Another thing to note is the range. I can't even use my wiimote from my couch. It's rediculously short ranged >_>

Right, you know the remote can work more than 50 feet away correct?  After the Wii was released there was video after video showing that it could work from pretty far away so...yeah, try doing some research before you lie next time?

-edit-

And I'll say this again, Sony's wands are too little too late.  They may or may not have greater precision but it doesn't really matter.  The Wii has had motion control for three years already and Wii Motion + releases next week.  Sony plans to release the wands Spring of next year.

There are rumors that people are already working on the games, but the wands are far from finished and they only had bad tech demos (that the WM+ is already doing) to show.  If they expect these things to be out next Spring that's only a year of dev time. 

You know what they're going to do with that?

A bad Wii Sports ripoff.

A bad Wii Fit ripoff.

A bad Link's Crossbow Shooting ripoff.

A bad Carnival Games ripoff.

Possibly bad Wii ports.

If you want good games, you're going to have to have more than a year development time.  That means when these first get released there is going to be a rush of what will be labaled shovelware games and the wands will be forgotten.  Better games may come out a year later but by then it won't matter.


your forgot about the Wii...it isnt a new thing, they have there XP, so I dont why you think we'll get tons of shovelware...there not Nintendo, there make sure 3rd parties will do a good

I think I get what you're trying to say but are you typing with your elbows or something?  I would understand if English wasn't your first language or live somewhere where English wasn't the main language but you're from San Diego...

Anyways, they may intend to give quality games but they also don't want to release the wands and nothing else.  Again, only a years dev time.  To make things even more difficult, they're working with a prototype so they still don't know what the final specs are.  They don't even know if they're going to have buttons so you already know any game currently in development isn't going to be too deep.

Everyone expecting something other than Wii Sports ripoffs and fitness games is going to be in for a huge surprise come Spring 2010.
