I have no problem with them doing motion sensing. Theft is the heart and soul of creativity. But if it's just an add-on to the existing 360 controller, then at best we can expect a second-rate Sixaxis rather than a second-rate Wiimote. And, well... nobody likes the Sixaxis. If your hands aren't separated and free to move, motion control is pretty damn lame.
The only point of MS adding motion sensing this late in the game, is to able to perfect it for their next generation system. It will not sell well, but this is not such a bad idea.
| Jandre02 said: If the feature works, who cares if its late? Every third-party game that comes to the Wii would come to the 360 as well. I dont get this "late" thing, since the Wii has been out a little over a year. They don't need motion sensing in every game. |
Realistically, the addon for the XBox 360 would get (roughly) no support from any third party publishers ...
If Microsoft pushed really (really) hard with a Wiimote addon they could probably sell 1 to 4 Million of them in the systems life, and third party developers know that they couldn't just port a game from the Wii to the 360 without a lot of graphical upgrades, so the end result would be doubling your development costs to capture a tiny market.

On the one hand, I could mention the MS Sidewinder gamepad that had motion sensing ages ago. On the other I could mention that Sony pulled the same shit.
It would make a lot of sense for them to get the technology in the marketplace and see what works. You can do all the focus group testing in the world, but it will never quite replicate what sort of feedback you get from putting a product in the marketplace.

And the SIXAXIS, its been added since day one, something that Microsoft isn't going to do since this WTF! motion sensing controller is an add-on.

Its in every single PS3 controller its not an add-on, that you would have to buy.
