Rumored motion-sensing Xbox 360 controller to use Wiimote technology

It’s everyone’s guess if Microsoft will actually release a motion-sensing controller that rumors lead us to believe. However, skeptics may be hard pressed to debunk speculations and hopefuls who want waggle on their Xbox 360 consoles could possibly see their wishes granted soon. Another reporter, one who earned merit by calling the Bungie-Microsoft split, is claiming “Newton” exists. Details await at the full article.

Jacob Metcalf, known for being the first to tell everyone about Bungie Studios leaving Microsoft, shared his own findings about the rumored motion-sensing controller for the Xbox 360 said to be called “Newton.”

Metcalf reportedly confirmed details known about the mysterious controller, and claimed that it will share the same patented technology Nintendo employed for its Wii Remote.

According to Metcalf, Microsoft will use motion-sensing technology owned by the company Gyration which also gave Nintendo a hand. He was quoted saying:

Legally Microsoft is not ripping off Nintendo but rather licensing the technology from the same place that Nintendo got it. For an example the Guitar Hero and Rock Band controllers both use the same patent that is owned by Konami that they developed for Guitar Freaks.
