It won't touch the Wii, because the Wii is designed around the concept, and not a late in the game peripheral. Any peripheral released 2 years or more into a system's life is a complete afterthought. (Though the Rumble Pak was pretty bitchin'. Not really a focal point of an entire controller though.) Lips device: Eh, wait and see what it is. If it's a karaoke game thing, I'll pass. I have Rock Band. 60 GB HD would be a step in the right direction. Throw it out on the market for ~$50 and it would sell in droves, I think. I know I'd get one, because $180 for the 120GB is ridiculous. My 20 GB will hold me over just fine until whatever point there's an affordable upgrade. |
Thats BS the Wii isnt designed around the controller. The motion controller could have been an add-on all along.
The newton controller doesnt need to be a game changer, a little success in making people think twice before they get a Wii is all MS needs it to do. Nothing more.
As for peripherals Guitar Hero and Rock Band show how successful a peripheral device can work. MS simply should release XNA Sports with the Newton and charge like $50 for it.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
