Xbox 360 Motion controller & Mii Confirmed! M$ will Win the war eventually!

[Final-Fan]

MS stole from Apple way more than Apple stole from Xerox. It's my understanding that a good comparison might be writing a book with a similar plot vs. writing one with exactly the same plot and story and events etc., but changing the names of all the people and places, and changing the MacGuffins.

On topic:

I think that a main goal of this peripheral is not to do anything for the 360, but to pave the way for the next Xbox, even though this "Xmote" will come out for the 360. My reasoning? It's simple. When was the last time Microsoft ever did anything right the first time? Their initial offerings are often complete shit and sometimes total failures. They can't afford to be stuck with a crappy motion controller as the default in their console, yet consoles have their hardware's functionality "locked in" and can't revise the controls too much.

(The PS analog sticks simply added functionality; nothing was changed of the original controls. Ditto adding rumble back into the PS3 controller. Those are the only major controller revisions I'm aware of.)

What does all that mean? Simply that Microsoft wants to use its customers as guinea pigs, which is completely consistent with standard operating procedure for them.
