1) Oh no, move is more accurate than the Wiimote - Nintendo will have to think of some motion plus system for the Wii. Maybe they could call it Wii Motion+

2) When he said
“Having used both controllers a lot, I’d say it was clear that the Move controller is so much more accurate [than the Wii]," said Scragg. "And it’s not just across the X and Y-axis either, the Z axis is really accurate as well."

He was presumable meaning that the z axis is the 'towards/away from the tv axis'. In which case, he should get the fuck off the internet until he has graduated from a university with a physics degree, or at the very least, stop pretending he knows what he is talking about. By convention, the z axis is the 'up down' axis, and it would be the x axis he is talking about. It is of course alright to use unconventional co-ordinate systems, but you MUST define them beforehand

Nice to see them using all that accuracy to build n awesome....on rails light-gun game....wtf

Except that Sony Managing Producer Kyle Shubel also uses the term Z-depth, so go figure.

It wont suffer at all. To buy a Wii is like $199. To buy a PS3 with Move will set them back at probably $350-400 in a bundle; however, the same goes for the 360 with Natal for new buyers. But the up side is both those companies will offer more mature titles for their peripherals than the Wii and prove the point most have been saying for three years now.

Or maybe since most peple in the field refer to the coordinate axis on the 2d screen plane as x and y, then it's obvious that he meant z as tthe one orthogonal to that...

You know, like the z-index in HTML or in window managers. Or the z-buffer in graphic engines. Or the fact that by default in OpenGL the camera looks along the z-axis (with negative orientation) so that Z is the default depth axis in camera space.

His nomenclature is actually much more correct in the context of computer graphics and interfaces than yours, so maybe he's not the one that should document himself about conventions before speaking?

Frankly, a little bit of humility will always help you before asking someone to "get the fuck off the internet".

PS: a physics major here, though I can't even see why you thought education in physics was relevant to the subject.

The major technical difference between motion plus and Move is that Move knows exactly where you stand in the room. Motion plus doesnt know that, you have a starting point at 0,0,0 wherever you are, the system never know exactly where the player is in the room. So no they are not almost the same tech. PSMove will permit you to move in 3D space, if you move 4 meters from the screen than move back at 1 meter from it the system always knows where you are and will act accordingly. Wii motion plus is far from sensing the same depth. It will sense if you move your arm towards the TV, but theres a major difference in the possible sensing scale. Wii motion plus = precise for small and slow to average movement. PSmove should = precise for any kind of movement + posibility of moving whole body to interact if developers use this function.

The Wiimote's ability to detect depth is based on distance between detected light sources, and it is far less accurate than analyzing a camera image with a clear marker of known size (like a glowing sphere) would be.

Otherwise, I agree, the Wiimote+WMP should be nearly the same as the Move. Spatially, however, the Move's accuracy margins would be measured in millimeters, whereas the Wiimote's accuracy margins would be in terms of centimeters.

It seems funny that when this guy's claims are validly being questioned, you resond with asking why non-PS3 owners are responding to this thread.  This is more than just 'talking about the Move's accuracy'. The wiimote's accuracy is being put into question(ignorantly so if he's not including m+). Why you're not welcoming discussion is what caught my attention. I'll respect your opinions, but others should be able to question it with valid reasons.

I could have rehashed what others have said prior, but wouldn't that be wasting your time?

The Move's ability to detect depth is based on a fixed camera getting the size of a moving light source.  The Wiimote's ability to detect depth is based on a moving camera getting the distance and angle relating to TEN fixed light sources (possibly even using the TV too). The size of these light sources are also taken into consideration. Just go back a few posts in this thread where I posted the sensor bar pic, look at the cluster of 5 LEDs (same setup at the other end of the bar) and have a look at the second patent link. It demonstrates that to detect a difference in size between 3-5 LEDs in a row would require an adequate level of precision, which the Wiimote appears to have had from the beginning.

Meh, they did not even compare to the wm+
moreover the price of these lollipops is so much more expensive ;p
