Xbox 360 Wiimote Details
Not real pic.
Quote:
After MTV News broke the news on Microsoft designing a Nintendo Wii-like Wiimote for the Xbox 360, 8bitjoystick felt it was time to give up their secrets as well. Not only do they confirm that the project exists, but they can give up the codename for it: Newton. Jesus was kind enough to mock up a version of the controller based on MTV\'s sketch.
Jake also says that Microsoft has recently licensed patents from Gyration, maker of those gesture mice we all know and don\'t really care about. Nintendo did the same back in 2001 in order to help develop their own Wiimote.
The 360mote will also receive signal from an LED sensor bar (like the Wii), but one-ups the Wiimote by having a microphone on board for Xbox Live chat. He doesn\'t have many other solid points of data—there are guesses about it using the standard rechargeable battery pack and what colors it will have—but he does think the target date of late \'08 looks very likely.

I\'m kind of disappointed at how they are making this. They should instead try to come up with something new, not something somebody else already created.

You got me. :|
I mean I agree, copying the Wii's tactics of success is pretty lame in this instance. But, if they pull this off well, the 360 will be the Wii except 50 times better (without the 1st party titles of course).

HAHA! Good one. That was awesome.
Anyways...Bill Gates is a fag..he just copied Wii. But, if this does work, XBOX will become superior to Wii because the only thing that makes Wii special is the WiiMote, but the graphics suck. XBOX has great graphics, but no WIiMote, but if the have both they will do great.

Some people are funny
You call Bill Gates a fag and yet you don't know him
You say *he* copied the Wii, but Bill Gates has nothing to do with the Xbox division, he just owns/funds it.

I remember people saying Sony always copies, Microsoft never copies.

Sony rarely copies, except with the Sixaxis which will probably fail to Dualshock 3.
Anyway, we've all seen how most Wii first-person shooters control. GRAW is fine as it is, I don't really feel like getting popped in the head because the screen won't read my aim.

Lol, I don't mean literally, and when I refer to Bill Gates I refer to his XBOX staff. I guess I called him a fag from this video:
