Because it comes closer to the mouse controller.

First, you tested pointer controls on the wrong games. Conduit 1/2 controls took me a good amount of customization before even "feeling right" and the goldeneye ones feel "stiff" and less responsitive than other wii fps. You should try one of the Wii CoDs and/or Metroid Prime 3/Trilogy.

I personally prefeare pointer controls because they are more natural and quick. shaky hands can be a problem only if you are untrained. after a few hours with them you'll never want to go back, it's a pretty good sensation to point your arm to someone and kill him right away. Oh and BTW pointer controls allow you to play better: i tested this multiple times with my friends on goldeneye (even if it's not the best game for pointer controls): everytime someone with wiimote/nunchuck battles someone with dual analog, he DESTROYS his opponent.

Move + Killzone 3 was outstanding, one of the highlights of the game for me.

It's easier to control and is far more accurate. It's as simple as that.

I always turn auto-aim off when the game allows me to and I'm far more precise than any motion FPS I've ever played.

Wiimote is just too shaky, dual analog is the way to go (if you don't play on PC).

Haven't tried Move yet, but I'd guess it's similar to Wiimote.

Well first wii remote gameI played was red steel. I don't knwo if this was a good pre training as the controlsin that are bad and made you learn todeal with it.

Overall, i think wii mote is fantastic. RE4 is a prime example. The cod games on Wii, you can use the z button on nun chuck to auto lock onto people when in sight moe.

In general when I rest my arm on my leg it is very stable. takes me about 5mins to warm up.

As for move, apart from the annoying big glowing ball on the end, it is pretty accurate to.

Sounds like your thumbs are just more steady than your hands.

Which is nothing special for a human being as everyone is more steady with their thumbs.

I find them a mixed bag. I've only really played Metroid Prime 3 and Resident Evil 4 with the wii-mote and Killzone 3 with the move. That said I found only Metroid Prime 3 had the perfect bounding box for aiming and rotating the camera. Killzone 3 was fun with the sharpshooter as it gave me a better sense for using a gun (like if I was trying to aim to the right I'd have to rotate my body as opposed to aiming left). But I found analogue sticks more percise in Killzone 3 (though sharpshooter was more fun).

Wiimote (with motion+) is lovely for turning. Zangeki no Reginleiv is testament to this. It's like having three hands!
