The overall impression of this accessory will remind gamers of the Wii remote and nunchuck combo. It will also allow developers to work with similar gaming concepts forged by the Wii and apply them to the superior hardware capabilities of the PS3.

The PS3 Arc was rumored to be the official name of the motion controller but was not confirmed or denied by Sony. PS3 Arc’s website carries a tagline of “Arc You Ready?” Interestingly enough this seems to be a throwback to the original PlayStation slogan that was, “You Are Not Ready.”

Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai explained the reason for this delay is so that the controller can take better advantage of more varied titles that will be released in the Fall. Hirai also said Sony is working closely with third party developers and publishers to create games that take advantage of the motion controller.
