What an original design
It's nice to see innovation like this come out of the gaming industry. Next Sony will make a device that utilizes never before used touchscreen technology. I love that Sony and Microsoft are the only companies in the gaming hardware market
Yeah, hopefully they won't base the entire value of their system off a novelty that really doesn't add much to gameplay other then a bunch of random waggling. What are we talking about again?
"Next Sony will make a device that utilizes never before used touchscreen technology"
See the Zune HD. And then proceed to lol
Squeeballs and freedom sticks. This is gonna be a good comment thread.
Yeah, it's a perfect storm of awful names.
was it named french stick before it got renamed?
That's what she said.
(what? I am just getting it in before all of the obvious comments...)
My friend is at that booth at E3. From what I hear it will be a good demonstration. He got to play with it for a while with 3 others and told me is was extremely accurate. Facial recognition, wonder how the voice stuff will work with all the people.
He's in the demonstration... I don't think I worded that right.
Am I the only one who first read in the title, "squeezeballs"?
I almost wrote it in my comment. I think that's what they should have named them. Goes better with the freedom sticks.
The largest part of the Xbox 360's market is males 18-25...
That is just about the most direct Wii Remote clone possible. They're not even pretending to try on this one.
Nah:

And there are direct copies of the wii remote... I just didn't bother to google anymore.
Just tell me when i can buy the Vii and Vii2 collections on it on XBL.
Its official, E3 sucks this year because apparently only Nintendo can keep their pants on, and thats because they have nothing.
People say that every year now. And I guess they're right.
Won't stop the Haloites from going apeshit at the ODST announcement. Sometimes you just know you want something so badly you can get excited no matter way.
Blizzard has been keeping it pretty hush hush. But yea, a lot of slips this year.
It's easy for Blizzard to keep quiet when they don't have anything new to announce; their new MMO isn't anywhere near ready enough to show off yet...
lol really
idk how but sony is gonna do something to compete
The Wii is now obsolete.
Well... hmm... now we gotta see how it performs in comparison to the wiimote plus.
...meat sticks.
i just submitted this to joystiq about 30 minutes ago wow someone must be watching me "spooky"
did any one else read that as squeeze balls?
wow, are you kidding? I actually think nintendo could sue.
Nintendo didn't invent waggle. There were tennis and golf motion-sensing games in Kentia Hall at E3 the two years before Wii was announced.
I have multiple PS2 controllers with motion sensing. Nintendo didn't invent any of the things they commonly claim to have
Uhh... you guys know this is not made by Microsoft right. This is a thrid party hardware devleoper. I bet it won't ship.
Didn't notice that. I bet it ships though.
It will ship, and it will be about as high quality and loved by gamers as are those lovely third party pelican and nyko craptrollers.
Seriously, this has fail written all over it.
If you run this through the Bush era detranslator, it says you'll be buying french sticks. I have to wonder... do they taste good?
BASTARD! That's MY joke! Give it back to me!
Are you Americans still hooked on that? Jeez you never forgive a country do you.
They're FRENCH sticks.
Oh we Americans have totally forgiven you. In case you all hadn't noticed, most of us stopped liking Bush/Iraq War years ago :)
not impressed and I just saw on gamestop that this game is coming to wii as well! It won't do well on 360 if its on wii if ya ask me!
Hate MS but have to say Thanks to MS, hopefully this lights a fire under Nintendo and makes them unveil a REAL NEXT GEN SYSTEM!
wow, will you guy STFU about motion sensors being some proprietary nintendo technology? does anyone here remember motion controllers for PC games back in the late 90's?? Hell, I remember playing Microsoft Motocross Madness with a motion controller in a tradeshow 10 years ago!
@ MIke Crazy....LOL
god dammit microsoft dont copy others unless you copy and make a better copy thats the rule in technology.
