Microsoft has told games developers to make their Xbox titles ready for a
Wii-style controller, according to an
anonymous
source speaking to MTV.
A motion-controlled remote for the Xbox has been under development by Rare
since August last year, and Microsoft is telling games companies that it will be
ready for next Christmas, according to the source.
But the source added that development is taking longer than planned.
Other developers of Xbox games have confirmed that they have been approached
by Microsoft with the intention of converting popular titles such as
Halo into 'waggle mode'.
Microsoft's pursuing this route is hardly surprising, given the runaway
success of the Wii and Sony's addition of a wand-style controller to the PS3 US
launch in November.
