Remember that PS3mote thing we mentioned? Well we think this is more information on that.

According to gamesindustry.biz, Sony Computer Entertainment is working on a new controller for the Playstation 3. This new controller is supposed to feature a break apart aspect to it for example, it will break into two separate units, each of which contains an accelerometer for ‘Wiimote-like’ motion-sensing functionality.

This should open up a new genre for the Playstation 3 and with the Wii being so successful it could be a good move.

“Sony Computer Entertainment will therefore hope that, with the ongoing development of the PlayStation Network, the success of Blu-ray as the de facto next generation standard of video, the gradual roll-out of Home later in the year and the release of additional high definition titles over time, it will be able to overwhelmingly position the PS3 as the best all-round home entertainment unit on the market.”

Maybe we can wait until E3, they could announce something then.
