It'd be funny if Banjo 3 required the use of this Xmote or whatever. It'd kill sales of the game.

I really have a hard time believing that MS is going through with something as stupid as this.

But then again, it's Microsoft.

So long as Microsoft always allows alternate control schemes with all games (As in using the regular pad) except whichever game they bundle the controller with, this isn't stupid in the slightest.

At WORST, the idea sells a small amount of extra consoles.

At best:

-Shifts large number of extra consoles

-Enhances gameplay across a number of titles for the next three years.

-Gives Microsoft an excellent practice run for the next generation.

 

 

Anyone that thinks gamers are fickle enough to not buy an Xbox 360 (when they were actually planning to) because Microsoft "copied" Nintendo is a fool.
