I think your first video proves that the Wii configuration IS better.  Yeah, he misses a few shots but goddam, does he get back on point, quickly.  AND, he's not aiming down the sites.  He's shooting from the hip.  He specifically says that the Wii Remote is so accurate that he can fine tune his shooting precision by making small movements.  For that reason, he maintains his full mobility, full field of vision, and his accuracy. 

I use handguns and rifles all of the time.  I go through serious training four times a year.  I also have to perform using special modified weapons vs. another team four times a year (called Force on Force drills).  As a result, I get to deal with various instructors.  I'm trained for combat (as well as being former military and an ex-cop with 7 years under my belt).  My instructors have said time and time again that it's not about who can get the most accurate shot.  It's about who can get a good shot off, first.  If there's a Wii configuration that uses the Classic Controller or a PS3 configration that uses the Move, I would bet my dinner that a great MC gamer would totally destroy a great Controller player 9/10.  They're just too precise.   While the controller user is trying to get on target or aim down the sites, the MC user is just shooting from the hip with blinding speed and wearing them out!

While I do greatly respect your opinion with real life combat and how motion controls work in general to parody them, I do have to say that you probably have not played much COD at all. Also I highly doubt in real life military personeel would just hip fire to keep their mobility (like the Wii guy), but rather they would ADS and hold their breath to get a better shot off. I would have imagined a better shot=accurate shot, but you probably know better.

Anyway in terms of the Wii gameplay (not real life), that person was only able to get so many kills was because majority of the people were also using motion controls and weren't ADSing. I can guarantee you, if the 1st guy was playing against the 2nd guy who was using a controller (heck even me who is average at best), he would have no chance of getting any long distance kills, and even in close range with the horrible accuracy he had. Any MP player knows that its the accuracy of your shots that is the most important aspect of multiplayer, thats why people who hip fire mostly are considered as "noobs" in the online community, as it leaves you incapable of being able to take out targets long-mid range, and is not accurate at all with the huge bullet spread over distance.
