According to Patrick Klepek from MTV's Multiplayer blog, Microsoft is secretly working on a new accessory for its Xbox 360, that will mimic some of the features of Nintendo's widely acclaimed Wiimote. Besides that it seems like Microsoft is ready to go one step further than Nintendo and incorporate into the controller the Xbox Live Vision Camera.

Will they announce the release of Wii-Like controller in 2008?

    I am still waiting for a motion sensing controller by XBox. Come on Microsoft, give us what we want!

    Most likely Microsoft will release such a controller, either as a commercial product, or a product announcement soon. Opensource communities have already developed hacks for making wiimotes work for Linux, Windows and OSX, and another company is releasing an "air-mouse" which is basically a mouse that uses an accelerometer to do similar stuff as the wiimote (but 2D linear motion only).
    There is demand!!! :)

      Seems like this generation of video game console is more about controllers than about raw graphics power.

    I predict Microsoft will do the following before Christmas 2008:
    - Announce a Halo prequel or sequel title, to be released early next year. This is to boost up 360 sales.
    - Release a new hardware device. Can be a whole new controller or Blu-ray external drive.

    It depends on how Wii-like the controller would be. I think Microsoft will definitely develop something that allows for remote controlling gaming. Beyond that, I don't know what else Microsoft will or will not do.

    I agree that it is highly possible. But don't expect the new six-axis remote controller to be too similar to Wiimote. Microsoft will try to avoid possible patent infringement. Well, in reality, no matter how careful Microsoft is, it is hard to avoid lawsuit.

    MS always likes to share others' monopolized market. very likely.
