Found these on the net and thought they were fairly legitimate. I think it looks very promising, what do you think?

Sony Sense? Is that the latest name for them? That's probably the most sensible name for a motion controller. It's tonnes better than Natal and Wii Remote. Although the name is pretty irrelevant. And how it looks is pretty irrelevant. It's all down to how well it works. And it looked pretty impressive on the E3 demo, but we'll have to wait to see more of it to judge properly.
Although the name is pretty irrelevant.The name is hugely relevant. The "Nintendo Revolution" would never, ever have reached the non-gaming market. Sony in particular have a history in making sales by name and branding alone; GameBoy, Walkman, PlayStation - Those own a large portion of their success to their name.

There is something just wrong with the third picture. Grasping onto a controller with two bright red balls on the end...I'm not sure I'm man enough to handle that. Hell, I'm feeling insecure just looking at the photo.
Anyway, the sticks are fine with whatever they come up with, but the games and implementation are what will be the deciding factor on the Sony motion controller's success.
" @oldschool said:Exactaly how I feel. If Sony can make these work with games as impressive as the E3 tech demo I'm definantly trading in my 360 and buying a PS3. The Natal stuff doesn't look fun or good to me at all. I'd love to play a Zelda game like in that E3 tech demo with the sword and shield working naturaly, although we won't see Zelda, we could see fantastic new properties from Sony partners using concepts we saw in the demo. A game like Killzone 2 with that 1st-person gun mode would be insane. Imagian if these things had built in recoil, that would be awesome for FPS games." @Gargantuan said:i dont give a fuck about how it looks either.

" where did the analog sticks go? looks fake "the analog sticks are in the middle of the D-pad and the X,O, square, and triangle.
also i prefer the ones they showed at e3 :P
Looks OK, but they need to have real analog sticks instead of those damn nubs like they have on the PSP.

The tech is amazing. So I'm a big fan of the way these things actually work.
They look fine in this mock up. But I'm certain they're going to make the tracking balls less obvious in a final version.
" @Scooper said:Well Natal's "smoke and mirrors" isn't intended to fool us, it's intended to fool the general public who may have an Arcade but don't buy a large amount of games, or for those who don't even have a 360 yet, because it's these people they need to entice into buying, not us." @Akeldama said:im just glad to see people are not fooled by all the smoke and mirrors that is Natal.

Refreshing to hear some positive chatter about both motion control and Sony's demonstration. Truly the tech demo of Sony's motion controller blew me away. I understand why people were taken with Natal, the demonstration of Natal was very impressive, but I think Sony's controller will end up being more "real". Plus Sony's European studios are very creative with this stuff.
It would be nice to see them demo a game at Gamescon. If the thing's meant to be out in the Spring next year, surely they have games ready to be shown by now?
