Look at that man. He seems to really be enjoying himself. Soon you’ll be enjoying yourself like him too if Sony ever figures out how to manufacturer this motion control system that I’m code-naming “WeebleDong.” It uses everyday objects – a fake sword, a spoon, your mum’s little friend – to control on-screen action.

The patent says objects include “items such as coffee mugs, drinking glasses, books, bottles, etc.” Clearly Sony researchers were in their cups when they wrote this.

This basically adds objects to Microsoft’s Natal. Big whoop.
