Sony has left us in the lurch for nearly a year. That's about how long it's been since the demo of their motion controller sensor, which actually built up a fair amount of buzz. But we haven't known what to call it. Plus, it looked silly.

It still looks silly, but at least it has a name now: Playstation Move. Here's Sony's description:
Through PlayStation Move system, both fast and subtle motion can be detected, whether the user is swinging a tennis racket, or painting with a brush. With PlayStation Move motion controller, users can provide direct input through action buttons and an analog trigger, while receiving physical feedback from rumble functionality and visual feedback from the sphere's ability to display a variety of different colors. Furthermore, PlayStation Eye camera can capture the player's voice or image, enabling augmented reality experiences.
The Move (above, right) got more than just a name in the latest announcement. It's also getting a nunchuk (above, left). Here's the description of that:
The newly announced PlayStation Move sub-controller is a one-handed controller, developed to further expand the game play options that PlayStation Move games can offer. PlayStation Move sub-controller features a sleek curved design that pairs with the motion controller and comes with an analog stick and directional buttons that allow users to easily control the game when moving characters or choosing a direction.
The Playstation Move will be out this fall. Sony says there are 36 developers on board, with more than 20 games with Move support due out before the end of the year.
