Sony Computer Entertainment's tentatively named 'PlayStation Arc' controller, the wand-like motion-sensing game controller due for release later this year, should have a host of custom built games to support the technology.

The PS3 developer has now confirmed that the controller will support at least 10 games before the year is out, with early rumours suggesting that an Eye-Pet-type game could be one of them.

"We will continue to work to have a comprehensive portfolio of attractive and innovative games for the Motion Controller, not only from SCE Worldwide Studios but also from the third party developers and publishers, whom we have been working closely with, " said Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kazuo Hirai in a press release earlier this week.

Microsoft will launch a rival peripheral later this year. Project Natal will enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through al user interface using gestures, spoken commands, or presented objects and images. Let the battle commence!
