E3 2009: Xbox 360 and PS3 new motion control

It has been widely reported that Sony and Microsoft are both preparing to unveil their motion sensing controllers at this year’s E3 event, which starts at the beginning of June.

As reported from HipHopGamer, Sony and Microsoft will be ready to showcase their motion sensing devices which they hope will be as successful as the Nintendo Wii.

Engadget told us about the PS3 motion sensing device here, just a few days ago. Well it has now emerged that Microsoft are planning an announcement at E3 too and there have been some ‘rumoured’ details on what we can expect in Microsoft’s device.

Microsoft’s Motion-Sensing device details:

* Full body and hand gesture control of games / characters.

* In fighting games you kick, punch, duck, dive, jump and so forth with your body.

* It also picks up small hand gestures like pinching, grabbing and scrolling.

* There will also be video conferencing and games with video.

* Trivia game over the internet with live images of each person playing. When a question pops up, they can clap to buzz in.

* You can “move objects on your screen” and the other party can see what you’re doing in real time.

* Sensor detects only the person playing, not folks observing on the couch.

Looks like Nintendo have some competition on their hands. Let us know what you think of this.
