Ubisoft Pledges Support for Project Natal, PS3 Motion Controller

In a recent earnings conference call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot affirmed the publisher’s support for Microsoft’s free-motion style Project Natal technology and Sony’s yet to be officially named PS3 motion controller solution.
According to Yves, 10 titles are due out for Natal within the first six months of launch. It comes as no surprise, considering the company has had devkits for the technology ever since Microsoft unveiled it last June.
On the other side of fence, four to five games are currently planned for Sony’s PS3 motion controller. Guillemot clarified that only games exclusively taking advantage of the two technologies were included in the count, meaning the the number of titles that partially take advantage of motion control on Xbox 360 and PS3 may be much larger.

If they have this many lined up already the controllers already seem to be gaining a lot of shovelware.

Motion Control = Shovelware ahoy!
Also wasn't Ubisoft the ones that released that baby dyper wiping game on the Wii? xD

Ubisoft made a lot of shovelware on the Wii and the new controllers, a bad idea to begin with, will almost kill the hardcore gaming market for the consoles and might push people back to the PC.
Also, inb4 new SEGA minigame compilation announced for Natal.

Motion Control madness might be the thing that saves PC gaming.

I'm sure game companies will come up with a way to try and sell motion gaming to PC gamers as well.
