Just confirmed from SCEJ's conference.  RE4 Wii fans, get ready.

Ready for what exactly? It's still going to be Resident Evil 5.

On a more serious note, does the wand even work as a pointing device? And if so, is it as quick and precise as the Wiimote?

As for your questions: yes, and yes. It includes accelerometers and gyroscopes for the inclination (as in a Wiimote with WM+), the camera captures at 120Hz (the Wiimote's one works at 100Hz). It will basically be at least as good as a Wiimote with WM+ when it comes to pointing.

More than the numbers, though, just look at the tech demos shown at E3. Around 3:30, the block manipulation demo and the writing one right after it. They show the accuracy in pointing quite well. Or even better, see the third "blog" video from this other thread which also shows some interesting uses of absolute positioning.
