"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, " said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "We will continue to work to have a comprehensive portfolio of attractive and innovative games for the Motion Controller, not only from SCE 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."

SCE will vigorously promote the Motion Controller as the de facto controller of the PS3 platform along with the DUALSHOCK? series controller and will deploy various measures to enhance the software title line-up for the Motion Controller, delivering groundbreaking interactive entertainment only possible on the PS3 platform.

(1) Motion Controller is a tentative name.

(2) Users will need to use the PlayStation Eye camera to enjoy the Motion Controller on PS3.

Annoyingly this means they'll probably spend a huge amount of time at E3 demonstrating stupid games.

Where does it mention that it's delayed in that article? All it says is that it will be available Fall 2010, was there a previous release date then? They make no reference to it.

It was originally supposed to be released in spring 2010.

Yeah. They'd been saying Spring 2010 since E3...then suddenly started saying "this year". And now we know why!
