Microsoft and Sony’s competitors to the Wii remote will now be going head to head at the end of the year after the news today that Sony have delayed the release of their motion controller from March to Autumn.
The device, which is rumoured to be called ‘Arc’, has been delayed so that there will be more games available at launch. Hopefully they will also work out a better way to use the controller with more traditional titles. The Resident Evil demonstration with a Dual Shock in one hand and an Arc in the other looked fiddly and uncomfortable for long playthroughs.
The original March release looked like a good head start on Natal for Xbox 360. Microsoft’s nifty camera tracks full body motions, allowing players to perform actions without the use of a controller.
You can see videos of both devices in action below.
Will any of these devices succeed or can nothing beat the force of the Wii? Do you want to play games like this, or would you prefer to relax on the sofa with a controller?
