Rumor has it that Sony's been developing their own motion sensing remote for the PlayStation 3. According to one of Kombo's sources who "has a superb track record for accuracy," the remote is already finished and Sony's looking for publishers to support it in their games.

Gametrak Freedom. I don't know about you, but I think Wiimote sounds catchier. Gametrak Freedom is the name of the new motion-sensing controller for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. So what does it look like? Take a guess and click on the link below.

And a big thanks to ISOHaven for the tip!

Several months ago, the In2Games company let everybody in on a project they had under works, dubbed the Gametrak Fusion. This interesting gadget was advertised as a multi-platform motion-sensing game controller that, as the developer claimed, would allow once-exclusive Wii games to be brought to competitors like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

In case the guys have been wondering what's been going down at In2Games lately, we've just received word via press wire that In2Games had just received a hefty £ 7.4m (US$ 14.6m)  investment bid from the Ingenious Media Active Capital Ltd. (IMAC) investment company.

What this means gaming-wise is that thanks to IMAC's support, In2Games can now mobilize its plans to release the Gametrak Fusion controller for the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The company initially plans to sell the controller alongside several of their mini-games for Xbox 360 and PS3, with other games expected to come further along via third-party developers. As In2Games CEO Elliott Myers commented on his company's plans

Retailers, games developers, financial institutions and press – every single person we’ve shown it to has been excited by its potential. This investment from Ingenious Media Active Capital Group will enable us to support the technology with an ambitious launch, bringing together titles from In2Games and our development partners as well as a wide variety of titles from third party publishers.

Stay posted in case In2Games releases more details on the Gametrak Fusion controller, and its complementing games.

Motion-sensing technology for all gaming systems might be possible as a wireless motion sensor system – codenamed Fusion – is now in development. This means that Wiimote-like controllers/peripherals will be accessible to all you [insert console here]-fanboys out there.

Fusion is being developed by the people responsible for the Gametrak controller, In2Games, and is set to be available around the third quarter of 2007. The developers claim that what sets their system apart from existing controllers is its extended capabilities. For example, if you apply the technology to a peripheral for a Tennis game it can not only track the player's swings and motions, but also where they are on court, the angle of the "racket" as it hits the ball, and the precise arc of the swing.

What's really interesting about this plug-and-play system is that it's capable of emulating any other motion-based controller. This will allow games designed specifically for the Wii to be brought to any other format. Wii-style games on the Xbox 360? On the PS3? A nice thought isn't it?

The developers claim that the Fusion system does not rely upon the gamer pointing a controller at the screen, and that their system does not restrict the gamer to limited movements. They say that it combines patent-pending ultrasonic and RF technologies with 3-axis accelerometers to record the precise absolute position and orientation in 3D space of almost any wireless accessory. Be that accessory be a golf club, a baseball bat, a tennis racket, or a bowling ball.

Michael French, editor of Develop Magazine had this to say about the Fusion prototype that he's seen: "This kind of technology could level the playing field and have a serious impact on the direction of the next generation console market."

So what Wiimote intensive game would you like to see go cross-platform?
