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.

Don't call me a lier man. Especially when i'm telling the truth. I have to place my sensor bar at my table to be able to use my wii while i sit in the couch, otherwise the controllers vanish from the screen. It's not a matter of being off screen because they vanish in the middle.

So stop accusing someone of lying when they're not.

Also if sony does those ripoff games they won't be bad. They'll be better than nintendos. Especially because of the technology used. Remember the ps eye has more capabilities that can be combined with the wands for the ultimate motion control experience.'

 

And @ your other post. They already said it had buttons. They said at the live presentation that "some games you just need buttons for" .. I don't know if you even watched it but if you did it sounds like you didn't pay too much attention.

He says it within the first 5 seconds. There you go:
