Your getting this all wrong, the fact that wii motion controls was not precise enough for me, frustrated me, and as a result I do not play on the mini games, not when you can do a simple flick of the wrist and get a stike on bowling, it is just plain stupid, that is not would happen in real life, now for games like zelda, it's more fun admitedly.

Ps motion controls will be more precise so games like golf, fps, rpg, rts, etc can be even more now with this extra precision.

Wii controls are nothing more than to get intermediate users into gaming, as simple as that, ps motion controls are more advanced users, who require so much more than that, becuase we need a challenge!!

I don't mean to get in the middle of all this, but I'm seriously amazed at all the people who keep saying stuff like the above. Have none of you heard of a little thing called Wii Motion Plus? It's 1:1. Yeah, the original Wii remote wasn't as precise. That's why Nintendo gave us Motion Plus.

How all you guys can keep going on about how PS3's motion controller will be superior and more precise is beyond me. Moreso because none of you all have ever played with it. Heck, there haven't even been any games shown, just some tech demos. You can't get more precise than 1:1. You think it's going to be 2:1 or something? So far, Sony's controller hasn't even had a Nunchuk-like attachment announced, effectively greatly limiting its use and appeal. That wouldn't really make it better than Wii's controls. So, tell me, how exactly is it going to be superior, apart from graphics? Because PR guys say so?

It's great if people are enthusiastic about something they like or look forward too, but don't go around spouting nonsensical comments without any shred of foundation or proof. Especially when simple facts contradict your statements.

yes i heard of it, it should have been there day 1 end of story, and the ps motion controls are still more precise than it, can you write using wii motion plus, because i don't remember seeing any demo's for that, that is exactly how precise ps motion controls are.

anyway like you said there is no proof(apart from the e3 showings and that was ages ago), so people should not even be saying it is going to flop or fail, that is why i was backing it up, can't we just all enjoy our games without resorting to such levels??

It wasn't there day one 'cos Nintendo, unlike certain other companies, like to make a profit from day one, and sensors like the one in Motion Plus weren't financially feasible back then. You can read up on it, just Google it. And no, there are no demos for writing with WM+, as far as I know. Why would there be? Are you going to write letters or play a game? But hey, if you wanted to, I'm sure you could. Like I said, WM+ is 1:1. How can Sony's thing be better than 1:1? Both devices use different methods, but apparently get the same level of results, which are 1:1 motion controls. That's the best it's going to be, there's nothing beyond 1:1.

That's why I responded, I want nothing to do with this whole 'flop-or-juggernaut-discussion-thing-war'

Seriously though, you're right, there's practically zero known about the thing, apart from the occasional PR stuff, which obviously should be taken with a grain of salt like most PR stuff, regardless of company or product. So people shouldn't call it a flop, nor should they say it'll be a huge success. We'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah i know what you mean it was expensive your right, it just upset me when they brought it out as add on, and i really dont think even motion plus gives it true 1:1 control, which i said ps motion controls will be better, they advertise it as 1:1, but i played on wii sports resort, and to be honest, I really was not that impressed, but each to their own...

About the writing demo, it was just to show how precise it was, no one is obviously going to use it for that.

Thanks for being understanding, and discussing things sensibly.
