Pointer or gyro aiming?

Gyro works ok, I guess...but there is nothing like the wii-mote for FPS.  People can chuckle all they want at people like myself that played CoD on Wii and WiiU, but the speed and precision was insane.  I don't know if I'll ever enjoy playing a CoD on a dual stick controller when it finally does come back to the Nintendo platform.  Someone already mentioned these but House of the Dead:Overkill, Dead Space Extraction and RE: Darkside Chronicles were great on rail shooters, that in this guy's opinion, gyro just wouldn't do them justice.

Someone mentioned not liking the idea of "having to point at the light bar".  That was really not a thing.  Sure, you couldn't play facing sideways, but why would ya?  As long as you were facing forwards it registered perfectly fine without needing to pinpoint at the bar.

I wonder if the gyro on the new joycons might be good enough to replace IR. from what the rumor says it might have 9 a nine axis sensor (6axis). 9 axis sensors are whats used for VR, and basically elliminates the need for recalibration mid game since the additional 3 axis magetometer fixes drift and increases precision

It doesn't matter how many internal sensors you add. So long as the controller can't tell where it is in relation to the TV, its all a crapshoot.
