Forums - Nintendo - Is Wii M+ = to Sony Motion Control?

They're more or less the same thing. Sony tried to one up them by having two wands and the eye Toy, but that means instead of the Wii's one accessory per person you have to have two wands per person and one Eyetoy for everybody.

Also, the WM+ is coming out in a month or two while the PS Wands have more than a year and nothing but tech demo's that the WM+ is already doing in Wii Sports Resort for the most part.

It is blatantly obvious that Sony wants to cash in on Nintendo's parade (which there's nothing wrong with) and they are still in *very* early stages of the wands.  They don't even have the final look for them yet and the people demoing it didn't even have time to learn their own tech demos.

If this was happened 1-2 years ago, maybe or if they actually had a game to show off, maybe, or if it was coming out next month, maybe, but right now it's just too little too late.

the wii motion plus doesn't have glowing balls.

 

Also the wii requres (in many games.. the same that would require 2 wands) a wii mote and a nunchuck.. and it has a sensor bar.. oh yeah and to compete it also needs motion plus.

 

 

anything seems familiar ? only difference being that each of sonys wands has more precision than a wiimote with motion plus.

 

and the ps eye is a lot better than the sensor bar too .. with mics and facial recognision.. and well it's a camera obviously that involves some good stuff..

 

AND ! dududum ! RANGE ! the sensor bars range is terrible. Hopefully this one is better. Though this we dunno yet..

 

Oh and blue tooth + rechargables like dualshocks.. = win :p

 

In my opinion.

Perhaps it's just my fuzzy memory but the Wii came with all that (barring WM+ for now).   You're not forced to buy it all separately.

Right now all we have is a presentation by Sony. How do we even now that the product works as advertised? How is it one to one? The camera does not have the ability to detect one to one motion. Therefore what's the technology inside the wand? I would like to read hands on impressions about this tech before I say it's equal or better than Wii motion plus.

Wii motion plus has had hands on impressions being posted by a number of Journalist and developers from EA and Ubisoft. We know it works as advertised.

Recently, I read an article posted on VGchartz. It was a copy of an article from a UK newspaper. In the article Microsoft stated that the demos used to showcase project Natal are visions and that the actual products may vary. This mean they may work as advertised or they may not. We already know Milo is not going to work as advertised based on hands on impressions. But it is indeed a start kind of like Seaman from sega.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

Viper1 saw what I was getting at, this stuff is in addition to what you already have.

Also, I'm not sure where people are getting the Sony Wands are more accurate bit.

After reading his posts in this thread, I think he's just being facetious.

late for what? (chuckle) It's not like soccer moms and kids will be in a hurry to buy a PS3 to play casual games anyway.

PS3 motion controller (as well as Natal) is just one more optional way of having fun with your console, it's not like Sony and MS are about to go 90% crappy casual games like Nintendo does.

Fixed it for you.  Didn't want people thinking you wrote that by mistake.

 

Also, casuals games is the exact reason for their existence.  Neither has much application in the core market due to their limited input (lack of buttons and analog stick).

ps3 comes with a dualshock so what ? mine came with 2 sixaxis and 2 games. That's unrelated to what you need to play. If were talking value that comes with the system the ps3 bundles comes with atleast equal to the wii.. And even more cause they don't need batteries.
