The Gadget Show presenter Jason Bradbury has claimed that Sony’s PS3 motion controller,
Move, will launch this September.
“another thing I was meaning to say. Sept for Playstation Move!!! I’m sure of it. Can’t say why. Just.. September 2010,? he said on
Twitter, shortly after a
hands-on session earlier this month.
Contacted for comment, a Sony Computer Entertainment rep told us: “SCEE will confirm the launch date for Move in due course, and any dates mentioned at present, are just rumour and speculation.”
If correct, a September launch could see Move releasing a month ahead of Microsoft’s rival offering, Natal, which is
expected to debut in October.
Move was initially scheduled for a spring 2010 launch, but
Sony delayed its release to “fall 2010” so that it could “offer an exciting and varied line-up of software titles”.
SCE Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida
told us in a recent interview that the company will cater equally to mainstream and hardcore tastes with its new motion controller.
