We already know that there’s aPlayStation motion controller in development(and damn you Nintendo for making this crap a fad, I want to sit in a lazy pile on my sofa with a controller in my hand and not move like the good old days). Seems like maybe it might have a mysterious codename too though: Sphere. At least, thisJoystiq interview at TGSsure makes it look that way.

Both Sega producer Yasuhito Baba and his translator referred to the controller under this name, and while it may be a working name, it sure beats “Sony PlayStation Motion Controller”. However, Sony reps say they are unfamiliar with the name. It got me thinking, though — what would it be like to play games holding a controller shaped like a ball?
