QuoteNot so long ago, a major rumor dropped courtesy of an MTV source that Microsoft was developing a Wiimote-style peripheral for the Xbox 360. Many were shocked at the totally crazy news, but truth be told, there have been rumblings about the possibility for some time. That report just added a big pile of legitimacy to the whispers.

Now 8bitjoystick, a blog known for close affiliation with somebody at Microsoft, is confirming that the peripheral indeed exists under the codename "Newton," and that the public could see the device by this winter.

Is this real or a hoax?

I been seeing this and reading about it.
If they got the licence deal which they seem to from the people that Nintendo did for their remote then there is no reason why not. I think they should not go nuts and 100% copy nintendo but I think it is the right thing to do.

For me it should not be the wii in terms of just that and their next console should have the controller still but have this stuff as well for some games.
I mean for some sports it is a really good thing and in fps on a console for example it can work well for SOME fps games as well and for your other stuff switch to your controller as per.
IF they can get it to work and work with the camera as well in features it should be a good addition.

If you got the money, the willingness and the ideas for game use etc - why not?

Mmmm Tiger woods golf on the 360, nice graphics and golf like swingingness.

Yeah, I think that is what they are thinking, found they could legally do it so why not for certain games it would be great and one of the gripes with the wii is the graphics, so yeah, Tiger woods swinging for real would be great


Actually, have to say - In NZ no one has curtains just about, getting dark and people in these cool houses around me have lots of big windows and lights on and you can see right it.
Walking the dog the other night and saw I guy swinging about like a nutter with a bit of white plastic in his hand.
Made me smile, We would know he is having fun on his wii, others would think he is a total nut job, lol.

Nintendo should have bought the original company to stop M$ doing this. Guess they dropped the ball on that one.

wouldnt be suprised if ms did just that Serious

they did it with the vibrating controllers company

If its based on that pic, couldnt be more of a hoax.   -)

aye Nintendo and MS Both bought into immersion IIRC.

looks fake.. and not even photoshop good. MS Paint - look the the lower left xbox logo.. just where about it would say power in grey on the wii

cut the sound vent of the wii, rotate 90 degrees & theres the next part

the thumb controller & buttons nicked for a remote pic same as start/select

then back to the sound part you rotated earlier, except this is duplicated & painted out a few vent holes

Just for the "fake" people it is not just base on this, the patent plans as well as other drawings have also been leaked along with shipping information and even the software for developers

its well known that ms & sony are developing their own wii style controller system, thats not new. Just the basis of this thread - the leaked pic is a fake pic

Fake pick yes but a mock up but to show what has actually been seen by people leaking the news and as well as the designs leaked.
it will basically look like that as that is what it will have.

When you only quote part of what someone said it is very easy or the intention to twist what that person said to your own means and goals
He made  a quote and a link to something and is always good to read the whole thing and not just bits as you can make the mistake which you have done egg and to me and others who did or knew about the story already read his whole post and the question he asks directing to ALL of his post and NOT just the image
