It seems as if 8bitjoystick has indeed confirmed the development of a Microsoft Wii-like remote for the Xbox 360, after MTV News initially broke the news. The picture above is a mock up of what the controller could look like. It’s said that Microsoft’s new controller has been in development since last summer and could hit the market by the end of this year. The new remote, which will be shaped very much like the original Wii controller, will feature a microphone, four face buttons, and an analog stick, based on the last reported prototype. The hope for Microsoft is to not focus solely on the prototypical “Wii Sports” games, but to also incorporate it with the popular Xbox games such as Halo & Gears of War. It has also been mentioned that Microsoft is developing an avatar system for Xbox Live, much like the one on the Nintendo Wii. Learn more about the rumored Xbox Wiimote here.
