Every year big gaming companies get together to share what they have in store for their consumers and from what I've seen for the Playstation 3 so far, I can't wait!

I enjoyed Little Big Planet for the ingenuity of gameplay and now we have Mod Nation Racers which takes this easy-to-build concept to the racing platform for fun and competitive racing.

But other than great games on their way, I'm greatly anticipating the new motion controllers for the Playstation 3.

We know about the XBox 360 Project Natal "You Are The Controller", which is essentially making use of a camera such as the Playstation Eye more than what Sony has done so far, to immerse yourself further into the game. But nevertheless, it isn't anything impressively new.

You can watch the video showcasing the capabilities of the camera, there really isn't much more than what the Eye is doing already.

However, Sony has unveiled their motion controller which is much like the Nintendo Wii's nunchucks, but with increase sensitivity, functionality, and precision.

Here is part 1 and part 2 from Game Trailers.

I loved the concept of the nunchucks and the potential they had and now Sony has amped up the possibilities and capabilities. You can see why I'm excited about this.

Before anyone slags me off as a fanboy for Playstation, must understand that the XBox 360 camera is basically an Eye where Sony has used it for their puzzle games and interactions, Microsoft has done the same but added addition communcation features to it. And I can see the limitations of a camera alone also, which is why having the controllers is a huge advantage.
