Sony: Our Motion Control Approach Is Better Than Microsoft's

So it's more precise because you can write with it???  Maybe you haven't seen any demos of that with WM+ because no one cares.  Besides, the pointer pretty much takes care of that anyway.  Play Trauma Center sometime.  The refresh rate of the camera is going to make quick motions (like in Red Steel 2) less precise than the proven tech of accelerometers and gyroscopes.

yes the arc from tech demos looks more precise.

How so? I've seen all demos that were done with Sony's controller, and I don't see how it's more precise. It's 1:1, apparently. So is Wii Motion Plus. Like I said, there's nothing beyond 1:1, it's the best motion controls can get. So, tell me, finally, HOW is it more precise? I'm just curious.

You didnt get back about the depth sensing. To my understanding it seems like wii motion + is not as precise as the Arc on this point, or is it?

Sorry, didn't notice that one, what with all the quoting and frenzied posting happening on that page.

Anyway, by depth sensing, I take it you mean how close the controller is in relation to the TV in 3D space? Well, WM+ calculates in high detail every direction it's moved into from a certain starting point, in 360 degrees. So... I'm assuming that's as good as it gets, 1:1. That's based on the purely motion-sensing side of things. If you take the infrared pointer into consideration, then it's especially easy, 'cos that accurately measures depth, distance to TV, to a high degree.
