Sega is looking forward to a world without proper controllers, believing that so-called “gestural” gaming presents a significant chance to the company. Personally I can’t wait for Sony and Microsoft’s pathetic “me too” motion fad to f*ck off and die in a ditch somewhere, but that’s why I’m not a game publisher.

“Being the largest third-party publisher on Wii we obviously have good gestural experience so for us I have the ability to see an chance to get a land grab on some of our competitors by taking our head begin in gestural gaming and evolving it,” states Sega’s Gary Dunn. “I was blown away by it, both systems offer us so many opportunities to do great things with videogames,” stated Dunn of the competing technology unveiled at E3 for the first time this year.

“I immediately now want to make another Virtua Tennis. There’s so many games and possibilities. I want to go away and lock myself in a dark room with some of our cleverest chaps and see what we have the ability to do with it. We’ve got to look in different directions to nearly throw history away and it requires a whole new way of thinking. We’ve got to ask what can we do with this, because completely different genres of games could open up.”
