Sony: Life will also be a PS3 controller

Sony revealed that PlayStation Life can be used as a controller for PS3 games, similar to what is seen by Wii U.

"PS3 will be able to send data to Life and the new portable console will display", explained Phil Rogers Sony during his recent speech at the Develop Conference 2011.

"The unique characteristics of PS Life, such as the gyro and tactile sensors front and rear, will also be used as a controller for PS3".

"It will be possible to run games on both the console and use Wi-fi and PlayStation Network to sync them, or play cross-play mode as in the case of Wipeout," Rogers said.

"In time for the launch, in addition, we intend to make available the Remote Play, which allow life to receive real-time video directly from the PS3".

"For the Continuation Play [i.e. the possibility to continue the games PS3 on PSV-NdR] you'll have to wait a few months extra, but it will be really fantastic. You can save games on the console, move the data to Life and continue playing them, maybe while you're on the train or at the Park ".

Really not bad for a console that gi so far had boosted the waiting fans at levels never touched before.
