Microsoft: Wii Remote Ripoff is Rubbish

Insiders from Microsoft have stated that the Xbox Remote design that has been floating around is rubbish, and wasn’t created by a Microsoft employee. Apparently, the designs are currently “hourglass” shaped, not square. So the picture was just trying to increase similarity between Mircosoft’s Xbox Remote and the Wiimote.

They still sound pretty similar to me, hourglass shaped or not. But in any case, will be keeping our eyes on just how far Microsoft is willing to ripoff Nintendo. Microsoft is expecting to release the new motion sensitive controller around September, and include it bundled in a game that’ll show off its power. If it is coming out that soon, there’ll be some prototypes to have a look at soon
