Wow, you obviously don't know what you are talking about. With your amazing reasoning skills, if you knew that this actually came out before the Les Paul for Wii was even conceived, then you would say that the tilt functionality was an idea taken from the XBoard. Seriously, all the Wii Les Paul's tilt does is activate Star Power, and that was something that was done in earlier controllers by probably a gravity-powered microswitch that would simply fall when it was tilted up. Oh, and another fact that I will tell you is that there are NO gyroscopes in this controller, it simply takes pressure readings from each side and translates them into analog stick movements. I don't think that you Wii fanbois yet realize how unrevolutionary the Wii is. Less powerful than the original Xbox, only enough graphics power to render 480p when maxed out, and a controller with a system reliant on an ages-old technology we call IR, and I will not forget the lack of an internal hard drive or a reasonable amount of internal memory, and that Nintendo is always a step behind in storage technology. Last-generation, they used half-sized DVDs, while everyone else used DVDs, and now they use single-layer DVDs (except for Brawl) while the competition uses Blu-Ray (only really has an effective storage space of about 5GB on a single layer) and Double-Layer DVDs.
You can relax now, I'm done with my Wii-bashing for the day.
