Sony PS3 to get Nintendo Wii Balance Board type device

When it comes to games consoles that require a peripheral it is the Nintendo Wii that is king, this is since the launch of the Balance Board. However; other consoles have had great success with using peripherals. Games which have utilized this are Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Both these titles have seen great success, so just think how future titles will be perceived by the public if more was launched.

The world of gaming is full of rumours the latest being that, the Sony PS3, Xbox 360 and PC are to get some sort of motion sensing board. The board much like the Wii Balance Board will be used for Activision’s upcoming title Tony Hawk’s Adrenaline.

The game is still in its development stage but if the rumour were true, then it would be a great addition to the Tony Hawks game. If Sony did introduce a motion sensing board, then this will open the floodgates for a great number of titles, it could also help to increase the sales of the ever popular PS3.

Activision has noticed that there have been many rumours over the net about a new motion sensing board, and they feel that they need to respond to the rumours. They have said that they wish to dampen speculation; the strange thing is they have refused to confirm or deny the claims. Activision has told Eurogamer that “We regularly test all kinds of game concepts and pricing strategies using market research.” They also added “All of which are options whose outcomes are yet to be determined.”

Oh well looks like we are all still in the dark a bit, lets just watch this space.
