Sony - Our PS3 motion controller trumps Wii/Wii MotionPlus

And happens to be something the Wii with WM+ can in fact do.... the only difference eing you don't have to be in the field of view of the PSeye.

The WM+ can assume 1 position as "zero" and then work out any motion in direction or rotation from that point..... working out what the "zero" point is can be a simple as pressing a button when required, or a quick flash of the sensor bar across the IR camera, or indeed holding it still for a second or two.

The only reason Sony could argue it is telling the truth is that there isn't really a "field" as such for Wii motions unless your motions involve you pointing at the sensor bar often enough.... wheras the "field" of the PSeye is always going to be the same.... other than that it is complete bunk

QFT!

...Could have SWORN they demo'd this ability when Wii Sports Resort was first announced.
