Sony Motion Controllers Codenamed

Sony's new "Motion Controllers" may have been given a name at the Tokyo Game Show.

Codename: "SPHERE" the name, was heard from two developers in an interview on a game that would support the new peripheral.

"Sega's" producer Yasuhito Baba and Kazunori Yamauchi fom "Polyphony Digital" came up with the name 'Sphere' and it picked up from there.

The game in question was "Gran Turismo".

No official confirmation has been made.

It should be called SIR - Stolen Idea Refined
lol because both Sony and Microsoft have totally ripped off the Wii's motion control and 'casual games' idea but they're both refining the primitive Wii controls. Not that i care.. all the better
