Motion control, Microsoft Game Studios' replica Cartier w3107255 watch corporate vice president Phil Spencer told Kotaku, will change what gamers expect from games "Much like with multiplayer, I think it will become the norm," Spencer said "If you are a racing game without multiplayer the game just didn't sell.
