This is just a snippet, yes a snippet, of a long article on this topic. Check th link below for more info.
Rumors have abounded regarding an upcoming motion control device for the Xbox 360, purportedly codenamed “Newton” — first, a loquacious anonymous source told MTV that such a controller is in development with support from developer Rare, and next 8bitjoystick pegged patents from Gyration, the same company responsible for Nintendo’s Wii remote technology, as the likely tech behind Microsoft’s top-secret project.
Gyration, however, unequivocally denied yesterday that it has any such project in development with Microsoft. However, talking to Rare, Microsoft and a company called Motus revealed more items of interest regarding the “Newton” —
“There’s absolutely no truth to the rumors, and I have no idea where they’re coming from,” said a genuinely perplexed-sounding Zac Rivera, the PR rep for Movea Inc., the company that purchased Gyration in January 2008. He added, “Gyration is working on some game-related projects, but it won’t be announced until later this year, and it is not related to the Xbox 360.”
However, when it comes to motion controls, Gyration is not the only game in town. Boston-based Motus also develops motion controller tech for games, and, looking into the company for possible information on the “Newton,” we learned that it has an existing product on the market already called the “Darwin.”

This is a pretty interesting article from the NY times. I pasted to whole article here, because I want some responses from this.
Nintendo sits atop the home video-game market. Its Wii, though less technologically advanced than Microsoft’s Xbox 360 or Sony’s PlayStation 3, continues to outsell those machines and is now in more than 20 million homes.
So why are retailers having so much trouble selling Wii games?
Take Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was one the most hotly anticipated video games of the year; it sold more than 1.4 million copies during the first week of its release, in early March, and broke records for Nintendo of America.
“We certainly have a built-in fan base for Smash,” said Denise Kaigler, Nintendo of America’s vice president for corporate affairs. “I’m hoping that we can continue to generate success and awareness of the game.”
None of these are …
