I think MS should just wait and see what exactly is going on with Project Cafe, in order to see how they can combat it with their next console. 

The console development process is very long, and begins the instant you get the previous console out the door. MS will have about a year from the release of the Wii2 to the release of the 720. That is not enough time for much in the way of changing their console.

Yeah your right but they could make some changes here and there, nothing too drastic of course. I was thinking more along the lines of how Sony changed their batarang controler as soon as they saw the fan reaction to it. 

That was possible because the boomarang was not really different to any other Sony controller in any significant way. It does not change the requirments of the rest of the console, nor does it require changing the launch games in any way.

 

Whereas look at what happens when a company adds in a feature like the sixaxis purely because they are trying to copy a competitor (pretty much nothing, it raises the cost of controllers noticeably, and gets used in cool ways like twice in the PS3's entire catalogue)

hey i like the way COD: 3, Uncharted 1 and 2, resistance, and Killzone 2 and 3 implement sixaxis.

see a pattern tthough, it nearly all sony exclusive games that actually is it in a good way. shame
