I was outraged when Sony first unveiled SixAxis controls. This occurred about one or two years after the Nintendo Revolution's motion capable remote was revealed. But it failed to the best of my knowledge, as not a lot of games used it well, I don't know, I don't own a PS3. Even after Wii's motion controller was the clear cut winner, I still couldn't believe what Sony tried to pull off.
And now it's Microsoft's turn.
I nearly shit myself when I first saw this atrocity on X-Play. A little Google later, and I find this: http://www.become.com/pocketchange/xbox-wiimote.jpg. Now anybody who reads this can argue me down and defend the 360 as much as they want, but I think Microsoft's just a bit jealous of the numbers.
21,281,253 Wii's sold as of right now. 18,380,440 360's sold as of right now.
How? The 360 is the superior console. And I can say that, I own both. It has HD capabilities, superior online play, better graphics, and great games. (Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears of War, etc.) Wii is just more accessible to everyone. No non gamer will ever play Halo and make use of it. They wouldn't be able to tell look from move, jump from melee. They'd be the whipping boy. Give a non gamer Wii Sports Tennis, and any Pro could have a worthy opponent on his/her hands. 360's got a fan base, Wii just has innovation. Microsoft just wants to belong.
Which brings me to the foul language. If Microsoft wants to make another fucking innovation into video games, they shouldn't make a blatant knock-off of an existing and prominent piece of hardware, as theirs will likely be a piece of shit like SixAxis, and this other remote Sony's making: http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13250/Sony-Patents-WiimoteKiller-Game-Controller/ (Finally,I can grasp items for real?) Invest your research dollars into something new.

A very respectable arguement. (dont bitch at me for defending, thats right the wii) The wii also has some mediocre but still has hdmi chords you can buy at the store. Also this is how I end my old arguement about how chris was saying loz tp was the same graphics wise on gc as wii(srry im putting this all in a comment but its not needed as a post)nut the wii would have hd capabilities that the gc would not.
The Wii can only achieve ED (enhanced definition) not HD. It is still better than GC's SD.
