Check out this video of the upcoming Xbox Experience where you can create avatars for yourself. The demo feels SO much like the Mii creation process, it isn't funny. Even the little sounds and music in the background feel like they're lifted right from the Wii. C'mon Microsoft, how about something original instead of just keeping up with the Joneses.

Except the Xbox avatars look alot better, more customizable, more animated, more choice of proper clothing rather than just colour of the shirt. Nintendo's Mii system is basic beyond basic! At least Microsoft are prepared to go one step further and allow the user to do whatever they want with their character. Cant wait to wear that cowboy hat

Agreed. It's a rip-off, you can't deny it, but it looks like a lot more fun. Originally Posted by Cerium

Cerium, for eff's sake, Sonic Unleashed is going to be awful. Just accept it.
Anyway, I'll be sticking with my gamer pic.

First Nintendo, then PS3, then 360. what Nintendo SHOULD be doing is working on an update to the Mii channel instead of shelling out all the crap games out right now... the 360 version is definitely a rip-off but still looks great.
