The Xbox and gaming blogs have picked up some statements from Peter Moore at Microsoft Game Studios and are running with the thought that motion controllers will be a next step in the evolution of the Xbox 360 platform.

Here’s key quote from an interview in Game Informer:

“It’s actually not games. It’s more experiencial than that. And again, since the day I saw Iwata-san pull the nunchuck controller out from under his podium a few years ago at TGS, I’ve always realized that was the right thing for Nintendo to have to do for what they needed to do to be successful in this next generation. And it was always going to be a challenge for us. So, we have plans. This does not come as a surprise. Our strategy has been laid out for us years in advance, and you’re going to see some of that this next holiday and beyond.”

We’re not sure if this we’ll take this as an announcement of intent, but we do believe that the Wii has opened a lot of eyes to the benefits of motion-sensing and motion controllers.
