This is the Sony PS3 GunCon 3 controller that is reported to function just like a Nintendo Wii Wiimote or at least have similar abilities.
Many PlayStation 3 gamers will be looking forward to getting their hands on one of these GunCon 3 controllers that relies on a pair of markers you put on top of your TV, they are then detected by a camera in the muzzle of the gun.
The controller also has two analog sticks and six buttons, not sure if that could match the SIXAXIS though.
We have no official word on a North American release date but it is rumored to be releasing in Japan by end of 2007 with the Gun and game Time Crisis 4.

The smart people have always been saying give the ps3 like 2 to 3 yrs time before it’ll shine, which is true, the developers hardly tapping into the ps3’s full potential right now since its “harder” to develop for. But then the next day you see 360/nintendo fanboys saying the ps3 falling behind, gonna fail, etc etc, probably 70% of those wii owners bought the wii because ps3 was too expensive, which means when the price comes down, in a few yrs time as well ‘coincidentally’ with the potential tapped in mostly, and more efficient price, they will all buy the ps3, and the 360 people will see how their console compares to the ps3 and will sell the 360 to buy the ps3. hahahaha ok the last bit was biased i admit, just give the ps3 some time.
Bah! Instead of just saying all these 5hits about which system being better than the other and wasting your time, why don’t you just become a game programmer or a designer and make a great game for your favourite platform to prove your point? Please, for the sake of those who are neutral, we had enough of your constant annoyance!
Yo, most nintendo Fanboys are true gamers at heart, they love their games and the past. Im gulity of the same, when the ps2 came out and kept saying that grfx werent important and gameplay and the nintendo’s libary of games would defeat the playstation. I was wrong on part, letting my pride of the love of Nintendo got the best of me. I still sa that Nintendo was the shit with the N64 and well the Gamecube had a few, but Nintendo fanboys love gaming. Sony love power and technology along with innovation as Nintendo.
Im not sayin fanboys are good, but it isnt so bad to love your console with great admiration. I want to get the Wii for Zelda and Mario, just because their are one of my all time favorite games. The Wii has a great future, or at least thats what I would love to think, and Sony’s Ps3 will become ruler once more and that I can assure.
I have nothing against the 360, but I just dont like their system, nor their games as much. I love their online though and the movie rentals, well we all know that Microsoft has almost perfect online to the core, I hope Sony does a even greater job with home.
So, Yo let the Nintendo fanboys rave and be joyous because in a few months maybe a year or two, the wii will die-down and Sony will stay there along side with Microsoft’s new console because the 360 isnt bulit for the long-term like the Ps3.
I dont want to sound like a Sony Fanboy, but i know that Sony will be victorious.
I’m an XBOX fan boy but I grew up with Nendinto and Sega. What’s funny is that I don’t remember having battles like this about different systems. Maybe because the Internet never existed. I just played. Now I have played the Wii and even though the Wii is selling right now at a amazing rate. I don’t believe it will come out on top. In fact I think PS3 will do better in time but untimately the XBOX RULES. The Wii is intresting and Inovative but that is just it. Real games are played with real controllers. It feels better and responds better and the Gun that Sony come up with is a very good Idea. I’m actually happy to see that Sony is being the leader in something even though it is an old Idea. I personally would prefer if it came with a cord instead of a sensor over your TV. Remember Duck Hunt. That worked very well. Oh and the reason the Wii will not do good is because the games suck. Or maybe it’s just for kids and I’m too old now.
I don’t know if anyone else did this when they were younger. I was about 6 and my mate also and he had been bought a NES with that robot thing and Duck Hunt with the gun. I remember him sawing off the end of the gun to make a sawn-off shotgun and it acted just like a sawn-off shotgun. You fired the once and the whole screen flashed and every duck would die. Who else did this?
I remember having these conflicts with people, Im 19, so if interested didnt exist then Charles your pretty old. Hahaha. Anyways, I didnt grow up on internet, but I remember having Battles in school about which system was better, which had better games and graphics, but it wasnt what it is today because at the end of day we all went over eachothers house to playvideogames.
Thats what its all about. Playing videogames!
