PlayStation Move motion controller includes a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor that together will provide highly-accurate motion tracking. Both fast and subtle motion can be detected, whether the user is swinging a tennis racket, or painting with a brush. Users can provide direct input through action buttons and an analog trigger, while receiving physical feedback from rumble functionality and visual feedback from the sphere’s ability to display a variety of different colors. Furthermore, PlayStation Eye camera can capture the player’s voice or image.

The PlayStation Move sub-controller is a one-handed controller, developed to expand the game play options that PlayStation Move games offer. PlayStation Move sub-controller features an analog stick and directional buttons that allow users to easily control the game when moving characters or choosing a direction. Like all other Wireless Controllers for the PS3 system, it comes with a built in lithium-ion rechargeable battery as well as Bluetooth technology.

The PlayStation Move controllers has been well received within the industry with 36 third party developers and publishers signing on to support the PlayStation Move platform. In fiscal year 2010, SCE Worldwide Studios will also release more than 20 games that are either dedicated to or supported with the PlayStation Move platform.
