Just to name a few where the motion sensor was well implemented and actually added to the game experience.]]>Aug 8th 2008 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/

But hey, tighter controls are always a good thing. I'm surprised this is news... I'd be more shocked if it was a Nintendo exclusive.]]>Aug 8th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Aug 8th 2008 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Aug 8th 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Aug 8th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Aug 8th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/
I personally like to sit back on my couch and move my thumbs around to play games. I don't play video games to work out, I go to the gym for that.]]>Aug 8th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Hell, I play Wii Sports sitting down.]]>Aug 8th 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/
Clearly the gamers that drive attachment rates are, in fact, the ones Nintendo is targeting.

hardcore =\= real

Face.....we had our time. But it's not the Wii that is "last gen".....

We are.]]>Aug 8th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Aug 8th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Aug 8th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/Aug 8th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/underlying-motionplus-tech-isnt-a-nintendo-exclusive/
In theory this should give the PS3 pad slightly better motion sensing, but to be honest the difference between the controllers has nothing to do with the tech and everything to do with the form factor. The Nintendo remote is well designed for waggling around with one hand, whereas the PS3 pad isn't. That's it. The PS3 could easily replicate a vast number of the Wii motion-sensing games, except for the fact that the pad is just not the right shape to play those games with.

In theory the addition of the three gyros to the Nintendo remote should allow it to do a reasonable job of dead reckoning the motion of the device; currently with only accelerometers it can detect orientation or acceleration, but once you get both there's no way of distinguishing them. The gyros should help with that (up to a point). It still won't be able to give you an exact fix on the absolute position or direction of the remote, but it'll be better than what they've got currently.]]>Aug 10th 2008 8:06AM
