Underlying MotionPlus tech isn’t a Nintendo exclusive

How very interesting. InvenSense, which is licensing its motion-sensing MEMS technology to Nintendo for that new MotionPlus add-on, has now stated that its Nintendo partnership is “not an exclusive relationship.” InvenSense won’t let slip exactly who else is courting them for the tech, but we have to think the usual suspects (Microsoft, Sony) are at least giving the gyroscopic technology a passing glance. Of course, InvenSense might be looking to folks outside the gaming space as well, and there’s no guarantee Microsoft and Sony would even try for a Wiimote killer this generation, but if the Big Three don’t all have robust motion-sensing controls of some sort ready by the time the next generation rolls around, it certainly won’t be InvenSense’s fault.
