MS Changes their Minds Again.... Now they Want Motion-Sensing Controllers

It's not bad but TLHBO SERIOUSLY IF IT'S TRUE. I remember the ''Sony teh copycat'' and ''lol motion sensing = gimmick''

*Move arms to swing a sword*
*Bring X to swing a sword*
*Do stupid moves to perform a super duper attack*
*Right right down left B to perform a super duper attack*
Not gimmick my ***.

I could care less if they added motion sensing or brain sensing garbage. Its a freaking toy that is meant to play game. Now play games!

options are bad?CaseyWegner

I won't have a problem if they make it optional on all games unlike the Wii, that forces the Wackmote on all games.redneckdouglas

[QUOTE="-voodoo_child-"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"][QUOTE="-voodoo_child-"]No, the point he was making was that MS keep changing their mind to the point of being contradictive and hypoctritcal, " First, they decided to support HD-DVD. They were wrong since HD-DVD will be the next betamax (even an MS rep admitted it). Now they're thinking of giving up on HD-DVD by the end of 2007. Second.......... Third..........."The_Game21x

They did not say that HD DVD was the next betamax. All they said is that it could be the next betamax, which is true, and the same could be said about Blu-ray.

Since when has MS said that they are thinking of giving up on the format? I have yet to see them say anything on that subject..

Well, you really shouldn't use already weak arguments to back up your own. :)

"MS is really screwing customers with all these "add-ons" that should have been included with the original console."

whether it was the main point or not, it was still something he said.

              MS just make it the Xmote w/rumble sell it for same price as regular controllers and take away compititions insane argument that it's the revalutionary controller that matters not the hardware specs and the games it can produce. A Wiw Wiw for all; if you want it buy it - if not don't.

              Options are always good, being forced to consume is not !

No it didn't. :|

Steam was announced in 2002 and XBL debuted on Nov. 15, 2002. There's no way they could've copied that in that short of a timeframe. The XBLinfrastructure had to have been in place months before it became a reality.

I'm not an idiot or a fool, i'm not going to pay $500 more to buy another 360 that has HDMI which i could give a **** about, the only way MS would be ripping off consumers is making future games in HD-DVD which would force consumers to buy a HD-DVD add one, and motion sensing? Just no.Riviera_Phantom

To cows they are.

Cows prefer to have everything bundled.

On Topic: I don't mind motion controllers as long as they are implemented well.

I'm not suprise since wii is doing well right now. We all know MS is known for stealing others idea.

lol, nintendo really is influencing the industry.cobrax80

 First, they decided to support HD-DVD. They were wrong since HD-DVD will be the next betamax (even an MS rep admitted it). Now they're thinking of giving up on HD-DVD by the end of 2007.

Second, they thought that HDMI wasn't necessary. They realized they were wrong again so now they're putting HDMI on the next 360 models.

Third, they released a controller without motion sensors because they thought it wasn't next gen. Now they're changing their minds and planning of releasing motion sensing controllers.

Since they can't make up their minds, MS is really screwing customers with all these "add-ons" that should have been included with the original console. They're making all these changes on the 360 only 15 months after it's launch, why don't they just give up on it and release a new system instead of miking their customers for more and more money?

This is not a surprise, motion sensing is the way forward and MS don't want to be left behind and have another failed generation although I think they may do better just sticking to what they are already doing but throwing in a price drop.  Whether sales have indicated it in the past or not Nintendo has been the leading example in this industry for years and continue to do so with the Wii.csliney

It is not changing your mind.  It is called evovling and expanding to give ther customers what they want. 

 I love all the Add-ons that are coming out for the 360.  This way instead of making people buy all the stuff from the start, they let there customers choose which pieces they want to add to their system.  

 So far they have not made one add-on that is Mandatory, every single game except Final Fantasy MMORG can be played on a core xbox 360.   Please tell me how this is a bad thing.  At least they are making changes, Sony is sticking to the fact that they were right and their system is perfect. Yeah Right.

So a new type of controller is necessary for play even though absolutely no games support it at the moment?

Sheesh, what will fanboys think of next. :roll:

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]options are bad?Ibacai

Nobody bashed Sony for Using HDMI where did you even get that from.  That does not even make sense, why would people bash HDMI.  What people bashed is the fact that they did not provide an HDMI cable or any other HD hook up. 

I also do not think they ever bashed Motion Sensing either, they just bashed Sony for Obviously tacking the motion sensing on near the end.  I mean even the developers were suprised at E3 when they found out about it.  The game WARHAWK that most incorporated the six-axis has been canceled.

I hope to god Microsoft doesn't do motion sensing. It's good with the Wii, but it's awful with the PS3.BioShockOwnz

I disagree.. Ya it's kinda difficult to get used to the sensitivity but once you get used it, It does bring more excitement to the game.

Ugghh...another add-on. Just announce to me the 65nm chip set that doesn't routinely get the 3 red lights of death and I'll purchase one. Make some good games. I sit about 6 feet from my TV that's a SDTV. I don't need wireless controllers or HDMI ports. I just want to play awesome games. No wonder Microsoft can't pull themselves out of the 4 billion dollar hole.DrHyde
