It seems to be the law of technology and gadgets that when a great technology is created, it will only be a short time before it is replicated. Last week Sony announced the launch of its newest video game peripheral, the Playstation Move. It is a motion-sensing device compatible with the Playstation Eye that delivers active gaming for the Playstation 3.
Now this little gadget may look familiar to you, especially if you own a Nintendo Wii. That being said, Sony's console features much more mature and realistic video games which will likely propel the Playstation Move to huge success.
