PlayStation Motion Controller Officially Named; Detailed
Since it’s debut at E3 2009, the PS3 motion controller has been known by the boring working title ‘Motion Controller’. Just a few weeks ago it rumored to be named ‘Arc’, a trademark and a domain name registration backed up those claims. However, a recent finding of a trademark for the name “Move” threw us for a curveball. Finally all the speculation can end, as the real name for the PS3 motion controller has officially been revealed.
Tonight during Sony’s GDC press conference, the PS3 motion controller has been detailed. Among the new information was a confirmation of the name Move. It will launch with 20 games, and support from 36 publishers.
More details are coming in, we’ll update you further when all information has been revealed.
Here are a list of games debuted tonight:
- Sports Champions
- MoveParty
- Motion Fighters
Here are the full details known so far:
- Will be sold as a starter kit that comes with a game, controller, and PlayStation Eye for under $100
- Will also be sold bundled with the PlayStation 3
- Nunchuck confirmed, call PlayStation Move Sub-controller
Below are some pics of the games available for the upcoming controller:

GDC FTW!!!!
Can’t wait to see the games
Hmm $100. I may have to save up some coins in a jar till then. I’m serious, last month I took a jar and it had almost $90.
SOCOM 4!!!
It looked a little laggy to me…
I’m confused about the sub-controller. For the archery, they were using two of the main controllers. So, will I need two of the real controllers, just for myself, for some games? Could a second main controller be used instead of the sub-controller for other games that require both?
@ Nobri – I agree, but they claimed the lag would be the same as with the DS3, 1 frame. Maybe the lag was just due to these games being in the alpha stage still.
Wasn’t very impressed with the controller. Motion Fighters was trying to be hardcore, but wasn’t. The only thing that slightly interested me was Socom 4 being motion controller. If Capcom will just port all their Wii Resident Evil titles over then i’ll be fine with it.
there better be a variety of bundles that just have the game and one or two controllers cuz I already have the Eye (as of right now it is collecting dust in a corner) I would gladly pay $60 – 70 just for the game and controller given that a DualShock 3 is still $55. These damn things better not have a $55 price tag individually…Overall I am very excited to get this in my hands!

Damn! that hit fast!
I’m excited too. I don’t have an Eye so getting the bundle with a Game, Eye, and Move will actually be cheaper for me.

Awesome, i can’t wait for this. Sony are finally going to bring REAL motion control to the gamers, awesomeness.
Microsoft may as well go ahead and cancel Project Nothing right now, it’s pretty much guaranteed to flop. I mean, you don’t have anything to hold, so it’s like you’re PRETENDING to play a game? LOL, that’s just stupid. Also, because you have to perform the actions yourself for them to show up on screen, what happens when you’re playing Street Fighter and you want to hit a Flying – Spinning – Backbreaking – Dragon – Triple – Kick? LOL…….good luck performing that one in front of the cameras. Microsoft are going to take your money for a crappy product and cause you severe injuries in the process. MOVE over, Nintendo, Sony have the real motion control now.
