Hard to believe that Ninty would have a more complex system to work with but hey, their motion control is already old. Sony is starting new so they've had the time to learn and time to simplify the idea of it all. Hope Ninty is making development resources easier to work with over the last 3 years.

They don't. Sony's wand uses LiveMove, the same middleware that Nintendo has been using since the Wii came out. To be precise, version 2 which was designed specifically for the Wii MotionPlus, and has now been adapted for Sony's wand.

Developing for Sony's wand will be easy because it will be almost the same as developing for Wii, which developers should be quite familiar with at this point. The author is confused because he isn't doing adequate research and is viewing the situation through Sony-tinted glasses.

obviously you found what I was really interested in while I was typing.
