Actiga's Qmotions Subsidiary Signs Agreement with Microsoft; Company to Launch Next-Gen Wireless Controllers on Xbox 360
Actiga Corporation (OTCBB:AGAC), a leading pioneer in active
video gaming products and services, today announced that Qmotions, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Actiga, has signed a North American licensing
agreement with Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq:MSFT), allowing Qmotions to
incorporate Microsoft’s Xbox 360 wireless
technology in its game controllers. Under the agreement, Qmotions will
produce a full-range of products that will be officially endorsed by
Microsoft.
"This is a milestone event for our company
that now enables us to design, develop and market a unique range of
wireless products, bringing the excitement of action gaming to a whole
new level on the Xbox 360 system,” said Amro
Albanna, chairman and CEO of Actiga. "We are
excited to have been chosen as a Microsoft partner, particularly at this
early stage of technology development where the award of Microsoft’s
wireless accessory agreement continues to position us at the cutting
edge of technology.”
"Our aim with the Xbox 360 system is to broaden the consumer videogame
experience and ensure a perfect match between the console, the
peripherals and the game," says Scott Loomis, Xbox Third Party
Peripheral Program Manager. "Qmotions has proven their commitment to
providing a variety of innovative and high quality peripherals to
enhance the video gaming adventure. We will work closely with Qmotions
to ensure the best experience for our Xbox 360 players."
The first application of the technology will be seen in the second half
of 2008 when Qmotions launches a new line of wireless active game
controllers. The company’s first wireless
product introduction will be the Qmotions-Big Air action game
controller, a full size skateboard that operates with the Xbox 360 and
is compatible with popular skateboarding games.
