Microsoft working on Wii remote ripoff for Xbox 360


The Nintendo Wii's remote, with its motion sensing abilities, have made the console a breakout success, with it still difficult to come by in stores well over a year after its launch.
So is it really any surprise that Microsoft is looking to pretty much rip the Wiimote off completely for its Xbox 360 controller? According to MTV News, a source within Microsoft alleges that a motion-sensitive controller and Mii-like avatar system are being developed for release at the end of the year. Will these things help the Xbox destroy the Wii in the battle of the consoles, or will it just feel like a cheap ripoff? Time will tell.
