Microsoft is working on a new
motion-sensing controller similar to Nintendo’s Wiimote controller for
the Wii.
“Wii Sports”; it’s
slightly more ambitious. “They want the usual assortment of ‘Halo’/
‘Gears’/ ‘Forza’/ whatever, just in waggle form,” our source told us.
Such idea-generation has not gone smoothly. “The whole thing is a
colossal clusterf—,” the source said. “[Microsoft] marketing just
want it so they can match the Wii point for point. The biggest parts of
their marketing materials outline how easy it would be for third
parties to port their Wii games to the 360.”
