Do Next-Gen Games Give Us Next-Gen Gameplay?

Does for me at least. I can point to any location on my TV with the Wii-mote just as fast as I can with the mouse. Perhaps the accuracy is not an issue with the Wii-mote itself but the skill of the user.

You also have to consider with a monitor and mouse, you are usually no more than 2-3 fee away from the screen but can be much further with a TV and Wii-mote. Try getting 3 feet from your TV and twitch your wrist side to side. You'll move the on screen cursor every bit as fast as you will with a mouse.

The biggest benefit to the mouse is friction. Stopping precisely were you like can be easier with a mouse because of friction against the mouse pad where as the Wii-mote has friction with just air...far less stopping power. Again, this probably comes down to user skill.

You don't judge stuff like this based on 1 data point (i.e. you).

If you got 100 people and got them to use Wiimote and mouse for accuracy test involving selecting a designated position on a screen the average score for mouse would be higher than Wiimote.  This runs true in this scenario for all motion sensing.  It's just not as accurate on average.

And as for user skill - the most skilled mouse user would cream the most skilled Wiimote user in a similar situation.

As I said you might as well give this up.  And you should practise more with a mouse because if you're more accurate with a Wiimote then I can only assume you suck with a mouse....
