Peter Moore on MS and Sony Motion Plans
21. April 2009
EA Sports president Peter Moore thinks Sony and Microsoft are not planning to simply replicate Nintendo Wii-style motion control, but instead go one step further.
“I think that, knowing Microsoft in particular obviously, that they are constantly thinking three to five years ahead of where consumer behaviour is going to be, how do people want to interact with their games, and are probably thinking about, not how do we replicate motion control, but how do we go one step further?” the former Xbox executive told GameTrailers.
“So, to your point, I think they’re doing that and I think Sony probably the same.”
Microsoft has been heavily linked to a potential acquisition of 3DV Systems, a motion-detection interface company, while current PS3 controllers already feature basic motion control capabilities.
