First place: goes obviously to wii motion plus since it is here already, revamping an experience Wii owners have since '06 when Sony and Microsoft weren't interested in fad gimmicks. It acts with 1:1 flawlessly accuracy.
Second place: Sony's purple wand. It acts with 1:1 flawlessly accuracy just like the WM+ but it requires a camera. Also, second hand attachment seems not to be available.
Third Place: Not in the same field as Sony and Nintendo Motion Control. Feels like a revamped Eye Toy, adds nothing really new in the gaming market. Project Milo was confirmed by IGN that the trailer shown was pure bullshit, unresponsive character that was just able to recognize a shirt color with the help of a developer controlling the game. For further enjoyment just look at my sig.
WELL BAM! There it is :D

Sony's tech is actually far more advanced then Nintendo's.
Think of this. The Wii Remote can only track arm motions. Even with the balance board you would have limited body motion.
In a game like red steal 2 you have to use the nunchuck joystick to move. Imagine a sword game when while you do have a joystick to do m assive large scale movement. If your bring charged you just take a step to the left, stick the wand aka sword in game out, and the moronic AI charging you rams his head into the sword blade while you side stepped in real life while moving the controller into position for where the sword ingame would be to accomplish the scene I just made up.
So really the real loser in this race is Nintendo. They only track the arms while Sony tracks everything and Microsoft tracks body movement but just not specific point tracking. I don't believe Microsoft's tech would be good at quick and accurate motions of the arm like Sony's wand and the Wii Motion + but should be able to track it well enough to put them ahead of Nintendo.

uh, the obvious problem with the Sony tech is the light tracking itself, it's basically a wiimote with special lights for the camera to track, so what happens when your motion is a little further back or you are wearing clothes that are more loose? poof light's out of the way of the camera! another problem is you can't have mirror like thing where you use it because well, for obvious reasons as well, those are the problems that the WM+ doesn't have. If we want real motion control, lol check this out SSJ, 4 Natals, front, back, left, and right, with 2 Wiimotes with WM+ AND the light on the top of the motes, wanna know how much that'd cost? I don't.

actually the light on the end of the controller isn't really a good thing to question. Its like mo-cap stages' lovely suits. All those lovely purple balls are what the cameras use to track motion. The light just acts as a point of reference. There doesn't even need to be a light as long as lighting is good in the area and the ball or whatever they end up shaping the controller and it has some form of inteligent software to track specific points on an object like mo-cap stages.
if i remember right the PS Eye handles darkness quite well too as I have done some late night video chats with little issue with darkness.
Still yes that would be an amazing and perfect setup. But why not just install a mo-cap stage into the room?

but then again you are describing software, it'd be more advanced software, the Wiimote/WM+ is still more advanced tech by itself, Sony is just adding in the camera tracking, the Sony wand as far as I can see only has basic wiimote functions.
edit: mo-cap stage costs even more duh =P
