In May DoCoMo will start selling three mobile mobile games that use motion-sensing technology to play, with the launch of its 904i-series of phones. “In a boxing game users can throw punches or duck, and their movements are picked up by the phone’s camera. In another game, the phone can be tilted in different directions to guide an on-screen ball through a maze,” reports IDG. This isn’t the first time motion-sensing games have been released, but the support of a major carrier should see them get wider take-up and recognition. DoCoMo seems to be putting a lot of effort into this series of phones (which will also offer Napster’s subscription service) in a bid to create some buzz and regain consumer interest that has drifted to KDDI and Softbank. “DoCoMo is going to take the offensive,” said Natsuno. “We are going to offer various things that cannot be mimicked by the other operators.” Which I’ll be interested to see—a music subscription service and motion-sensing games can be copied by other operators relatively simply.
