It has been brought to my attention that PlayStation Underground held a secret focus group earlier this year. A small group of PS3 owners were sent to a facility in ****** ****, California to test a [COLOR=#0068B5 ! important][COLOR=#0068B5 ! important]new [COLOR=#0068B5 ! important]PlayStation[/color][/color][/color] product in development.

Once inside the testing facility, these PS3 owners were shown a mini-tripod that stood about 12 inches high. and what looked like 4 black PS3 “wiimotes”. Well they were essentially “wiimotes” for the PS3, but didn’t need a “nunchuck” attachment. I will refer to them as “PS3motes” for now on.

You can have up to 4 of these “PS3motes” connected at one time. A demonstrator at this focus group was there showing off the “PS3motes” capabilities, along with some mini-games to play. The mini games ranged from tennis, to fencing, to a “really really cool” paintball game. The demonstrator even used the “PS3mote” to play “Quake” on his laptop.

The “PS3mote” is said to be incredibly responsive and accurate. When the demonstrator crouched while playing the paintball game, the character on screen did as well.

Sounds really cool and maybe something to rival the Wii? It'd be a Wii except with bearable graphics

Sounds good, but to be honest motion sensor stuff doesnt interest me. Bit of a novelty really.

Id rather the PS3 got some more top notch games making the most of the Cell, instead of wasting time venturing into an area thats a money cake for Wii.
