This year, Sony will add 35 titles for PS3. One of the biggest, Tretton says, will Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Motion control
Though it was described very much a prototype, Sony unveiled a dynamic motion control system.
The controller operates using sub-millimeter precision and can be used in first-person shooters or to wield bats, axes, knives, and swords. It can even be used to pull an arrow from the virtual quiver on your back before loading and firing a bow and arrow.

ModNation Racers
ModNation Racers will allow people to customize racetracks, cars, and racers with highly customizeable controls.
The controls feature a simple, paintbrush-like interface to build mountains, lakes, and roads and even to control the angle and direction of the sun.
