motion controller for the 360?

We've seen evidence before of Microsoft wishing it was Nintendo, and now we have even more proof with the announcement at the GDC 09 of the GameTrak Freedom, a wireless motion-pointer controller for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. In an interesting move in the software side of this new controller, the maker PDP has acquired game development company In2Games and is launching a game called Squeeballs that will include the Freedom with its release. Will this new innovation make the 360 more competitive with the Wii, and will we see more family-oriented games using the pointer or will it just adapt to the existing genres on the 360 now? We'll see!
