Actualy PC has it long before Wii. Nintendo didn't make the Wii motion sensing tech, they licensed it from PC company

Motion sensing controls will not be suitable for competitive gaming.


Motion sensing on the PC is a big no for me.

From what I hear, all the games are just lousy flash games that are better off played with a mouse and keyboard. Chances are the Stix will bomb (hopefully).
