Xbox360 To Get Wii-Type Remote

April 09, 2008 | by Christopher Nickson

Microsoft to follow the trend established by Wii and PS3 and hit waggle mode.

A source has revealed to MTV that Microsoft has instructed games developers to make alterations on their games titles for the Xbox 360 to accommodate a remote control similar to that used by the Wii.
 
Rare has been working on the remote since last August, and Microsoft expects it to be rolled out by Christmas, and developers have confirmed that they’ve been told to convert titles to work with the remote.
 
It’s no real surprise to see Redmond’s finest following this route, given the success of the Wii and its remote and the PS3 with its wand controller.

I know that copying someone else is the sincerest form of flattery, I just hope that Microsoft makes it unique in their own way.
