed its answer to Nintendo Wii at the Game Developers Conference, San Francisco.  The Sony Move controller looks similar to the Nintendo Wii controller, it just has a colored ball at the top.

Gamers at the Conference didn’t seem that excited by the Sony Move, it doesn’t seem any better than Nintendo Wii. It seems like Sony are just trying to play catchup, as PlayStation 3 sales lag Nintendo Wii.  There doesn’t seem to have been a real leap in motion gaming technology by Sony.  Perhaps we will have to wait for Microsoft Xbox to do this.

Sony Move Controller - PlayStation

Nintendo Wii’s sales are by far the market leader with 67.5 million units sold, Microsoft Xbox 39m and Sony PlayStation with 33m units sold. You can’t blame Nintendo’s competitors for wanting some of the market share and getting in on the motion gaming action, by developing there own motion controller.

Apparently Microsoft are developing a controller free system known as Natal, later this year.

Sony have timed the release of new Move games that use the new controller.
