By now you've read about the rumor on just about every tech site on the Internets - Microsoft is going to release a motion-based camera that controls the Xbox 360. Put simply, it's a camera that tracks your movements and translates it into movement in a game. What gives this rumor a bit more credibility is that is now showing up in mainstream newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal.

According to the Journal's sources Microsoft's camera uses 3-D technology, which gives players more accurate control over games than earlier game cameras didThis backs up earlier reports seen at Engadget and other sites. What does this mean for you? Probably not much because you either own a Wii already or just think that motion-based controls are ghey (they are).

While this rumor has been picked up everywhere now, the fact is that last year MS was supposed to introduce their own Wiimote (seen on the right) at E3 2008 and that just never happened.
