LEAKED: PLAYSTATION MOVE COMING TO PC

Looks like Sony's plans to make its PlayStation Move controller an official PC accessory have been unceremoniously revealed in a description of a Sony Computer Entertainment America talk scheduled for Game Developers Conference 2011. According to the synopsis, John McCutchan, SCEA's lead for Game Systems and Developer Support, will be on hand to discuss the "Move Server project that will make it possible for academics and hobbyists to develop software using the PlayStation Move controller on their own PCs."

NINTENDO LOSES MONEY FOR FIRST TIME IN SEVEN YEARS

Due to poor sales of its flagship products, the DS and the Wii, Nintendo has post a loss for the first half of the year.  This is the first loss in over seven years for Nintendo.  The DS slid from 11.7 million units last year to 6.69 million this year.  This is to be expected since the DS has been around for almost six years and the 3DS will be launching soon.

What is unexpected is that Wii sales have fallen off as well.  Last year 5.75 million Wii's were sold compared to 4.97 million this year.  This could be explained by the increased interest of the Microsoft Kinect and Sony Move for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 respectively.

Also contributing to the loss is the big slip in the value of the Yen.  Combining all these factors mean Nintendo's net income was down 33.7% over the same time last year and operating income was down 48% for the same period. [Gizmodo] [Kotaku]

SONY MOVE ON SALE EARLY

The Sony Move for the Playstation3 is not suppose to be on sale until September 19th, but an Engadget reader has managed to snag one at a Benton Harbor, MI Best Buy.  If you are wanting to buy one, you might be able to find it available at your local Best Buy.

The Sony Move is a wireless remote that tracks your movements in game play much like the Wii remotes and the Microsoft Kinect. [Endgadget]

PLAYSTATION MOVE REVIEW

Sony Playstation 3's motion controller will be arriving in stores soon.  The Move may look a little silly with the round ball on a stick design, however it does seem to work well.  Depending on what you need the Move can be purchased for as little as $50
