Dutch company Engine Software has developed technology for Nintendo DSi, which can record and interpret movements of the player .
With this technology it is possible to control games on the DSi by tilting the handheld. Engine Software has developed a prototype game called TILT.
Motion Sensitive games were previously not possible on the DSi, because this technology is not standard in the portable console. The movement is recorded by the camera in the DSi, other accessories are not necessary to make the motion-sensing controls possible. "The technology is extremely complicated, but works brilliantly," said Ivo Wubbels of Engine Software. "It does not matter if you are in the light or in the dark, outside or inside; it always works."
Engine Software is currently developing a game for DSiWare, the download service on the DSi, using this new technology. The game comes out later this year. "We are also planning to include this technology in retail games" said Wubbels.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
"Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware."
It's for the best.
Quit stringing along xbox fans and screwing over PlayStation owners.
An Xbox game on a Playstation. Never in my years of gaming did i ever thought this was gonna happen.
No way can they get rid of the hardware as probably 90% of game pass subscribers are hardware users.
Highly doubtful those users will move to PC or Cloud to subscribe there and the competition (Sony and Nin) will never have gamepass on their system.
If they want to keep the current subscribers, they need to keep releasing new hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
They wont kill it, but they will go fully PC while keeping xbox as a brand, and go multiplatform for the most part. They will also work tirelessly to diminish console gaming’s importance.
It would be best if Xbox goes the way of Sega, just make and publish games. I know I myself will not support them at all with buying games from them, you all can. 🙃
The Xbox brand will live for the games. I don’t expect Microsoft to entirely drop out of gaming hardware. They make Surface tablets and laptops. They’ll make Xbox branded hardware for those that want it.

Forza and Starfield next?
Starfield would be no surprise and there's the rumor that it will come to Playstation after the Shattered Space DLC, Forza (along with Halo and Gears of War) I find less likely but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually end up on PlayStation too, especially if Xbox give up on hardware and go the Sega route.
Not to worried about forza. I'd rather see others like what inxile and obsidian are working on. Starfield sounds like it needs more time in the oven so let it cook first imo. If starfield and it's a small if does release on ps it'll be in the fall around the time for dlc or right at the dlc and come packaged with it.
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
100%!!
I wonder what happened to that dude that was always here posting those court articles with cartoons about MS spending all those billions in studios. He suddenly disappeared, I guess he doesn't like bad news when the green brand is in trouble. No new articles from him as of late...

Here's our guide to the best GPUs for V Rising in 2024, now that the game is out of early access - the best from Nvidia, AMD, and even Intel.
MSI celebrates the 20th anniversary of Monster Hunter with this unique bundle that features a matching RTX 4060 Ti and game controller.
i bought one for my girlfriend this christmas. I knew about all the new features and a lack of a gba slot, in writing it didn't matter to me but when i had the system in my hands it bothered me quite a bit.
To me it's like, how unfair and just plain rude of nintendo to come out with a system that plays DS games but also does other features that DS & DSlite owners will never be able to take part in.
It's really messed up when I think about it.
The whole argument of, well if you want DSi ware, buy a DSi.
That's BS, plain and simple. I've bought 4 ds's now. 1 fat, which i traded in and bought a ds lite. My original ds lite got a crack in it's screen so i bought a new one & this christmas i bought a DSi for my girlfriend. I refuse to buy one for myself, especially since it doesn't even play gba games. I have gba games I still play. Golden Sun 1&2 & The minish cap.
The DSi has/will split the user base and it's complete BS. Nintendo should have just waited and released an entirely new handheld that included dual cameras.
because i get accused of being a troll here's a picture of my dog, which i obviously took with the DSi.
Nintendo is gonna pull through with innovation hopefully this year.
i need this 360 ps3 wii gen to die hopefully the next handheld gen will take me away.
