Xbox Microsoft boss Peter Moore has hinted at a change in strategy for Xbox 360 going into 2007, to compete with the mainstream appeal of Nintendo's fun-focused Wii.

"From a first-party point of view, it's not just about E-rated games, it's going to be about the experience that, quite frankly, Nintendo has done a tremendous job in capturing, in bringing back fun - if you will - to the gaming platforms," said Moore in an interview with Game Informer.

"But we've got a few tricks up our sleeve as well to be able to do that. It's not something that we're going to be shy about, and it's not something that we're not painfully aware of that needs to be changed by this holiday. That has been the strategy all along, and we'll be making some more announcements in the coming month or two."

Could Microsoft, the only company in the console war without a motion-sensing controller, be cooking up some sort of motion-controlled trickery?

I am thinking probably something different. Maybe something like the eyetoy where it senses your actual movements and not just your controller movements.

before you know it, theres a wii emulator!... highly doubt that will happen, but the motion sensor addon for a 360 would be fun, i know THAT would be possible

Love it. Microsoft doesnt say Nintendo Wii has gotton "lucky" or "temporarly in the good", they say that they did a great job at what they tried to get.

Awesome Microsoft. Keep these thoughts, and dont became arrogant.

Microsoft has eye-toy like functionality with the Vision Cam, however, the one game that works for it now isn't very cumbersome to play with.
