Nintendo's latest controller for the Wii console can be considered a trend setter. Engineers have even adapted the Wiimote technology for bomb disposal.

Aside from that, scientists have also utilized the motion-sensing remote to study the link between movement and learning. Who's next to adopt it, you ask?

Well, a competitor of Nintendo it seems. We just got wind that Microsoft has been doing the same thing for the Xbox 360. It's been said that the company has been developing a 360 version of the motion-sensitive Wiimote since summer.

This was told by a source to MTV who chooses to be anonymous. The source was able to divulge interesting bits and pieces of information regarding the remote being developed.

Apparently, Rare Ltd., the company behind Perfect Dark Zero, has been assigned to create a unified interface and look for the controller. According to the source, unfortunately, the studio hasn't been able to meet its deadlines.

Well, MTV asked Microsoft to comment on this. All that Microsoft had to say was, "Microsoft does not comment on rumors and speculation." The photo on the right side above is a sketch of the prototype that was provided by the source himself.

It certainly resembles the design of the Wiimote, don't you think? But unlike Nintendo's remote, the concept remote has four face buttons, an analog stick, and a microphone. Well,  all we can say is that this is certainly interesting.

We'll keep you guys posted on the developments on this particular concept controller and the company involved with it. Do stick around our site for that.

Thanks Mister Common Sense for the tip!
