We all know how good Nintendo Wii is doing. Hell they are still having a tough time keeping the damn machine in stock at most stores. They have been able to tap into a much bigger market than other companies have like Sony and Microsoft. Yeah the Wii has simplistic controls and Nintendo uses their controls to take full advantage of the games they make, even though third party game makers are failing horribly at making good Wii games. Nintendo has still been able to bring in a bigger crowd, especially a crowd of non hardcore gamers and people who just don't play games at all. So Microsoft is now working on a little wiimote of their own, hoping to tap into that more casual, accessible market that Nintendo has been able to reach.
What was previously thought to be a rumor, seems to be more of a reality now. 8Bit Joystick has an article as they talk to a close friend who works with Microsoft. So the current codename of this wiimote seems to be "Newton" we'll have to see what happens and if this will change anything for 360 but chances are it will most likely be another failure like the live cam just due to the fact that developers wont waste time making games for the "Newton" controls.
