The Real Deal (SixAxis vs Wiimote)

1. Price:

SixAxis - $50

Wiimote - $40, Nunchuck $20

Winner - Wiimote/Nunchuck Ultimate combo! The Wiimote alone is cheaper than the SixAxis and gives full motion and pointing capabilities for $10 cheaper! Also replacement is a factor here. Controllers fail and have to be replaced almost exclusively because of a worn out or broken analog stick. The Wiimote does not have one and can survive abuse like no other controller. You will likely never have to replace your Wiimote EVER! So replacement costs for a Wiimote/Nunchuck controller is only $20, while you'll have to shell out another $50 for a SixAxis when the analog fails.

2. Control

SixAxis - limited to tilt controls like Kirby tilt-n-tumble

Wiimote - Full motion control, Full pointer functionality

Nunchuck - Full motion control

Winner - Wiimote/Nunchuck Ultimate Combo!

3. Form Factor

SixAxis - Standard controller makes motion control difficult and cumbersome. Shoulder buttons are in an awkward position and not comfortable

Wiimote/Nunchuck - Single handed adds to comfort and ease of use.

Winner - Wiimote/Nunchuck! There is just no comparison here, the wiimote kills the sixaxis in terms of usability. Will you ever be able to play a baseball, tennis, golf, football or similar sports game with the sixaxis? Ha! not like with the Wiimote you won't! The sixaxis can't be used comfortably unless you're holding it like a regular controler. So you can't make a passing, punting, swinging motion with it. The sixaxis is limited to only some racing and flying games and gimmicks. Actually the sixaxis is a gimmick even with racing and flying games since its not real motion control and just tilt control.

4. Features

SixAxis - has last-gen handheld tilt feature and no rumble

Wiimote/Nunchuck - dual motion sensing, dual rumble, pointer control

Winner - Clearly the SixAxis can't compete with the Wiimote here.

5. Reliability

SixAxis - light and flimsy and easily breakable

Wiimote/Nunchuck - can easily go through your tube TV and survive without damage

Winner - Wiimote/Nunchuck

Clearly there can be no argument here. The Wiimote wipes the floor with the SixAxis in every way.

One person's opinion is never the "real deal."Bullet_Holes

I see. So you can't make a valid argument against my post so you go into damage control mode. Gotcha. :roll:

Rumble is such a useless feature, I'm glad the PS3 got rid of that annoyance.Click_Clock

I'm pretty sure you're in the minority there. What they should have done is included rumble and allow you to turn it off like the Wiimote. Then everybody would be happy, like with the Wiimote.

If it were truly a problem, you could have gotten rid of the "annoyance" years ago by simply turning it off. Noob.

Yea I got to disagree with this.  Rumble is great.

To the TC yes the Wiimote is much better then SixAxis.

Exactly. Why alienate more than half your user base by removing it completely? Whoever things getting rid of rumble was a good idea does not know anything about business. That goes double for Sony.

Not quite. They got rid of it because of the lawsuit. They stole the rumble tech and used it illegally without paying any royalties or getting permission from the original dev. They could have settled like Nintendo and be able to use it in their controller, but they were greedy and didn't want to pay....so now customers suffer.

[QUOTE="Click_Clock"]Rumble is such a useless feature, I'm glad the PS3 got rid of that annoyance.Hot_Potato

I'm pretty sure Nintendo didn't settle anything, MS did. Nintendo used their own technology for rumble and avoided that lawsuit.kiruyama

I'm not aware of that. That would be interesting though.

yea nintendo's rumble is original not the same as dual shock

Please cows, Please don't post something like this anymore. Becaues everytime you say rumble is last gen or not important, someone who's thinking about buying a PS3 buys a X360 or Wii instead. So, for the sake of your favorite console's life, please please don't say something like this PLEASE!

So companies that have made a lot of money in the past, always will in the future. Your logic is 3rd grade at best.

The fact of the matter is, even the best and biggest companies sometimes make mistakes that cost them BILLIONS in investment and BILLIONS more in embrassment. Examples: Coca-Cola, The "New" Coke. Pepsi, "Crystal Clear" Pepsi. Ford and GM.....Won't go there. John Travolta, "Battle Field Earth." And within our very own industry, Nintendo, Virtual Boy, 64DD, Going with Carts on the N64. Sony and the PSX (not the original Playstation, but the $1000 monster thing of majiggy called the PS1), Sega, 32X, Sega CD just to name a few............Companies, no matter how big or small. DO make mistakes, sometimes to the detriment of everyone!

    Stopped reading right here. $40 + $20 = $60 which is $10 more than $50. If you are saying just the Wiimote, you lose as well, since most games require a Nunchuck.

    While I agree the Wiimote is a better controller, you use opinions and flawed logic to make your points. Just come out and say you like one better. Not every opinion needs to be justified.

You should have kept reading. Most of the best games out right now for the Wii do not require the Wiimote.

Strangley enough it looks basically exactly the same as mine, although I have that crazy/un-nearving smile on mine instead.
