My vote goes for PC... unless you use keyboard & mouse on console. Yeah, sure wiimote is similar to mouse, but with larger resolutions it doesn't have as good sensitivity as mouse(Wiimote resolution is 800xsomething if I remember correctly.). Using traditional console controller for FPS feels like riding a tank and thats how it shouldn't feel... unless of course its a tank game. :D

The Wii remote is capable of aiming at any given pixel on a screen and is going to be much faster than a mouse when dealing with multiple enemies within one's field of vision. I don't know how it could be more "accurate" than pixel-by-pixel, or how the speed could be reasonably improved when one has the ability to anchor perspective, as one can in Corruption.

Ok, I was wrong about resolution. Anyway, its not able to aim at any given pixel on a screen. When you up the resolution enough, wiimote resolution just isn't accurate enough. Mouse 'resolution' is enough always because it goes from one pixel to another.

 

The wiimote contains an infrared camera with 1024x768 resolution, which can see the infrared leds of the wii sensor bar (or any other infrared leds for that matter).

(That doesn't mean it can do 1024x768, because what it tracks is infrared leds and those can be larger than one pixel and because of that working resolution depends on how you implement recognizing part of your program.)
