Gem and Arc officially dropped as Sony renames its motion controller to PlayStation Move and adds a sub-controller...
After months of alleged names, Sony today confirmed an Autumn worldwide release for what it has officially named as the PlayStation Move motion controller.
The device will be joined with the PlayStation Move sub-controller, which works in conjunction with the PlayStation Move and PS Eye to provide intuitive navigation of in-game characters and objects.
The motion controller promises "unmatched accuracy" through advanced motion sensors, including a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor(!) - along with the colour-changing sphere that is tracked by the PS Eye. The combination caters to both fast and subtle motion, providing a host of input mechanisms, an analogue trigger, along with physical feedback from the rumble functionality. The PS eye can also capture the player's voice and image, enabling augmented-reality experiences.
The sub-controller, announced at GDC, is a one handed controller that provides additional options via an analogue stick and directional buttons. The sub controller features a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery and works wirelessly. Sony confirmed that a SixAxis or DualShock can also be used in place of the sub-controller.
Sony confirmed that 36 publishers and developers have signed on to support the device, a full list cab be found below. During the fiscal year 2010 (ended March 31st 2011), Sony has pledged that more than 20 dedicated titles will be released.

@ Robert Young: Try Sony and Microsoft's actual financial reports. They are the only reliable source for worldwide console sales/shipments.

My previous blog of 360 lead over PS3 is not "guess estimate". Those numbers were taken from a reputable website that unfortunately, this website prohibited me from quoting. This website is so reputable that companies use their numbers for their own studies; videochartz......

Well it is August 2011 now, PS3 fanboys. Where is the lead of PS3 "overtaking" the 360 by January 2011? Yeah, the PS3 sales are inching closer to the 360 but, as of Aug 2011, it is still that - "inching closer". As of August 2011, the worldwide lead of 360 over PS3 is 3.4 million. The U.S. lead of 360 over PS3 is 12.282 million. Also, here in the U.S., as of Dec 2008, the 360 lead was 7.98 mil. As of Dec 2009, the 360 lead was 8.64 mil. As of Dec 2010, the 360 lead was 11.34 mil. And that brings us to Aug. 2011. So, don't predict stuff that will fall flat on your faces, LOL ;-)..........

well the welcome back pack finally arrived yesterday and what a mess it was, i guess sony thought it was a good idea to release it in all regions rather than america first moving roung the globe in a way that would not hinder people from getting the free content or causing a lot of confusion when people saw the "get now" link vanish and had to look for guides as to get their free content.
one thing i didnt know about the welcome back pack was the inclusion of 3 FREE full HD movie rentals, if you didnt know about it look on the XMB in the orange box (under account management) and you should find it though i think it expires on the 5th (sunday,tomorrow) so get them while you can.
