Sony Corporation finally unveiled its answer to the Nintendo Ltd.’s Wii motion game console and controllers, showcasing the PlayStation Move in game demos at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco this week.

The PlayStation Move, which Sony said would be available in third-quarter 2010, will be available as a peripheral for Sony’s PlayStation 3 gaming console. The device is expected to sell at $100, and will include a motion controller, PlayStation Eye sensor, and a motion-controlled game.

Videos posted online show the Move to be a black controller, sized about the same as Nintendo’s Wii Remote motion controller, with a lighted bulb at one end. Sony said that the PlayStation Move would sell with different-colored bulbs.
