In its latest issue, Xbox World 360reports that its own sources have "confirmed" that both the 360 motioncontoller and Rare-helmed Xbox 360 'Mii' project are real, and will beout before the end of the year.
Last month MTV reported it's heard all about the 'Newton' controller from an unnamed developer, and then the blokes at 8bitjoystick piped up to say they'd heard about the Newton and Rare 'Mii' project as well.
"This month, sources confirmed to us that both projects are real, whichshouldn't come as a surprise given Microsoft's eagerness to ensnare thecasual market," says Xbox World 360.
"The Microsoft Mii systemis well into development at Rare's offices here in the UK, while thecontroller itself remains more mysterous," the mag continues.
Quote:
"Partnering with a third-party hardware developer as Nintendo did,Microsoft would want to bring the controller to market before the endof 2008."
Last week Microsoft Game Studios boss played dumb on the Newton rumours, telling us: "I've never heard of a motion sensing controller... I don't know what you are talking about..."
Whether this is true or not, I still find it funny how MS pretty much stole every single idea they ever made and ended up being more wealthy than the people they stole their ideas from. Not only was DOS the only original thing they made but its also the only thing they made that never had a real flaw in it (for its time). Every other idea that MS stole had some issue with it. Everything that is only supported for MS products and works flawlessly just happens to be something MS didn't make. The point I'm trying to make it, MS needs to stop stealing ideas, and if they're going to steal the idea of the wiimote, its going to fail.
