1:1 movement with the Wii

I've always thought that the Wii can handle absolute position too, because isn't that what the FPSs are based on?

you are mixing up two things now. for fps, the pointer is used like a lightgun. the pointer of course gives you an absolute position. for that you need the sensor bar that you have to put in front of your tv. but whole wii sports did not use the pointer, but the other technology that is inside the wiimote. i don't know how it is called in english, but it is about sensors that are calculating the angles in which you are holding your wiimote. the sensor bar is not used for that.
