Um, SIXAXIS returns the exact same input data the Wiimote does with it's motion sensing (not the IR pointer, which isn't physics based) so they are exactly as physics based as the other, no more, no less. ]]>Mar 20th 2009 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/Mar 19th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/Mar 19th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/Mar 19th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/
Ars' Jon Stokes wrote: "I'm certain that the PhysX PPU consists of multiple identical cores (maybe with one or two unique cores, like Cell's PPE, but probably not), and that each of those cores has its own local storage. In other words, PhysX almost certainly looks a lot like Cell, but with more cores, and probably more per-core local storage. Game developers can use this type of architecture to implement any number of physics models, but that's just one application for the chip."

"The PS3 might be able to handle certain physics operations using the G70's support for pixel shader 3.0—the Havok physics engine is apparently capable of doing so—but that's not CUDA, and it's not PhysX. "

Here the 1st paragraph of the linked article.... pretty much says it all:
NVIDIA SPINNERS MUST BE getting really desperate for people to pay attention to Physx, their insecurity is directly correlated to the level of news rehashing. This time, they are claiming Physx on the PS3, which they have already had for three years.

And to all those wondering about the Xbox 360..... look at the 4th paragraph:
That brings up the question of why they feel the need to beat this drum? It is literally the same old news, three years later. Nothing is new here. Well, there is one thing new, Nvidia completely forgets to mention that he last time it announced this new technology, it had the 360 and Wii on board.

All three console's have supported PhysX since launch.
Also the Wiimote will make no difference to Physics. a physics engine would control stuff like destructible environments, ragdoll physics, water/liquid effects. Wiimotion Plus would improve the Wiimote though cos its the acclermoter that controls the wiimote.]]>Mar 19th 2009 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/nvidias-physx-sdk-sashays-onto-nintendos-wii/
