LOL, blantant ripoff on the wii and it will flop harder then mall cop same thing for that new sony controller.If people wanted that kind of gaming they will get a wii.

[celticgrafix]

yeh its a spinoff though, regardless the technology of it is amazing, and u knew they take the wii and imrpove it

You could not be more wrong Legend. It's nothing like what the Wii does. It requires no controller at all. It will change the way casual gamers play games forever. With the might of MS behind it, with a possible link to bringing it to the PC, there is no way it can fail.

good point dude, the wii was cool idea, this is amazing

[jaycanuck]

This seems familiar...



I'm not saying it isn't cool....my fear is MS will handle this the same way Nintendo handled the Powerglove, Sega handled the 32X, and countless other gimicky add-ons.

The thing with the Wii is that Nintendo from the start built the console to function with that controller...so it wasn't so much a gimick as an investment. I can't see many people playing Halo with this thing.

But hey...I could be wrong. Just seems like MS is trying to steal a page from Nintendo. They do it in the computer world why not the video game world. :P

*here come the flames*

[celticgrafix]

dont they all steal from each other, how else would they compete so good, and im pretty sure its alot better than whats out right now, it a good insight to future things

[jaycanuck]

True...the stealing thing was just pushing buttons on the Mac / Windows thing.

But getting back to this. I think it's cool....it's just that I've seen these add-ons come out time and time again and they fail because they're add ons. Unless it's included with the system, not many will flock to it when they can play current games with the controller.

There have been exceptions. Wii Fit is doing well.

Again this is like nothing that has come before as it uses full body mapping in 3d thanks to stereoscopic cameras. The eyetoy is a relic in comparison
