Forums - Gaming - How is the Playstation Move more Accurate than the Wii motion plus?

yes move is more accurate.

nintendo uses software tricks and assumptions about how you are "supposed" to be moving to make it feel more accurate than it really is. if you are playing something like wii sports resort it is really easy to fool the game and thus easy to demonstrate how motion plus is not actually all that accurate.

move (and also kinect) use camera technology so the hardware can't be fooled. this is why frisbee golf on wii sports resort is a joke but on sports champions a real challenge. sports champions forces you to be honest.  as a competitive gamer, my will to win trumps my will to be honest hence why i can't enjoy the wii sports version.


I have no idea what this means but it sounds so hardcore. Go Frisbee Golf!!!

pretty much this, but its not that different, also i find the FPSs to be a little better, the camera does a better job of tracking on Move so i dont have to make much adjustments to get it toperform the way i want. Contrast that to FPSs on Wii and ive had to have made quire a few adjustmets.

i find it funny how people downplay Move but dont have one or even played it. I have both, they are both good, just wish M+ had half the support Move has, hell even Kinect

Augmented reality also provides experiences on Move that cant be done on Wii

true, however (and i hate being this much of a snob but it has to be said) the resolution and picture quality on the ps eye is too low for me to enjoy looking at AR games.  i hope they fix this for the inevitable ps4.

too tough to put into words, what the video instead.

it basically highlights how in wii sports resort the motion you see on the screen is not the motion you have to do.  once you learn what the "trick" is you can have perfect games everytime by giving the controller exactly what it wants rather than doing the motion as it would be natural to do.  it destroys all of the fun but for a competitive gamer like me, once i find an exploit i can't not use it.  move keeps me honest which goes a long way to keep the intended fun factor intact.



3D positioning of the users. Move knows where in the room are the players, wii motion plus doesnt. Between, does wii motion plus sense depth? (not talking about sensing foward/backward movement through the use of acceloremeters). If not thats quite a big of a difference.



the response time is apparently faster and because its a camera / light orb combination it can track the wand better in 3d

nah what i mean't to say was that the wiimote must be better because its from nintendo and nintendo is always the best at anything associated with gaming

There is no "assumption". Perhaps they use something like that in Wii Sports Resort, but it is not necessary. Connect your Wiimote Plus with a PC an look at the pure data the Wiimote delivers, it is more than accurate.

Move on the other needs to make assumptions, because the system can not process the camera data in real time. So Move has a bigger lag than motion plus.

In sports champion you must use more power to throw the frisbee, and some people may think this is because of better motion technology. In fact they could have done this in Wii Sports Resort as well, but nintendo fears that the people may throw their wiimote in the tv, so they made the frisbee controls more sensitive. All in all Wii Sports Resorts is the better game and more challenging then sports champions.

The Wii Motion controls has some big advantage: The pointer controls, because this works with the sensor bar. So the Wii pointer controls are lag-free and precise. The pointer controls from Move are not that good.

So you want higher fidelity motion controls which will mean that you HAVE to flail and jump around the room as opposed to motion plus where you don't have to flail like a casual and can do most things from the comfort of the couch.

Make your mind up, you can't be both a casual and competitive, can you?

PS. Do you know any secret exploits for WSR Duel?

now which is the better game is up to opinion but how could it be more challenging if you just said that sports champions requires more effort to play? aren't you contradicting yourself? 



Good job Jeremy

in short yes, i do want higher fidelity motion controls.  i'd actually like to see some improvement in move actually cause it certainly isn't perfect either, the wii mote's pointer (regular mind you) is snappier (if you get my gist).   i can see where you'd make the assumption that i don't like motion control but i do in fact like it ... at least in theory.  hasn't been much on any system that really makes motion controls sparkle imo.

for WSR duel .. not off hand.  i didn't care much for it (or gladiator for that matter).  where i spent all my time is tennis, frisbee golf, and bowling.
