Will it be as accurate as sony says it is, I doubt it, but im sure it will be more accurate than wii motion plus. |
Hate to tell ya, but WM+ IS true 1:1 It doesn't get more accurate than that, as I said before. What Sony and MS are doing are finding their own means of providing 1:1 motion control without infringing on Nintendo patents. So yes, they can provide a great 1:1 experience, but they all will be equally accurate, providing 1:1 motion controls. ANYONE who states that one system has better 1:1 controls is pretty much comparing 2 pools of water and saying one is wetter than the other.

Again, 1:1 doesn't mean much. 1:1 what? A rigid body has 6 degrees of freedom: 3 spacial coordinates and 3 angles. the Wiimote when not using the IR camera has no absolute postioning tracking, only rotation and acceleration detection.
Thus no, the systems are not equivalent. The accelerometers in the wiimote won't have enough resolution to calculate the exact position in certain cases, thus the software will be tailored to avoid this limitation.
You can say that it's still accurate enough to replicate 1:1 the user's movements in those controlled situations, but someone is equally right in saying that a solution based on an external camera can do the same in more situations. I'd call that a more accurate controller.
