In the epic battle of motion-sensor gaming, [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-leonardo) has finally stepped up to the plate. With the Wii having continued success and [Xbox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gyro-controller)’s Project Natal getting more attention then Megan Fox, it’s about time that the we get a chance to experience a [PS3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-n5) motion controller.

The PS3 motion controller is still being perfected with different features that include colour changing for movement feedback and the standard (but always fun) rumble. it is designed and expected to track “the natural and intuitive movement” of any player and mimic that in the game.

The PS3 motion controller will be ready to burst onto the scene some time in the second quarter of 2010!
