It certainly is sensitive when it comes to tilting. Example: When on the opening platform in Locoroco Cocoreccho, you can see just how little movement it takes for the platform to mimic your tilting motion exactly.

But to use it for pointing, every slight error would accumulate since there's no frame of reference to reset to. After a few minutes (or even earlier), the pointer would be so off that you would have to point at the floor or at the ceiling.

Accelerometers are good enough for relative movement, but not for absolute positioning. For that you need a fixed frame of reference such as the sensor bar on the Wii.

 


Sorry, if I was not clear. What I am saying is that it is very sensitive for what it was designed for: finding out how you are tilting the controler.

In other news, the creators of RE:UC point out that the Wii is "not quite powerful enough" to display RE:5 level graphics.

Submarines use highly sensitive gyroscopes for inertial navigation under water.  Of course, I doubt they fit something as sensitive as that in the SIXAXIS.

After playing RE4 with those Wii controls, I can't imagine shooting with analog again. You could shoot so much quicker. I guess the 360 version will do.
