Hardcore gamers have known for sometime that it’s not too difficult to add motion-sensing functionality to the 360. With homebrew add-ons being worked on for the last year or so like the Xilt mod , it seemed only a matter of time before MS decided to release their own peripheral.
It appears Microsoft has contracted the Saratoga, California firm, Gyration to handle the peripheral. If that name sounds familiar, it’s for good reason. Gyration is the company responsible for the prototype designs of the Nintendo Wii-mote, which we all know has become a huge success. Most recently, the company was in the spotlight for creating a motion-sensing remote for Microsoft’s Media Center.
While details are still a bit thin on when “exactly” we’ll see this technology, we’re still excited at the prospect of new interactivity with our Xbox 360 games. There's also no word on whether or not the new add-on will incorporate the motion-sensing technology that MS successfully patented last year.
This is absolutely fucking disgusting. If I wanted that gimmick crap in my house, I would have you know, purchased a bloody Wii... the cancer is spreading. :/

I think I lost my faith in Microsoft. They will have to do better than Gears of War and The New Katamari game to lure me back to their system.

the point is, microsoft isn't original, i just didn't think they'd stoop low enough to do this, after bill gates publically anounced that he would never want to do anything motion sensing related with the 360

Akshully, I quite dislike Microsoft, and the 360. But it's the lesser of three evils, and the only system that has any decent games at present.
and lol @ u thinking they won't find a way to force it into our homes.

Point is, this is just a rumor. I believe that even if Microsoft is looking in to a motion-sensing controller, it will probably debut on their next system, not the 360. It's too late in the game for them to try and promote a new and totally different controller as the standard.

A. Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away.
This of course, is a flawed statement.
So a bright Anonymous decided to change it with "moonwalk away", and a corresponding image was created, and it was good.
