That's completely wrong, sorry. The Wii remote can be used in far more games, it has a pointer, more accuracy, an expansion port for the Nunchuk... you get the deal. Basically you can implement the Wii remote in almost every game. Tell me how Wii Sports would play with the Sixaxis' motion controls? Playing Tennis by moving the Sixaxis? Yeah sure. What about Boxing? Right, I need the Nunchuk for it. Baseball? Swining a classic controller doesn't really look cool, eh? |
I understand what you are saying (The Wii Mote is designed better, but thats simply because Nintendo wants that to be your primary means of gameplay), but for the most part overall he is right.
Just because the Wii remote has a pointer, doesn't necessarily mean the Sixaxis couldn't implement one. It's just not necessary since the Sixaxis is more of another feature and not a primary feature.
I don't disagree that certain games would be more difficult to play with just a straight Sixaxis controller. (Tennis comes to mind). If Sony wanted to compete directly with Wii though, they could incorporate similar features. Such as a Tennis Racket that mounts the controller into it. Or other extraneous attachments.
Sony realizes that the PS3 is too highly priced to be that mainstream product that the Wii has become. Even with motion controls. It's just not feasible for them to go all in on the motion sensing department when their console still costs 400$ and remains the most expensive on the market.
Maybe if the PS3 were in the Wii's position we would see more creativity in that department.
