Actually, it is. If you take the lag of the Move controller alone then you're right, the lag should be pretty much exactly as high/low as a Wii Remote. But since probably all games use the feature of locating the XYZ position of the controller by the use of the glowing ball and the camera, the lag is indeed a bit higher, because the video from the PS Eye comes in at only 60Hz and must be analyzed for glowing spheres before the XYZ location can be reported to the game. Would be interesting to know if games that do not need XYZ location can turn this feature off to reduce lag and processing overhead. |
Which means 60 frames would be processed every second. Depending on how long the PS Eye actually takes to process the data (in fact, I think, but I'm not certain, that the PS3 still processes, unlike Kinect), that lag would be...miniscule. It's one extra dimension, so one extra co-ordinate, so...in theory, half as long again? Assuming, of course, that the PS3 and Wii processed at the same speed, which they don't.
So the technical side is still a mystery, but the fact remains that no recent reviews speak of any significant (game-breaking or visible) lag.
