Those halo fans are the ones i meant when i said there'd be a few people that'd buy the system on launch. It's those consumers that will test the waters for MS's 3rd system and no doubt they'd be the ones to push its to its limits with long gameplay sessions. If it doesnt have the same issues (and no new ones) immidiately i think their safe but as for the way things are going now... i dunno. i said i was someone who had once thought about buying a 360 but with its reputation the way it is.. i don't think i'd want to put my money into it. I think there are alot of people out there who feel the same way i do, and thats why there really is no "next move" with the Xbox 360, just risk that this bad rep wont come back to bite them

Bill Gates is super rich and probably thinks all consumers can just toss away 4-5 hundred dollars on a console that breaks down after a month. Bill Gates doesn't see 4-500 dollars as a lot of money, and he probably can't comprehend anyone else seeing it as alot of money either.

I don't think many market analysts would have jobs if they thought like that.  I'm sure Microsoft has a few of those.

How do ANY of the market analysts have their jobs.  They got this entire generation as wrongly as possible, placing everybody in every wrong spot.

DS a fad, PSP will kill it with features.
Wii a failure, the entire market wants HD games.  PS3 will match PS2.  360 will make profit.

All have been said by PAID analysts and anybody who said anything cross was ridicule or shouted down.

Hey just cause certain ones talk the loudest doesn't mean **** to me.  I really doubt Billy Gates looks at his consumers so arrogantly and ignorantly.

This news is epic, really. I was going to ask what the hold up is, if they are going to overtly go after the Wii approach, but then I read the article:

Quote
Rare, the Microsoft-owned studio behind Xbox 360's launch first-person shooter "Perfect Dark Zero" and the upcoming installment of the "Banjo-Kazooie" franchise, has been tasked with creating a unified interface and look for the controller. Rare has had trouble hitting its deadlines, according to the source.

 :D Oh Rare... just like old times.

If true, then it's probably a long term prototyping thing to get them ready for the XBox720.

I call BS.  Microsoft knows its key demographic well.  I don't think they would blatantly rip off the Wiimote.

Do they? Perhaps we are going to see a new ideology behind the 360 now with Moore gone. In fact, going by the rumor, it sounds like they very well could have started this shortly after Moore left.

This is probably the 2nd worst thing MS could have done in regards to Wii.  They've basically validated Nintendo's approach.  MS needs to come up with their own innovative technology instead of just aping the #1 guy.  That'll get them nowhere and spread more love for Wii.

(Sony has the distinction of the worst, They just ignored it until it fell 3 laps behind.)

Yes.  And the Mii's will have increased options/functionality in light of Sony's "Home", because MS always takes a cue from Sony when it intends to "aim high".

What I find very ironic about all of this is that the fans and the gaming media have CRAPPED on the Wii for being gimmicky, shallow and way too simple for gamers to the point where it insults their intelligence.

If MS does indeed create a Wiimote knock off it would be further proving how the Wii has massive appeal.
