Forums - Microsoft - Official?: The XMOTE is real, called the DARWIN controller

PSwii60 on 10 July 2008

"Controls: Use a single controller or split Darwin™ in two and pass one to a friend. Simple control for fun casual play."

I'm very skeptical as to how well this is going to turn out.
Plus I also have the same question - no IR?

I think Xbox360 is great the way it is. Their controller are made perfect for the console. You can connect a damn mini-keyboard, and other things to it, and it perfectly fits in your hand

Anyway, I was skeptical of Wii when it was first introduced.
And they turned out okay.


I still do not like the nunchuk;May I add, though, that Nyko did great w/ making it wireless.

I knew I had seen that controller before.

1. This has nothing to do with the 360.
2. Its being designed for PC's.

Exactly because of that too.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

I knew Nintendo did.
I'm not sure if it is even a valid lawsuit, or if Nintendo is just being a punk once again.

Well, if Nyko did violate the trademark.
Nintendo has to legally sue or they pretty much forfeit the trademark.

I think that is why Nyko made this other Make-Your-Nunchuk-wireless gizmo kind of thing...

Nintendo, and Microsoft were sued, too for making wireless Gamecube controllers apparently by Anascape- the makers of wavebird if I'm not mistaken...

Correct me if I'm wrong

I wanna know what cracked out Microsoft fanboy called it the Wii-Mote killer, lol?

It would literally take a metric ton of crack to believe this would have adverse effects on Wii-sales, and make the 360 somehow outsell the PS3 in the longrun.

 

Not to say that I'm not excited about it. I love the Wii-Mote and I wish all my consoles has similar functionality, but I doubt your gonna get casuals to buy Xbox 360's, it's just a hard sell, is all I'm saying.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
