i never understand why move controler needed the wierd looking ball end part? was it suppose to look like an icecream cone to attrct the kiddies? couldnt they have not made it look so odd?

because the glowing sphere is very easy to track in 3d, and the algorithm required to do so is not very complex or taxing upon the system, that is why when combined with the gyros and accelerometers and magnetometers move is such a really precise and impressive piece of technology, fact is you forget about the sphere (if you hated it) and grow to love it when you are playing games, just from the immersion you get

Could have easily been done with IR and those glowing stupid balls would not have to be there

even tracking a controller(without the sphere) is not efficient as tracking a sphere on top of a controller, if you ever programmed you would know this, it still would not be as fast or as precise as move, each system has it's benefits kinect can do full body tracking(3d) and casual games, move can do full body tracking (if needed in 2d), and all kinds of games....
