In a "Move" (har har) designed to challenge the Wii's stranglehold on the motion controlled games market, Sony has announced the Playstation Move, their new motion controller. Pictures defy work-appropriate words for this gadget, but the reviews are generally good. Apparently the Move is lighter than the Wiimote and it features a main controller supplemented by a subcontroller, much like the Wiimote with nunchuk feature. There are still some issues to work out, such as a slight lag and the lack of exact mimicry of movements on screen (per engadget, "You're still working through a library of sensed, pre-defined actions instead of a true 1:1 fighting game with simulated physics."). Overall though it looks like Sony has developed a solid product that could provide many additional gaming options to the PS3 and appeal to new demographics.
