Ok guys, for the 10th time -
Two reasons why the "Newton", if it truly does/will exist, will look and operate nothing like the Wii controller.
1 - Nintendo's patent on the Wii Remote states their ownership to a device that operates using bluetooth and accelerometers, housed in a remote control style device. This doesn't deny MS or anyone else of using bluetooth or accelerometers, but it does prevent them from using anything that resembles a remote control shaped device to house it in.
2 - XB360 already has a set amount of buttons for their games (8 if I recall?). Their controller, unable to look like a remote control, is likely going to require a more oval or rectangular shape to fit all the buttons, giving it more of a Sixaxis feel/look
