Prepare to be sued by Nintendo's yakuza-ninja-lawyers.

Soooo with PS3 having motion control sixaxis and XBOX getting a "Xiimote" if you will...why is Nintendo here? they have been robbed of their original idea and it seems like everyone can do it better than them. I really hope the core games for Nintendo allow it to hold on for the long fight.

I hate lawsuits for this kind of crap so much. but I really think Nintendo should sue Microsoft for this little bit of trickery.

I Hate The WiiMote.... Oh god, please dont ruin gaming!

"they realized their target is a bunch of teenagers who like talking shit over a microphone and FAP."

Pretty much, now you will hear things like "I'll rape you with my new phalic/waggle controller" more often.

Joking aside, I really don't think MS needs this. Their console is just fine as it is, problems aside. Good library of games, good online service, but sometimes questionable hardware. Does it really need something like this? I sure as hell don't think so.

I agree with Mxyzptlk, I think theyll try push Banjo along with this device.

They won't replace their current controller, and thats why this is destined to fail, and maybe become a topic on RFGO episode 1508.

@DOOM I appreciate the fanboy hate you speak of, but could you enlighten us as to why you hate the wiimote??

I still don't understand - HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PUSH BUTTONS AND USE THAT SHITTY LOOKING DPAD AT THE SAME TIME!?!

@Boolean

hold it sideways like the wiimote?? thats my guess...

but yea.. total rip-off.. interesting to see if its released/is real.

as for sixaxis in the ps3, no thanks. i have my ps3 for hi-def/sound and wii for motion.. :)

"and it seems like everyone can do it better than them"

Wait wait wait...so you're saying the SIXAXIS does it BETTER than the Wii-mote?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *cough*....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say the PS3 stole the idea for motion sensing. They had this idea in place for the PS2 early on, but it never got pushed, and was never really publicized. Both the SixAxis sensing and the Wiimote rely on motion sensing, but in two different ways, so while they're similar, I wouldn't say either is a copy of the other.

Now Microsoft, on the other hand, is just performing a blatant ripoff. Geez Microsoft, aren't you familiar with this territory already? A little thing called DOS? Ah well, they know how to make money as a company, but honestly, I have to agree with the majority posting here, that the 360 is still going strong enough to not need this, but with PS3 sales rising (PS3 outsold the 360 during this quarter) and with Wii sales high in demand but short in supply, this could be something that draws those soccer moms to the 360, especially if they bundle it with the cheapo system pack.

Who knows? When Microsoft is backed into a corner, they strike hard and true, it's when they're in the open that they make mistakes... like Vista (why Microsoft??? XP was finally working extremely well.. and then.. Vista....)

*weeps for Microsoft and their never-ending schemes to generate even more profit*

its got a pleasure zone!

That's actually a pretty nice mock up, but it doesn't change the fact that this is just an utterly appalling idea. The 360's target audience seems to have developed an unhealthy contempt for waggle, and the console fundamentally just isn't designed to appeal to the "expanded audience", and this is not going to change that. If MS is actually developing this in earnest, I think they're only pumping R&D funds into a complete lost cause.

And by attics, I mean addicts.

Goddammit. They should know they're going to get crucified over this design.
