Xbox 360 motion-sensing controller rumor returns, complete with picture and features list |

A tipster from Engadget purports that Microsoft is flexing its innovative muscles to beat the Wii in the field of motion-sensing, complete with their own sensor bar that will detect not only waggles of controllers but FULL BODY MOVEMENT and sound -- even without the controller.
Supposedly, there are two sensors on the bar, as well as a mic and a camera. While the tipster has "no idea" how the whole thing works, at least he got to sneak out with the features list - and a picture to boot:
- Full body and hand gesture control of games / characters.
- In fighting games you kick, punch, duck, dive, jump and so forth with your body.
- It also picks up small hand gestures like pinching, grabbing and scrolling.
- There will also be video conferencing and games with video.
- Trivia game over the internet with live images of each person playing. When a question pops up, they can clap to buzz in.
- You can "move objects on your screen" and the other party can see what you're doing in real time.
- Sensor detects only the person playing, not folks observing on the couch.
Microsoft's been denying it for almost two years now, but maybe the time is ripe to unveil this motion-control technology for the Xbox 360? Or maybe wait another, oh I don't know, month? You know, in June? At the E3?
Maybe, maybe. Hold your horses. It's all intriguing, but it's also just a rumor at this point.

Besides the video conferencing this seems sort of useless. If someone is going to buy a system because of motion sensing they're just going to go with the Wii anyway.
Also the fighting game idea is stupid. Unless you're on an easy difficulty the opponent will be throwing out moves way faster than you can move your body. And what do you do if you want to do a special attack or something? How would you go about using your hadouken in Street Fighter IV?

Anyway, I hope this is fake, bad enough I turn off the motion control on my PS3 in every game that tries to tack it on, I don't need something else out there that I'll never buy use or think about, its just too much for one man to not givadamn about.
