Remember the company who sued Nintendo last summer? Today I learnt that they released a new kind of controller for living room:

This form looks very interesting. More I think about it more I'm getting enthusiastic. Imagine your hand holding the Loop and laying on sofa, it looks pretty natural and comfortable to move around. Check the picture:

Of course, I didn't try the device myself, neither saw any video demonstration. If this works only in air, it's kinda dissapointing for me. But if this works as I said, how would you feel about such an ergonomics?

Another question is if this controller will be compatible with 360? Will Sony or Microsoft try to add in-game support for such a thing?

99$ for a glorified mouse? Thanks, but no thanks.

This controller was either out or coming soon when they first sued Nintendo. Honestly, I'd rather pay $30 for a wireless mouse and just keep it in my family room.

I don't think you can buy any "in-air" pointer for two bucks nowadays. In 3 years, may be...

Way too much money for a controller that functions like the $40 Wiimote

Sure you can, well something thats so accurate to the same use. Wirelss USB based, up to 25 feet away. They use them forpowerpoint presentations all the time. I can try and find the name of the device, but its like $20. It uses a little thumb pad to move the mouse, and honestly for the cost, really doesn't make a difference much in the goal of both devices, remote portability and potential laziness

From my experience, any wireless mouse is pain and no fun in the living room. Because your palm is pretty much fixed in unnatural position while you are trying to relax on your place. I'm excited about the device because it may be used on sofa freely (probably) without evertion of my wrist. If it's in air only, then I'll write this pointer off.

so, they sue ninty, then they bend a wiimote into a circle and sell it for more, recessions aren't bad for everything.
