Sony Have Now announced that Sony's PlayStation 3 Motion Controller (AKA, let's steal ideas from Nintendo) won't be hitting stores this spring. The company announced today its still-unnamed peripheral has been delayed until this coming fall for all territories, implying the titles that utilize the tech aren't quite ready yet.

Announced at this past E3, the PlayStation 3 Motion Controller was originally planned for spring 2010, but Sony has since been quiet about its launch plans.
Sony has also yet to confirm a name for the controller, though, recent comments from Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello hint the motion controller may be called "Gem."
At last year's Tokyo Game Show, Sony also revealed a list of several titles that will incorporate the motion wand, including Resident Evil 5 (Gold Edition), LittleBigPlanet Motion, and Ape Escape PS3.
Resident Evil 5 (Gold Edition) is currently scheduled for release this March in Japan, but it may also be delayed now, too.
