So how about some emails addresses and referrals of some PR agents of game publishers so I can get some review copies and stuff?

Sony’s controller already supports motion-sensing. It’s not as serious as the Wii’s though. But c’mon Microsoft, think of you own thing. Don’t copy the other guys…

They’ve all copied eachother to some extent over time. Because Sony has already added motion-sensing, it only makes sense for Microsoft to do it, in my opinion. Although if the controller ends up looking like the image above, it does resemble the shape of the Wiimote a little too much.

I’m sure Sony and MS will attempt to clone the Wii in the next year or two, but…

The Wii is actually fun for regular people. I’m not sure that they can clone that aspect.

Very true. I’ve had people playing the Wii that would have never touched a video game system otherwise. And the fact that these are finding their way into elderly homes is astonishing.

I think it really depends on what game you’re playing. In some games it’s nice having the joystick for moving around at unusual angles, but the more simple games I prefer to have the D-pad.

Yeah I agree with you there. I mother has a blast with Wii bowling, because it’s simple and fun to play, oh and not to mention that she like her Mii.

But an analog stick on the Wiimote lookalike…that is will be an overkill. I think Microsoft should go with a D-pad.
