Sony Rumored to Debut Wiimotelike Controller at E3

This isn't surprising, given how dominant the Nintendo's Wii proved to be in this hardware generation. However, many gaming-geeks continue to lament the move away from plain old button-pressing. What is exciting is the prospect that all three companies may incorporate Johnny Lee-style head-tracking into the next console generation which achieves a convincing 3D illusion on a regular vid-screen, leaving us just a few steps away from true positional 3D. Both the Microsoft and Sony patents incorporate a camera looking at the user, a setup required to achieve positional head-tracking."
