Wii-mote simply because it doesn't require the Eye. Personally, I've only used the Move once, and it wasn't that great.

As to whether Move is good as a pointer, I played R.U.S.E using move (I think I was the only person in the world to do so) and it was a brilliant control mechanism. It's just a pity R.U.S.E was only an OK RTS game. Also Move worked very well as a pointer / aiming device in inFamous 2. Most play sessions I wouldn't have to recalibrate (and I don't have a sharpshooter), some play sessions I'd have to recalibrate once.

Now that I own a FPS that uses mMove (Bioshock infinite) it will be interesting for me to use Move for a genre I thought was a natural home for Move. I don't know why Move never got implemented for CoD or Battlefield, as when it is implemented well in FPS it's great; based on the 10 minutes of KZ3 I played using Move.

Well WM+ is still being supported via Wii U. Just putting that out there.


name the games. and i mean PLUS not just the motion control


Nintendo Land, Mario and Sonic, and Wii Sports require it so far.  PLUS, not just regular Wii Remotes.

thats pitiful for a system that has been on the market for as long as it has.



As many others have said, for motion tracking, Move is more accurate than motion plus. But the pointer controls for a FPS are much better with the Wiimote, making it the better controller to me since that's the single best function to come out of these devices.

Plus, Nintendo's remotes are far more comfortable to me - particularly the nunchuck over the navigation controller.

Your good at "moving" goal posts, I'll give you that



Playstation Move, with the best example of its superiority being MLB The Show.

This isn't even a contest. If you ever used Move you don't want to go back. Not only is it faster but it's tons more accurate and registers movements of millimeters on all axes.

And yes, I have used Wii Remote Plus and it is not nearly as responsive as Move.

Really? I thought the exact opposite.

I have both, got Move free with my PS3 because I bought it at a garage sale. Played some of Resistance, No More Heroes and Killzone with it, and I'm not impressed.

The thing is the PS Move fails to handle horizontal movements accurately. When I play No More Heroes, it just does not recognize diagonal slices. It could be the specific game because NMH was not a Wii Motion Plus title, but it's just terrible. Nothing compares to the hack n slash precision seen in Skyward Sword.

For Point and shoot games like Metroid Prime/Resistance the Move is fine. It's as accurate as the Wii-Motion Plus, but no where nearly as comfortable (ever try to hold a controller with one hand and use the D-Pad/Triggers?). Even when just using the "wand" without the navigation controller, that giant bright bulb is just such a distraction. Plus the Move controller has grooves, but the grooves are designed for smaller hands. So if you're 6 feet or taller, you'll probably prefer the Wii-mote since it doesn't pinch up on the edges.

To Sum Up

  Wii Motion Plus PS Move
Point & Shoot 9 9
Hack & Slash 10 5
Comfort 8 6
Total 27/30 20/30

The Wii-Mote is just tons better.

P.S. The Move Camera is also a lot less stable then the Wii-Sensor bar. Makes a difference when you have a coffee table and need the sensor to balance on top of the TV.

PS Move, there is no contest. It's great for anal stimulation.

Never tried the Wiiplus, but PSMove was very cool...
