Microsoft are looking to develop a controller that resembles the sensor controlled handset of the Nintendo Wii. This is an attempt to keep up with progressive state of the market and to stay in touch with the other 7th generation consoles, like the Wii.
The main difference between the Wii remote and Microsofts Xbox 360 prototype is that it lacks a second controller to be held in the other hand, like Wii's 'Nunchuck'." The controller has not been created by thoroughly thought out design plans, although MTV reported that the new idea genated a varying response from its source.
Feedback stated thatt "The whole thing is a colossal marketing ploy because Microsoft just want it so they can match the Wii point for point."
On investigation of this new product, It looks far too similar to the existing Wii remote to deter Nintendo from taking some kind of legal action against the idea in terms of protecting their copyrighted design. The MTV report was over ridden with anonymous sources and the oposition to Microsofts's appears to be piling up.
It has been said that it would be much easier, cheaper and less stressful for Microsoft if they were to just simply modify its existing controller design to cope with motion sensing, which is hat Nintendo and Sony have done with the Wiimote and the SIXAXIS controller respectively.
