Kotaku — ... make developers say "wow"? It's possible to set the color of the controller's light up ball.

Sony - PS3 motion controller is generations ahead of Wiimote
GoNintendo — ... games or applications which are out there, people had to sort of fluff it to make it real for consumers. But this stuff is super-accurate and the impact of that is incredible.
