Thx, actually, Motion Controls were around even before MS, ever hear of Virtual Reality, or the NES Power Glove? As for the specific device, it says nothing about accelerometers, bluetooth, or anything that the Wii remote uses.
Considering that the Wii released in 06, that implies development to start 3 years earlier, and research 2 before that, Theoretically, the initial concepts for the Wii remote could have been found in 2002 as well. Maybe Nintendo just beat them to the finish line and got their patent out first?
BTW, the MS Research from 2004 link, it doesn't load.
