E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

Already have one, don't need two. Agreed with E3. It'll be a big suckfest.



MS would have to be pretty foolish to think that a motion control peripheral would somehow give them part of the market Wii is capturing with theirs.

First, since it's a peripheral, and not the standard controller, pretty much any game made for it would still have to be designed for the regular 360 controller as well. If a developer is doing it for both, it means one or the other will suffer, and more than likely it would be the motion controls. If the motion controls end up sucking, it defeats the entire purpose of the controller.

Second, it isn't necessarily the controller that is giving the Wii its success, it's the ease of use. If MS is developing this, it's probably not going to change the overall game catalog of the 360 down the line. MS may want a chunk of the Wii's target audience, but their historical game selection doesn't really mesh with that plan.

If MS is smart, they will bank this tech towards the next system. I think given the success of the Wii that motion controls in some way, shape, or form will be standard in all the follow-up systems. Nintendo will obviously have the advantage given their extra system's worth of experience, but how the companies try to differentiate themselves next time around will be the key to how the next generation of consoles plays out.

Nintendo showed this time that innovation can be a huge plus for your system, so we'll see if MS and Sony primarily stick to their "bigger, better hardware" mantra, or if they go out on a limb and try to broaden their base. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.



The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.

Motion controlller would probably be introduced next generation. I doubt MS would want to spend more money on another controller considering that the Wii has captured nearly all of the market that a motion controller would be catered for and because of how much moneys been spent on other things (i.e RROD)

I'll reserve any judgement until I see it (if it exists). I think it could be good, and Microsoft is known for taking good ideas, embracing them, enhancing them, and extending them. So, we just have to wait and see. It can be great, but it may also can be a huge flop.

I am actually excited about its possibilities with Halo Wars (as some rumours suggest) then anything else though seeing that RTS are usually best on PCs with keyboard and mouse. Seems like a perfect motion controller game to short cut the limitations of current controllers.



^ Even with the motion controller you really cant mimic playing RTS just as like in the PC so as playing it in FPS. I think thats the reason why the 360 sells feel stagnant these days, sorry for 360 fans out here. FPS just cant work in a console, and yet the 360 wants to release more FPS in a console that it becomes more of a porting station of PC. Call of Duty 4 was really a PC game then ported in 360 see what i mean?

Using a $ instead of an S stopped being funny or clever before this website was even though of.

If a fun game comes out, and it's more fun with it, I will use it. It's not like it's the first time Nintendo invented a controller, and everyone else adopted it.



I think Microsoft has to have it bundled with games that fully rely on it.
It has to be cheap.
No one wants to play fps games with a remote, i don't, i want to play with a normal controller.

And the controller itself has to have a wow factor and not make people say " oh well, that just looks like what the nintendo guys have done". They will just get bad rep for copying.
