Get a load of THIS LINK from MTV, claiming that Microsoft is trying like mad to port their own Xbox 360 controllers into Wiimote-style form, in order to emulate the Nintendo console's runaway success.
If you read the link (which, if true, is quite illuminating), you'll see that Microsoft has been developing the technology since last summer, has been talking with Rare Entertainment in an effort to develop an animal-style 'Mii-esque' system of avatars, and has even been explaining to third-party Wii developers just how easy it would be to port their creations to the Xbox. You know, since so many third-party Wii games aren't crappy.
Basically, Microsoft is looking to COMPLETELY change everything they've been doing for the past 8 years. If this is all true.
Frankly, as a converted Xbox fan in this gaming generation, this worries me like crazy. I wouldn't put it past Bill Gates to try and piggyback on an idea just because he hears it's popular, but would Microsoft really be thinking about this if they thought they had a shot in hell of keeping up with the PlayStation 3 for the next four-five years?
Should be interesting finding out what those nuts over at Microsoft are really up to.
