It seems like everyone wants to jump onto the motion sensing bandwagon, with reports of both Sony and Microsoft developing motion sensing controllers for their next-gen consoles. Not to be left out, Asustek recently announced that they're planning to bring motion sensing controllers to the PC. Called the Eee stick, the set of two controllers will be launched in an introductory move in which Asustek intends to bundle the controllers with their Eee laptops and the desktop Eee box. It will be available in mid-August, and Asustek intends to move on to selling them in packs with five to eight games that are compatible with the Eee Stick, for around $70-$85. So far they've only gotten their hands on a few licensing agreements from game companies, but they plan to talk to more, with EA being in their sights.

The sixaxis was already motion sensing though...?

I love the name though, "Eee Stick". The controllers themselves look somewhat remeniscent of the Wii-mote and Nun-chuck though.

wonder if they have to pay nintendo for their patents?

This will not be successful.
