The motion-controlling Wiimote and SIXAXIS seem to be taking the console gaming world by storm, but they are weaksauce, at least according to Microsoft. I’ll just let Microsoft’s Chris Satchell do the talking:
One thing I’m not certain of is that third parties are super-excited about that motion control—or at least they’re not showing it with the games that are hitting the shelves yet. We’re yet to see a really good game on Wii that really says ‘OK that control kicked ass’.
Okay, no-go on the Wii, we get it. What about PS3 and the SIXAXIS?
I think the jury’s way out on that. I don’t know if it’s really that meaningful or not. So I think the jury’s out on whether everybody really wants [motion control] so we’ll wait and see.
I’ll be expecting my motion-control Xbox 360 controller by the holiday season, all right? Oh wait, it’s already been done.
