Don't bet on it, but that's the rumor du jour stumbling drunkenly from the gossip mills today to land on the splash pages of blogs everywhere. According to the aptly named Xbox360Fanboy, they've received a tip "from a source close to Microsoft's marketing department" that Microsoft is planning to position its forthcoming $200 Xbox 360 Arcade bundle in direct competition with the Wii.
So far, so good, so not a revelation.
Continues Xbox360Fanboy, the new SKU will come with all the usual Arcade paraphernalia as well as the new fall update and a motion controller with a couple motion-control mini-games, purportedly developed by Rare. For existing 360 owners, Xbox360Fanboy says the motion controller is set to be sold separately and bundled with a pricey stash of "mini motion controlled games." I think they meant motion-controlled mini-games, but I digress.
Nothing's as delectable as eating my own words, but I'm thinking probability levels on the scale of a meteor striking the planet in the next 60 seconds and making this post blazingly irrelevant.
