Hmm... Wii's IR sensor only detects XY motion? Lol XD At least try and do some research before posting nonsense, Sony.

Yeah, they're just playing on the ignorance of the sort of people who love these lists.

The Wiimote's IR camera triangulates Z-position using the distance between the LED clusters at either end of the sensor bar, whereas the PSEye uses the centre of the glowing ball and its radius/diameter.

However, the sensor bar/IR camera solution can detect yaw and roll without even using the gyroscopes. Since a ball is a ball no matter which way you look at it, the Move controller will have to rely on the gyros.

not quite all of it, because there is also a magnetic sensor  in the PS3 move controller that also is useed to determine the exact position in a 3D field of space along with the camera track's but the Magnetic sensor in the Move also send's out it's position in a point direction.

So it's got a compass in it? Nifty.

The misinformation in the chart is still sinister, though.

yea it's not only a compass, but also allows it to overcome some of the limitation's that the camera could not do by itself. so it's a very good thing that it's in there say for instance you put the Playstation Move behind your back the PS3 would still know the Move is there inpart due to the Magnetic field sensor, that's why it would not stop the game but give notice the Playstation Move is out of visual range.
