360's is really behind in the race in terms of gaming technology. Now they are considering a motion sensing controller when it has been proven to be a fun aspect and a 'next gen' controller feature. They should be the first to consider such idea since they released their next gen console a year before everyone. Now they are playing catch up.

First, it was HD-DVD to rival Bluray, then HDMI included in the Elite system, and now Six-Axis. WTF? Microsoft just seems like a wanna be.

M$ is picking their face off of the concrete with the whole catchup thing and they came out a year ahead of the competition, as the saying goes it's better to wait sometimes and this is a huge reason. M$ wouldn't have had to release this elite pack and wouldn't be considering this. People are bashing Sony's sixaxis yet there hasn't been a developer with enough balls to implement the motion controls with flair. Motorstorm did a good job with it and with Lair, MGS4, Little Big Planet and R&CF:TOD I can see them putting that issue to rest and will quickly change the minds of those on the fence about the motion sensing technology, just give it time. I say by the 2nd generation of PS3 titles this motion cotrol stuff will be a moot point.

They seem to copy a lot of other things. Vista has copied features from the Mac operating system. In fact, this copying has been going on for a while.

The idea of windows is stolen. If you own a legal copy of windows you will see all the copyrights and folks that added their two cents only to be bought out by Bill and co. Windows is a patchwork operating system and is clearly a monopoly no matter how yo uslice it...

People say the Sixaxis motion sensing is lame and in most cases I agree (except in Motorstorm and Godfather) but I can't wait to see what GOW III does with it, they are always inovative, I'll bet they will add it in with the minigames and stuff. Also a lot of other games too.

 If they did 360 fans would have egg on there face big time... I'm talking a whole carton.

of course they will

they are copycats

first they steal the color and trigger button from Dreamcast, the HDMI output idea from SONY, and then they wish to have a motion sensing controller ....  um .... why is that even suprising ??

It won't be too long before they release an add on blu ray player. I dunno if it will actually be used for games , probably just playback. M$ will eventually release a ThreeSixtyAxis wireless controller, and will give the line again that they are offering their consumers more "choices" to milk them out of more money, and their fanboys will love it. Hell, M$ even made the new elite black, a wannabe PS3 ;)

And you post this in the PS3 forum ? Why I hope they never add motion sensing. I don't want to swing my arms around like an idiot when playing. I also don't see this happening at all.

I take it your a xbox fan who never played a ps3 by the way your describing motion sensing.

He posted it because microsoft is now taking an idea that is in the ps3.

You really consider sixaxis motion sensing? I played Virtua tennis and MLB 2K7 with it and wow. Pushing my hands outward is truly motion sensing. Wii is the only console with true motion sensing ...sixaxis was just a last minute addition to the PS3...sadly it wasn't implemented well.

Take a look at EVERYTHING Deihmos posts, the guy is a PS3 hater, I can't find any posts anywhere but in here and all he does is complain about the PS3. I don't see him posting in the 360 forum, just here. I asked him why, his reply...because I can. Wow, he is really someone to listen to.

Then....

After adding motion sensing they'll add a slot loading tray,  then add Blue Ray as an add on (because MS wants to give you choice.)  Then the power brick will be incorporated in the design.  (notice how nobody ever shows that big power brick)  Then they'll stop making their systems in Mexico, because the dust down there makes the fan louder.

Sony said that they would make a second sixaxis that would have vibration. So Sony is getting it even.

Nobody shows it because no one can see it. It's to the back of the TV and does not bother a soul. You got to hand it to Sony for making gaming all about movie play back. Hell if I want a blu ray player or HD DVD player I wouldn't look for it in a console.

This certainly isn't the first time M$ has copied Sony's controller design. Or need I remind you who put rumble inside a controller first? Who put two joysticks on a contr first? Who had four shoulder buttons first? And although Nintendo did innovate the motion sensing in this gen. Sony actually used the tech first with Warhawk on the PSX. Look up that old school thingy and you'll realize who has been innovating controllers all along.
