PC World ’s Game On got an exclusive interview with Richard Marks, one of the key players on Sony’s Playstation Motion Control team, and got him to talk a bit about what the future holds for their motion gaming control scheme.

Aside from plenty of marketing/corporate speak, Game On did manage to get a few interest points out of marks. For starters, Playstation Motion Control is not the final name for the control scheme. Marks himself referred to it as a “temporary mouthful” and we can expect a name announcement to come closer to launch.
