Xbox 360 to adopt Wii control?

Microsoft has always had an issue with its console controllers.   The first Xbox shipped with giant sized pads, and the controller S edition split gamers.   While the Xbox 360 offering is excellent, it seems Microsoft are looking at competition and taking notes.

While Sony has limited motion control abilities with its own Sixaxis controller, it at least offers the option.   Chairman Bill Gates perhaps hinted at what future options releases from the Microsoft Games studio may include, in an attempt perhaps not to be left behind in the minds of consumers?

"Software is doing vision and so, you know, imagine a game machine where you're just going to pick up the bat and swing it or the tennis racket and swing it."

While Gamestyle won't be swinging anything in front of our HDTV just yet, the future may hold an Xbox 360 add-on that brings a new dimension to the bloated 360 release schedule of FPS, racing and fighting titles.
