So what does this exactly mean? Microsoft doesn't think that they can compete with Sony over the long run for the "hardcore" crowd so they are going to compete with Nintendo? A new Mii to go along with an X-mote or Newton or whatever they're going to call it? Oh brother!

I guess you could call it a way of "Downstreaming" for the Xbox360 brand. Also its to broaden the appeal and provide competitive advantages over the Wii and the PS3 at the same time. Im not talking all segments, im talking about contested areas of the market where people consider both systems as viable.

The Wii is NonHD and the games have a different appeal to the Xbox360 games which are also more graphically pleasing. There are also the PC ports of the strategy games that Microsoft holds this genre uncontested.

The PS3 does not have a motion controller to speak of to compete in this segment.

Nintendo validated the motion controls with the Wii's success. Therefore people will see it as a good concept since it works so well for the Wii. Im talking people because the fanboys here are getting too emotional over this.



Tease.
