Microsoft motion controller why?

What is the point of Microsoft releasing a Wii like motion controller is anyone who posts on Gamespot or any hardcore gamer for that matter actually going to use it when will Microsoft stop trying to be Nintendo and invent new original ideas?

Because it sells... if people like apple juice... and apple juice sells well... why not sell more apple juice...

Yep on the above post.If they think it will make money and a profit they will sell it.I personally would not use one since I dont like the concept of it.

I prefer pressing a button, as opposed to waving my controler around violently simply to achieve the same result.

X-Box waggle controller? No thank you...

To make money of course, why else.

Personally, I have never tried the Wii remote, but Itried my friends PS3 sixaxis controll and thought it was bloody awful. They may have improved it, but at the time (tried it with an F1 game and some dragon riding game) it didnt work for me at all.

because no one can come up with an original idea anymore. first sony copies the wii mote with the sixaxis controller. then they copied the achievment system with their trophies. next microsoft copies the miis with avatars. then sony copies second life with home. this is just the next step. pretty soon well be reading about somthing else one of the companies have copied. just a matter of time. theSickness550

Hopefully they don't integrate this for a while...and by that I mean atleast 20 years...when I'm hopefully dead.

To add motion to the potion.

IF they did, it would have to be pretty heavily integrated into the game. The Wii sells well because of the motion controls and the fact that every game uses the motion controls as where the ps3 uses sixaxis, but not in all games and it's not selling super well. If they wanna make a big difference in sales it's gonna have to be pretty great. In my opinion they would be stupid to do it, they're selling well now why change?

Do not want.

I saw this topic in the System Wars forum , and posted there. But that was a 3rd party motion detection device. In the new Game Informer , they reported Microsoft has acquired rights from 3DV Systems (an Israeli firm) to use it's ZCam Camera. With this device you only need the camera and no other peripherals. They also said it's motion detection is greater than the Wii.

Hopefully we won't end up with a bunch of games like the PS3's Lair.

Anyone who considers them self a hardcore gamer is a muppet, unless your a pro making a living from gaming!

If you read books on a daily basis, are they considered hardcore readers ?.. No

If you play Monopoly with your family most evenings, is that family considered hardcore Monopoly players ?... No.

The majority of individuals who consider themselves hardcore gamers are either delusional or under the age of 14 !

It makes me laugh every time someone on here mentions 'hardcore gamer'.

lol

:P

more laughing.:)

whilst watching the E.A special last week featured in theGAMESPOT showlast week, I watched with amazment as a guy showed off hislatest Wii golfing game.. whilst watching his presentation, viewers could easily see that his motion controller quite obviously hada time lag whilst being operated.. If the developers of these motion controllers had of waited until this technology was perfect before being released onto the gaming market, then perhaps individuals like myself would of taken them a little more seriously.. The only time my behind will ever leave the sofa whilst gaming is if Virtual Reality gameslike the ones featured in 'The Lawn Mower Man' are released.

Not interested...

And if this becomes the standard, im goin back to pc gaming.

Why not!!
