It never was a selling point for me on the Wii and I can't see it being a 'must have' on the 360..

Tempist6241d ago

Sweet micro lightsaber.... oh wait.

Well, as they say, 'third time's the charm'. But I think it's quite gimmicy.

Can anyone confirm if this be true or not?

P.S., calling it the newton is probably the worst idea ever. Remember the Apple Newton?

titntin6241d ago

I've confirmed it to be true, and that its coming on a couple of occasions. Theres an awful lot of reports now too..

I've worked on two games now that are intended solely for the 360 motion controller. The first one was delievered at the end of last year - the second is still in development, and awaiting approval. I had no idea what the controller looked like though....

ericnellie6241d ago (Edited 6241d ago )

Doesn't it look sort of like a vibrator with a couple of extra buttons =) Just kidding!

P4KY B6241d ago

"a couple of extra"

Just how many buttons does your vibrator have?

themyk6241d ago

that controller is super ugly. and if it's IR based it already fails.

ericnellie6241d ago

It was a joke...
Why is everyone so damn serious all the time?
Okay, cool idea; but do I think it will sell more 360s? No
Why? Because I think they'll need a hell of a lot more games that will support the new controller and I don't see them coming out with a lot of games at the beginning that will support motion sensing.

sonarus6241d ago

I'm predicting this will fail. Msoft doesn't have the games to back this motion controller up and people are looking into motion controllers are making wii games. All this can mean is 360 might get some of wii's games but its not like wii 3rd party games are much to boast about anyway.

IMO they should have just gone with a motion controller add on sort of like sixaxis that way ps3 and 360 controller are on a more even plain where motion sensing isn't cumpolsory but its an option

Dark_Vendetta6241d ago

It's a fake. Look at this pic:
http://blog.wired.com/photo...
It's a controller developed by Motus Games for 360, Ps3, and PC.
Proof: http://www.motusgames.com/
Took me 2min to find it with google

Montrealien6241d ago (Edited 6241d ago )

@Dark Vendeta

I think if anything your pics shows how valid this may be. It is more Microsoft`s MO to just buy some tech and addapt it to the 360. Don`t you all agree?

this is one of the scrolling links at the bottom of the site talking 360 rumours...

TheMART6241d ago

MS doesn't have the games???

Wel uhm... All those many Wii games can be ported easily because the power of the 360 compared to that weak supercharged Gamecube. So all 3rd party minigame stuff etc. can be ported in no time. Extra potential to earn bucks for those 3rd party devs that are making those bad games, but still sell to kids.

LJWooly6241d ago (Edited 6241d ago )

So, you really want the 360 to get in on the minigame shovelware that resides on the Wii? You'd be better off without those games. The 360 has a pretty decent quality games library, let's keep it that way.

Seriously, the reason I vastly prefer the PS3 and 360 to the Wii is because of the games. If what you propose happens, and crap like "Carnival Games" and "EA Playground" gets ported to 360, then I, and every other gamer with an inkling of self-respect, shall be left with only one console ;_;

The day when 90% of 360 owners are computer-illiterate old age pensioners and 4-year-olds (a la Wii fanbase) is the day I lose all my faith in humanity. Or at least, Microsoft.

This is fail if it's going to use a sensor bar. This is win if it uses the vision camera.

BulletToothtony6241d ago

i mean if they're gonna copy something they should somehow improve it and come up with some better ideas...

But this as well as the Scene it controller, (straight up copy of PS buzz controller) just goes to show how much MS lacks creativity..

the worst6241d ago

next they will copy the PLAYSTATION EYE
they will come out camera with a mic on it

Capt CHAOS6241d ago

So by including a HD in the PS3, they copied what? The Xbox?
As long as copying from each other makes them more competitive and gives us better value then I'm all for it.

ps360fella6241d ago

they wont need to the 360 has something called "a proper damn headset that works whenever unlike my damn $40 ps3 bluetooth headset that connects whenever it feels like and drops the connection when starting a new online match" so i think they'll skip the camera with the mic

Rock Bottom6241d ago (Edited 6241d ago )

First they say the Wii is not a competitor, few days later they shamelessly copy the Wii's selling point.

truly hardcore.

Rock Bottom6241d ago (Edited 6241d ago )

As cheap as the six-axis is a better way to say it.

Also, it looks fake. =__=

Ashton6241d ago (Edited 6241d ago )

couldn't they atleast work on the looks since they didn't work much on invention part?it looks like a freakin dildo ,,lol XD

P.S. i know this is just a rumor now,,so it might not look like this

Dark_Vendetta6241d ago

Can't believe it's real (well actually I hope it's not) especially because it looks really ugly (and I'm not a Sony fanboy).

clintos596241d ago

I mean this is o funny I mean I know companys copy each other but those pics are hilarious, lol. I mean sony did copy the wii but atleast they left there controller the way it is now, MS on the other hand when they copy, they COPY, lol. I cant stop laughing man, im going to show this to my cousin, he is a nintendo fanboy and he hates sony and ms, lol but this should make him go nuttz, lol.

Bloodshedder6241d ago

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX6d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX4d ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee5d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard5d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.
