There's no point building the hardware if nobody really wants it. One thing I'm not certain of is that third-parties are super-excited about that motion control - or at least they're not showing it with the games that are hitting the shelves yet. We're yet to see a really good game on Wii that really says 'OK that control kicked ass. |

» The new wii60
I think it would be sweet if the 360 had a motion sensitive controller. Now is the perfect time to implement this move on Nintendo especially in Japan. I own a PS3 and 360 and I think the PS3's sixaxis is lame. Nintendo is on the right side of the track with their wii motes and intergrated force feedback. Its time for SCEJ to pay Emerson what they owe them and give me some sixaxis (for free)with force feedback.Go M$.

» They wouldn't "add" it...
They would just make a motion sensitive controll you could buy. The thing is, even on PS3 where everyone has a motion sensitive controller, the support for it has been 50/50 and lot's of games don't implement it well at all....I think it's a serious waste of time...

motion sensor is like rumble. unlike wii it doesn't dominate gameplay. instead it takes the much better approach of complementing gameplay. rumble has become a standard (and will be on ps3 once sony re-implements it) and motion sensor most likely will too.

Motion sensing controllers are lame on anything except the Wii. The Wii was designed for it. The Sixaxis sucks, I felt like an idiot shaking my controller when I rented call of duty 3.

On systems like ps3 and 360, motion is like a rumble, a compliment. On Wii, you can shoot things. That's what's cool. Damn, I like shooting things.

» Depends
I'm not an Xbox 360 owner myself, but I know enough about it and have played it enough to answer this question as I would if I did have one. I think it depends on how they implement it. First, how will they distribute it? Will it be an add-on to the main controller, or a new controller entirely? An add-on would be better, as that would make it cheaper and probably more widespread, especially if they include it with new systems. Second, how many games will use it? Will it be like the PS2's EyeToy, which saw barely any support beyond uneccessary picture and video features, or will it become as universal as the N64's (admittedly simpler) rumble pack? And finally, how will the games use it? If it's fully integrated like the Wii Remote, that's good. If it's used just because it's there, which is how a lot of games seem to be using the Sixaxis motion features, that's not so good.

I agree with you. There are a very small number of games that work well with motion sensoring. The Wii has the more complex form and developers are probably going to struggle to deliver a good experience. The PS3 motion controls are restrictive and mostly pointless in all but a couple of games released so far.
Personally I think I would be happier with some light gun games.

Not many games use motion control effectively. I think the PS3 has it just so it has something suitable to replace rumble.
I prefer rumble and analog stick precision.

i would say definently no, Im enjoying the games im playing right now without motion sensing. Right now, it is just a gimmick and not necessary. Let the Wii have the motion sensing and hopefully they'll start coming out with kick ass games to actually use it ( call of duty on the wii is horrible ). The 360 controller is perfect how it is, except we could use some colored ones like on the original xbox (blue, green)...That would be tight. Motion sensing on the PS3 is alright at the moment. I think the racing games should be tighter and more responsive. I hate playing motorstorm and when you try to make a sharp turn, it continues to go straight. thats my two cents...

» Well...
The Sixaxis controller seems more well fitted for racing games and flying games like MotorStorm and WarHawk. Somehow I got a feeling that the controller was specifically made for WarHawk.
So it'd be pretty pointless to add that type of motion sensing to the controller.
The Wii's controller is unique.
We should all know that Microsoft never comes up with their own $hit so no point in arguing there.
I think they should just stick the FPS controller they were developing which they mentioned quite a while ago.

well the wii to me is more of an interactive console, it was made for motion sensing controllers, one thing that helped it a lot is the design of the wiimote, compare it to the ps3 controller, the ps3 one would be good for racing and thats it, the wiimote's design gives it more....umm alourability, i dno, all sony did was add motion sensing technology to their controller, the controller itself aint much different to the ps2, but the wii, nintendo made up an intiarelly new controller which is designed for it. To answer the question about the 360, i think it shouldn't, unless all games that use the motion sensing technology have an option to use normal controls.
