Wiimote for Xbox 360

Chris Kruger

A news report on Yahoo news states that Microsoft may create a Wiimote like controller for their Xbox 360 console.

The report orginally fielded by MTV News says that Microsoft will be trying to capture some of what makes the Nintendo Wii so popular to casual gamers. Microsoft also hopes that the Wiimote clone will allow Games Developers to easily port Wii games to the Microsoft Platform.

Microsoft's marketing department was named as the originators of the idea. They seem to feel that when customer's compare product feature bullet points on the side of console packaging that the XBox 360 looks a little shabby in comparision to the Wii. If the rumours are true, Microsoft will match Nintendo bullet point for bullet point.

We at Divine Abomination personally think it's a little early to be copying Nintendo and we'd rather see Microsoft fix the Xbox 360 hardware reliability problems first.
