Miicrosoft?

No that’s not a bad typo Xbox360 Fanboy has posted a story/rumor that the Xbox 360 will be getting a Avatar service which in turn will replace the current Gamerpic’s.As E3 fast approaches , It seems that Microsoft has begun to catch on to the Wii’s massive success and wants in on the casual audience. Various comments on message boards around the net are saying that ‘Microsoft is out of ideas’ and is stealing from Nintendo. I ask how?, Digital avatars have been around long before the Wii. Habbo Hotel being one of the major examples of online avatars which can interact with each other in a virtual world. There has also been rumor of a Wii like motion controller for the 360 called the 'Newton', If Microsoft is serous about the Casual audience, XBL arcade, Avatars and motion sensing and a bit of cleaver marketing and original ideas, they may just have a shot..
