So What Happened to the Newton Xbox 360 Motion Controller?

From seattlepi.nwsource.com:
[QUOTE]
It has been a while since I have typed the name "Newton" as in the semi-secret Xbox 360 motion controller wand project. So what happened to Newton?

There are two possibilities:
1. It was delayed and they are still working on it. Either the software or games is not ready.
2. It was canceled and it will never reach market. They might have decided that it was not going to work in the Xbox accessory lineup.

They might end up using the research from the Newton project on project Phoenix (the third generation Xbox AKA 720) or it might be introduced in 2009.

Release it for the new 360 please. The xbox is awesome because it focuses on games. We don't need Microsoft wasting their time on silly peripherals while there are major issues to be addressed and fixed.

Some people don't learn, ROMOURS ARE NOT ALWAYS TRUE, buy a freaken Wii if you want a motion controller.

Ok, let's summarize the article. We haven't had an article about something in a while, so let's speculate on every aspect of every aspect of this accessory, another article with nothing to say. rolleyes.gif

I like how they say there are 2 possibilities, when they listed 6.

Project Phoenix? I hope Microsoft continue to push new hardware and don't do a "nintendo" on us and offer us a 360 with a motion controller aka nitendo wii for it's next generation.

Good.

I don't want it, it won't work as well as the Wii's and would not cause anyone to buy a 360 vs Wii just because it offers motion control.
