I do understand that is how move works a lot of the time, probably not all though.

Quite a few games work without the sensor bar as it only detects the cursor and helps orientate the motion plus now and again.

I just wanted to say that the motion plus does not use the sensor bar to orientate itself at all. It just does it by sitting on a flat surface. You can set it on a flat surface pointing away from the sensor bar and it will orientate itself just fine. The sensor bar is only used for cursor based gameplay (unless some game uses it to do something weird). 

It certainly uses it for some degree of calibration: for example in WSR sword fighting where you have to point at the centre of the screen between each round or for quick calibration during a round in both sword fighting and ping pong.
