    In reference to the 360 "wiimote," am I the only one who's excited at the prospect of combining the Wii's motion controls with the 360's graphic fidelity? I mean, I don't think such a product would harm Nintendo too much, as their marketing campaign and price point has all but solidified their dominance in the casual market (plus a niche hardcore market catered to by games like SSBB and SMG). Hell, even the PS3 market seems it will escape unscathed, as motion controls are hardly the selling point of the console.

    Honestly, the only serious change I see here is additional controls options for gamers and developers - opening the gateway for games that could control like Metroid Prime 3 or Resident Evil 4 Wii, and look like Gears of War or Halo 3.
