is a motion-sensing
game controller platform by
Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), first released for the
PlayStation 3 (PS3) video game console. Based around a handheld motion controller wand, PlayStation Move uses inertial sensors in the wand to detect its motion, and the wand's position is tracked using a PlayStation webcam (
PlayStation Eye for the PlayStation 3,
PlayStation Camera for the PlayStation 4). First revealed on 2 June 2009, PlayStation Move launched in mainland Europe and most Asian markets on 15 September 2010, in Australia on 16 September 2010, in North America and the UK on 17 September 2010 and in Japan on 21 October 2010. Hardware available at launch included the main PlayStation Move motion controller, a supplementary PlayStation Move navigation controller, and an optional PlayStation Move charging station. It competes with the Wii Remote Plus and
Kinect motion controllers introduced with the
Wii and
Xbox 360 home consoles, respectively.
