Don't come with that casual bullshit. Pull those statistics out of your ass and show them to me. Many core gamers prefer IR pointer to dual analog. Don't take your personal preference and try to apply it to all core gamers.

 

I'm just going to give reasons why IR pointer is superior to dual anlog for shooters and see what proper counter-argument you can come up with.

Analogs were created for moving around in a 3D space, not for precise aiming. This is why devs have had to design shooting games around it's limitations and come up with design choices such as  "sticky aiming" "bullet magnetism," "bullet curving," "snap-to aiming", etc.

Pointers on the other hand are were  made for aiming. They are more intuitive, accurate and faster.

Mouse > IR Pointer >> Gyro Pointer >>>>>> Analog stick for aiming. FACT.

Dual analogs have been around for over 2 gens now so it natural that there are players who are more comfortable with it for shooting or haven't bothered to give an alternative a try, but don't fool yourself. Dual analog is the inferior option for shooting mechanically.

I guess I'll answer the same way I always have: Motion controls are more accurate.

 

Dear God...

Can't come up with a coherent counter-argument. Just as I thought.
