Microsoft getting a new controller?

*Rumors* New controller for the 360 in the making. Nothin completely innovative or inntuitive, but more simpler. Microsoft has shown they like the Wii, but maybe their scared?

Their have been many rumors of Microsoft of making big changes like this in the past, i think this if any change at all will be small.

Microsoft made it clear that they do not support the motion sensing controllers, and they have been asked many times if they would impliment it in the 360...theyve been straightforward about it and they say no, and that the camera and accessories are the innovative route they are takingREVOLUTIONfreak

Sounds like your saying that xbox controller is perfect. But hey if thats wat u think, tell them that they are the was hinting of controller changes.gamer0100

I played 360 once, yet, I got used to the controller really fast so I'm guessing that it's pretty good. quite an upgrade from the original XBox controller aka <Mammoth> *shudders*.

Still, Microsoft doesn't seem to have fully learned their lesson on the subject of gigantic contraptions, have you seen that AC adapter? It's bigger and heavier than anything I can realistically conceive on this earth. If you haven't seen that thing before, try and check it out, it really warrants at least a short look! :lol:

I could care less about Microsoft. But the controllers sure have a sexy design :P

yeah i agree i hide my adaptor in case a thief comes so i can bash him over the head with it, its so fricking huge but the pad is nice and small thank god. sufian2

Anyone think that Microsoft is scared of the launching of the PS3 and Wii.

hmmm....i dont think they really have reason to be scared. 

Nintendo will probably help their 360 sales because of the while wii60 thing, and plus Microsoft seems to be supporting Nintendo's initiative to change the industry

Sony's pricing will pretty much make up anyones mind on whether to get a 360 or ps3.  $200 is a big price difference for such little change in graphical abiltities.  Plus their whole motion sensing PS2- mock up controller will be a flop.  If developers want to use motion sensing theyll make a wii game, and they can do it for less money.

I predict this war to be the opposite of what other people predict.  I expect Nintendo and Microsoft to be the big competitors this next gen, no 360 and ps3

Dude i disagree,they should definatley see them as a threat, anyway they would be stupid not too after all they rushed their product to market to shorten the gap in sales of the last generation (which was supposedley 10 million units less then Sony).  I personally am skeptical of the ps3 this time around and think its headed for a big fall mainlly due to its price, but if they continue with their software library then their is no question that they will screw the 360.  Btw i agree that Nintendo is not part of this next generation because they are taking a whole new perspective i the game industry, however i do think that Microsoft should not be too scared since they do have an awsome product with a great future ahead and definatley a new generation to plan for at least.  sufian2

and i cant see them copying nintendo
microsoft aint that bad, unlike sony *cough copiers*

I guess you are right in a way but you have to realize that all the big improvments in specs for the ps3 and 360 are in processing speed graphics memory and so forth, and seeing that nintendo has barley made any strides in this actual area it is acceptable for them to say they are not part of the next gen war.  I mean Nintendo have completley turned what the industry has gotten used to and so it is bound to be headed for a whole new leaque of its own.  After all for you to have a console war you have to be fighting on the same basis otherwise how do u measure who is winning.  The only flaw as i see it with my argument, however is the fact that they all fight for more profit and higher maket share so in a sense they do have a measure for how well you are doing.

it seems they are going to use a camera that will detect movement via the shiny logo on the controller, i don't know how that would work...and i don't think i've seen hardcore evidence yet. just something i saw on some website (really reliable info here - i know)

overall, i don't think it's a big deal. and once again M$ is being a fanboy of N, they really admire Nintendo it seems - even wanted to buy them a few years back.

i reserve the right to be wrong.
