it would be nice in games where where the minute details of hand position really matter.Stuff like golf, tennis, shooting free throws in basketball, etc.


Soooo... Wii sports?


Yeah, actually. except a LOT more accurate.

Well the Tennis and sometimes the boxing aren' t very accurate but the baseball, golf and bowling are spot on.

I guess " accurate" wasn' t the word I was looking for. " More detailed" is more to the point.
This thing detects the position of your individual fingers.

For example, you could throw a curveball pitch by actually positioning your fingers the way you would on a real baseball.

Lets have a good look at this.

For 3 generations of console sony has pretty much use the same controller plus some minor upgrades. But basically the ps1, ps2 and ps3 use the same controller. All of the sudden there patenting there own motion tech, an eyetoy Wii copy, and now this. Hmm. Interesting after 10+ years of the same controller (same design), once the Wii comes out sony is jumping on new controller ideas left right and centre. What does that tell you? IMO it seems sony think that Nintendos has got something right with there Wii concept and sony are scrambling to patent new technologies for there next console to ' one up them' next time.

Mastachefbkw,
I think the powerglove was made by Matel, not Nintendo so don' t think they can patent it.
