Chatting merrily with GI.biz at E3, new Computer Entertainment boss has said that motion-sensing will become an 'essential' part of the package.

He used the word 'essential' to describe the new wand-based system that will make Wii-like possible on the console.

"But the PlayStation 3 is also one of the best players around for high-definition and that almost gets lost in the mix," he enthused.

"That gives it an enormous sense of longevity, people want the best if they are buying into high-definition entertainment from a standpoint or from a standpoint. That's an inherently long lifecycle and it helps bolster the traditional gaming lifecycle as well."

More from House as we get it.
