Microsoft to create motion sensing controller?

[BoundByHonor]

Although the Wiimote (and the SIXAXIS, under certain conditions) already enjoy the luxuries that tilting can bring, it looks like those sticking with Microsoft's console will now be able to get in on fun as well. Thanks to a partnership with "specialist peripheral makers" Talismoon, the highly-regarded tiltBoard is reportedly getting an commercial makeover as it readies itself for "mass production." Details are admittedly scant right now, but the forthcoming product -- "which will bring tilt sensitivity for the Xbox 360 to the masses" -- is said to be "worth the wait" from its presumably jovial creator.

I was expecting this to happen sooner or later.

He-hee he must either have a wii or the microsoft wireless thing needs the little Black motion bar....too.

Sony copies off Nintendo, Microsoft copies off Sony.

In other cases, its just Microsoft copying Sony.

wii isnt a tilt system ...its actuly motion sensoring not tiliting

[Jakuza]

They still copied its concept.

They still copied its concept.

wouldn't they both have copied off Nintendo? .....but what ever i doubt ill use it.

Why do people care so much about who copied who?
does it really matter at that end of the day?

This is so gay. For real. Now, I don't believed Sony actually "copied" Nintendo, seeing as how they just have tilt and not full on motion sensing. I still think it was fairly unoriginal. However, this is copying Sony. This is SIXASIS in a 360 controller. There's not a single different factor about it.

Who the **** cares. What did you expect it to be a 5 axis controller? maybe 7 axis, can't make a 6 axis controller though cus sony has one.

Even if they do create it, it will be useless.
Just like the initial bare-bones 360, without an HDD.
Developers can't use the HDD for the main game features, because not every 360 owner has one. It's the equivalent of not having an HDD.

The same will be said for the controller-- why invest time in developing for hardware that only a small portion of the 360 userbase has?

Took the words out of my mouth.

Not only that, but developers would be bothered to make their games tilt-functional. =/
