I don't think they will do the same mistake as Sony did with the SixAxis gimmick.

Btw, it's not being made by Microsoft.

I have to confess, as a PS3 owner , the motion sensing is pretty much useless in many games...

But, There are a few titles it actually does work in.

Uncharted, while moving across a log... Albeit, Once (he he)

Resistance FOM , shake it to put the flames out, while you, as the player is on fire. Excellent when playing MP.

Dark Sector to control the Flying Glade , but you could turn this off... Lessons learnt from Lair.

But the winner, PSN's High Velocity bowling. Works a treat. Definitely the best implementation (read FUN) of the motion sensing I've seen in a PS3 game.

All I'm saying here is, If MS considers and employs it, and developers implement it PROPERLY, It can actually be a worth while addition.

I also think that sixaxis is implemented pretty well in wipeout HD, Heavenly Sword, LittleBigPlanet and Warhawk, as well as the above mentioned.

Sure, its not for everybody. But I'm glad it was added to the controllers.

just my own little rant about the sixaxis...which i just realized the last post is a palindrome

the implementation for most games sucks. its almost always easier to just turn it off and use the sticks than to actually try and use the motion controls. i find it especially irritating because it does not sense the degree of tilt from left to right, seems more like a "on/off" switch to me, which i find hard to manage.

recently i have been using it for socom, to peek out around corners, and it works fairly well. the big issue im having, however, it throwing grenades. you are supposed to tilt it back in order to throw overhand, or you will just underhand toss it like, 3 feet in front of you. this is a stupid implementation, imo. its tricky to get it to register you tilting the controller back, and there is a unsettling large chance that right before you throw the grenade, it will think that you stopped tilting back, prompting you to granny toss the grenade 5 feet in front of you, rather than 30. perhaps im not understanding the grenade mechanics, but really, the sixaxis has let me down yet again.

and agreed with above, it may not always been great, but at least we have the option of trying it out. theres always the option to turn if off if they suck.

God, don't do tilt sensing. Has to be the worst crap that came for controllers in a while

It's a third party controler. MS is not designing or making it.
