We’ve seen the Xbox Natal system use a camera and general hand gestures and set a vague date of “Holiday 2010″ – and now Sony is not going to stand by and let Microsoft be the only competitor trying to get to the top of the heap in gesture-based gaming. The Sony Playstation Move seems to be a direct copy of the Wii’s control system but has an slightly tighter date of “Fall 2010.” The controller also looks, uhh, interesting.
At this point, isn’t it safe to say this a lack of innovation on the part Sony and Xbox? Or is this acceptance by the bean counters that Nintendo was on to something?

Sit back and watch the latest in gaming news, Inside Gaming, hosted by Dead Pixel. It’s got a good review of Assassin’s Creed 2 – the tidbits about controlling yourself as a baby just after being born and conversations with your mom about vaginas in the presence of Leonardo da Vinci sound kinda crazy. Then there’s Left 4 Dead 2, hot on the trails of the first gory version, so it suffers a bit for being more of the same but sounds like it manages to introduce some new enemies, new weapons, and new locations.
Take your shirt off, settle back into the couch, and get all sweaty with some hot heavyweight fantasy bouts like Tyson vs. Ali… just don’t get your ear bitten off.
Grab the Fight Night 4 demo, available now for download on Xbox Live/ PSN (consoles only, natch).
This has all the ingredients to become highly addictive. You can buy the street that connects with the alley you smoked your first cigarette in. Hell, you can buy the street you live on now. I basically just bought a remote island near where I had blue crabs the other weekend.
