Microsoft denies 'motion sensor' Xbox 360 update

A purported list of Xbox 360 Spring Update features surfaced on Tuesday, lending further credibility to rumors that Microsoft will release a Wii-like motion controller for Xbox 360.
Xbox 360 motion rumors persist
The list of features, obtained by Kotaku from a tipster claiming to be close to an Xbox insider, includes "options for motion sensor devices" and the ability to "store installation data on Storage Device for faster loading" among other things.
In response, a Microsoft official told Joystiq on Wednesday: "We don't comment on rumors or speculation, but what we can tell you is we've never seen this list before."
Rumors of an Xbox 360 motion controller surfaced in late 2007, something Microsoft did not outright deny.
In April, an anonymous developer told MTV News that Microsoft was hastily planning to launch a Wii-like controller later this year, in an effort to compete with the raging success of the Nintendo Wii. Ambiguous comments from both Microsoft and third-party tech companies since then have done little to diffuse the rumor.
Microsoft is currently the only console maker not supporting some kind of motion controls. The Wii uses them for primary input, while the PS3 recognizes secondary gesture-based movements on select games.

Wow, how long have I been saying that this is bogus. Gamespot proved that this was BS weeks ago and Gamepro has still been reporting it as close to fact. Way to go guys. Trying to stir up the flame pot?

MS, SONY, and NINTENDO will deny anything until the last minute just to keep the buzz going around. this is nothing new in the gaming industry

Drop the 360 a few bucks + fix RROD problems= Success for MS.
