As reported by News10, Sony Computer Entertainment announced yesterday that its Wii remote-resembling thingamajig will be launched Autumn 2010 – not Spring 2010, as originally announced at last year’s E3 Expo.

When combined with the PlayStation Eye camera, the as of yet unnamed peripheral is designed to accurately interpret natural and intuitive hand movements and replicate them in-game with fluidity and precision. Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO of SCE Inc., gave the following statement about the delay:

‘We have decided to release the Motion Controller in fall 2010 when we will be able to offer an exciting and varied line-up of software titles that will deliver the new entertainment experience to PS3 users [...] We will continue to work to have a comprehensive portfolio of attractive and innovative games for the Motion Controller, not only from [Sony] Worldwide Studios but also from the third party developers and publishers, whom we have been working closely with. We look forward to soon unveiling the exciting software line-up that further expands and defines the PS3 platform as the ultimate entertainment system for the home.’

Naturally, the Japanese will be the first to experience the technological wonders of this clever piece of plastic, then North America, and then Europe. Now, will somebody please name the bloody thing!?
