There are rumors floating around that a Playstation 3 version of the WII Remote is in development for the PS3.
Some lucky Playstation 3 owners were sent to a facility in California to test a new product in development – the Playstation 3 Remote.
First of all you can connect 4 PS3motes at one time allowing 4 players playing at the same time. When these PS3 owners arrived at the facility the demonstrator was showing games that ranged from tennis to fencing to a paintballing game. The demonstrator also used the PS3mote to play Quake on his laptop.
The PS3mote is incredibly accurate and responsive.
“The biggest concern of the demonstrator was that for these “PS3motes†to work they needed the tripod, which connected to the PS3’s USB port. It also needed to be set up in the middle of your gaming area, much like a “batter standing above home plateâ€. So this may not be in the final version as it seemed they were trying to come up with a more convenient method.”
The group was given a number of designs of the PS3mote and was asked to say which one was the best and most comfortable.
For those that are unsure about this rumor here is a copy and paste from an email that was sent to one of the participants
“Focus groups discussing PLAYSTATION®3 games are being held in your area. If you OWN a PLAYSTATION 3, we invite you to participate in a focus group. If you qualify, you will take part in a discussion lasting approximately two hours.

I guess they had to do it,I mean looks very unprofessional stealing (And I mean stealin’ in you F-ing face)the only advantage nintendo has, but the third parties developers haven’t really figure it out how really explode the mote capabilities, perhaps now we see some really revolutionary games and not only the childish fun nintendo can provide
I mean it was a no brainer.. if you had 2 consoles one of them was wii, you just had to integrate the wiimote to it and it will be eliminted..
it may be a long shot but I dare to predict the same future from Sega 2 the Miyamoto’s Long Time Gamming Indutry.
Just imagine WII games but in Playstation 3 graphics. That would be awesome.
