There have been grumblings and people swearing on their sources that there is a motion controller in the works for the Xbox 360. Apparently executives have been quoted as saying that there is a “possibility” that there may be a motion controller. This when people say things without actually saying them. Sort of like I did not not piss myself last night. These same sources claim that MS have named the project, Newton. This may be all bullshit or it may be a sign of things to come.
According to a source at MTV, Microsoft has been working on motion controller similar to Wii remote since last summer.
It’s said that the project is being led by Rare as they create a unified interface and look for the controller. No other concrete details are known, however MTV’s source sketched out what the controller looks like.
How many more types of controllers does the Xbox 360 need? I have wired and wireless controllers as well as Big Button Pads for Scene It. Now we’re going to need Wii Remote style controllers too? No word on how the motion controls will interface with the Xbox 360. But I can tell you this, I have no more room another sensor bar on top of my TV.
Thanks to EHT for sending this in!
Hey kids, do those of you who have a Wii enjoy the wireless remote? Think your pretty special huh? Well, as early as the end of next year you might not be alone in your motion-sensing infrared tower. Microsoft might just be sitting next to you. Hit the jump for more
