Why people keep saying that? The PlayStation Move CAN NOT be more acurate than the Wii MotionPlus. It can be as acurate as it, but never better. The dev kit for both peripherals are EXACTLY THE SAME, it only differs on what console it works.

but..but.. it is more accurate because the wii motion plus is still not 1:1 (they lied to u) and has more then 1 frame delay.

... Yeah, PSMove is quite accurate, what was the complains about it at GDC? Lag? Really interesting isn't it? WM+ is, indeed, not 1:1, but PSMove isn't more accurate than it. Unless someone can PROVE me I'm wrong, I won't buy any statement out there.

For the same reason PS3 is in last place since the dawn of time: lack of compelling software.

Or, as everyone else seems to know - Price.

Lol yeah...

I think the price factor is still the main thing, but as well as that, whilst the PS3 may have superior motion hardware it lacks superior motion software

Sure, price is a factor as well, but if there was more incentive to buy a PS3, the price wouldn't be as much of a problem I'm sure.

To be honest, I see little reason to get a PS3 when you own a 360 and a Wii. Same thing could be said for owning a PS3, Wii and PC though, but 360 and Wii is much cheaper.

Price has been the MAIN factor for how PS3 has performed thus far. Not just "a" factor, as far as i'm concerned.

Without the PS brand name, any other console launching at that price would have died a quick death.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Theres 100% accurate and then theres Sony accurate.

I believe ps move is tracked to the millimetre on the x and y axis and to the centimetre on the z axis.

I cant find anything about how exact the wii mote is but I did find this

It truly is giving you that one-to-one control movement of your arm motion and then mapping it directly to that one-to-one movement of your character on screen.

At times it's overly responsive. It had so much fidelity that at times we have limited that fidelity to make it a compelling experience and giving you full total control.

 

Got it from this article

http://kotaku.com/5197722/ea-wii-motionplus-so-accurate-it-can-be-too-accurate

but until anyone kind find out just how exact a wii motion plus is I guess we will just have to wait and see.

oh I am sure if you are accurate to Pico metre you would be more accurate than wii motion plus. 100% accurate well tell me what the smallest space possible is and them maybe the wii or move could be that accurate



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).
