Default Xbox 360 = motion sensing controllers
http://gizmodo.com/377855/more-xbox-...de-name-newton

After MTV News broke the news on Microsoft designing a Nintendo Wii-like Wiimote for the Xbox 360, 8bitjoystick felt it was time to give up their secrets as well. Not only do they confirm that the project exists, but they can give up the codename for it: Newton.

Jake also says that Microsoft has recently licensed patents from Gyration, maker of those gesture mice we all know and don't really care about. Nintendo did the same back in 2001 in order to help develop their own Wiimote
obviously, the image shown is a mockup for the article ... but here we go, the 360 is planning motion sensing game controls.

With the power of the 360 + the controls of a Wii ... this might be a very good thing.

sixaxis is an interesting feature. There is a slight lag with it that can irritate people.

you ever play Mario Kart for the SNES or N64 and get so into it that your entire body rolls with every turn?

Same concept.

The controller picks up the user's body language and translates it into gameplay movement.

In game there are parts where the game asks for movement using the sixaxis and you just tilt the controller as you want to move the character.
