Why do Wii fans always deny the PS Move is superior to Wiimote?

From a technical standpoint, the PS Move is far more advanced than the Wiimote. The PS Eye camera can detect the position and distance of the glowing light, while the Move's internal sensors assist with tilt detection and boosting overall accuracy. The Wiimote on the other hand has a hard time telling how far you are from the TV (unless you have MotionPlus), so it would be laughable to suggest the Move is inferior. The Move is being released four years after the Wiimote, so of course it would have to be better. Sony would be stupid if they cannot out-perform a controller technology from 2006, so of course they can do a better job with four years of improvements.

Websites like Joystiq and Gizmodo have actually used the PS Move in HANDS-ON tech demos during GDC recently, and they have openly stated that the PS Move was better and more accurate than the Wiimote. They said that the controller was smarter, more accurate, and was simply more fleshed-out than the Wiimote... even with MotionPlus! Check out more info about Move here:

Thats right Wii owners, you can stay safe behind the whole "you cannot say the PS Move is better because you havent used it yet", but all current *hands-on* reviews of the Move controllers indicate that the Wiimote is far inferior. Can't wait for the Move to be released. Thats when PS3 owners have better graphics, better online, hard drives, Blu-ray, AND superior motion controllers. What advantages will the Wii have left apart from Mario Party or the next Zelda re-hash game?

I don't think many people care that it's more precise than a Wiimote with WMP. I think people are mad at how shameless of a creation Move is.

I have nothing against Sony and love my PS3. But the move can suck it. I will take my Wiimote and Wii Motion Plus ove the Playstation "Wiive" any day of the week. Sorry man. Wii did it first. And Wii will do it better.

In the end, it won't matter if the technology is superior if the Move is poorly supported or is viewed as an afterthought by PS3 owners. If there aren't enough good games that support the Move to justify purchasing it, then its wasted effort on Sony's part.

That's a very good point.

Also, the Wii button layout is a lot better than the PS3 move, which has them all in one place so it's hard to reach any single one(Also, why does it need two home buttons?).

Those two aren't connected, really.

They don't.

Wii fans say that it's a knock-off of the Wii Remote. That's really the extent of it.

The wiimote is 5 years older than the Move, so I should hope that the Move is better!

But motion controls are native to the Wii not tacked on like it is with the PS3's Move. I think that 360's Natal and PS3's move would have a lot more to crow about if they had been native to a new console. As it stands, PS3 users have to shell out extra for the Move then buy games for that...technologically better, but still limited by being a costly extra (in the same way as MotionPlus).

They don't.

eh, still not buying Move until i see the need to do so...... and from what I have seen, there just isn't a clear reason for me to buy it anyway.funsohng

Ever heard of Natal? Buggy but way better? Fighting for second place again?ocstew

Ever heard of Natal? Buggy but way better? Fighting for second place again?ocstew

Move may be better then the Wiimote but I highly doubt it will be implemented as well

It's bound to be more accurate than the Wii controller because it's coming out later. Sony would hardly release a controller that was less accurate would they?

However it's an embarrasingly bad rip-off of the Wii remote. It's even got a "Nunchuck attachment"

Downsides compared to the Wii remote though:

1. It needs the Eye.

2. The Nunchuck has no motion functionality (AFAIK) whereas the Wii nunchuck does.

3. It's non-standard and will have limited implementation.

It also looks a bit ridiculous but maybe that's just down to my own personal tastes.

Selling it could be a problem as well, eg

A Dad is buying a PS3 game in a game store, store assistant says would you like to buy one of these Move controllers at the same time.

"Maybe, what is it?"

"It's like a Wii controller for the PS3"

"How much is it?"

"£50/$80" (pure speculation)

"Okay I might stretch to that"

"You'll also need a Playstation Eye"

"What!?"

"And some games"

"Never mind, we've already got a Wii"

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"][QUOTE="delta3074"]you have to buy the Ps eye to use the motion controller? really? stuff that then, and people accuse MS of milking there fanbasedelta3074

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="PandaBear86"] PS Eye camera is used to detect the motion controller, so its not really milking at all. Plus, Sony will release a bundle, PS Eye + Move controller + free game, so it saves you money that way.PandaBear86

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"][QUOTE="delta3074"]doesn't matter, the fact that you NEED the Ps eye to make the motion controller work is a fail for me, they may do a bundle, but will it be as cheap as buying the motion controller stand alone?, i think not, it's the very definition of milking "if you want to use this, you have to buy this as well", it's just like SONY's 3D implementation, if you want to use 3D you have to buy an expensive SONY 3D compatible TV, at least the wii-mote is a standalone controller.delta3074

The PS Eye camera tracks the position of the lightbulb on the Move controller. A "Bluetooth bar" can't detect a glowing light. I don't think you understand how the PS Move works. It needs to have a camera, and the PS3 console does not have an in-built camera

PandaBear86

I think it is the "tacked on" nature of Move that is causing this inelegant solution. If it was integrated from the start things would be a lot better. Basically Nintendo are years ahead of Sony on this stuff and Sony are clumsily trying to catch up.

Probably. But you cant deny its a shameless rip off though.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="PandaBear86"] The Wiimote needs a sensor bar too. But people don't consider it milking because the sensor is included in the box. Well, the PS3 will have a special bundle which includes the PS-Eye as well. I can understand that exisiting PS3 owners will be annoyed by this, but thats understandable.PandaBear86

1: As people have said, it's a massively shameless rip-off by Sony. Again, I might add - they couldn't even get the first one (the Sixaxis) right.

2: You're looking at over £100 just to be able to play 2-player in the home. Mooooooooooo

In theory Move is better. I will reserve my final judgement until it actually comes out. Though I do wonder if the PSEye has antiquate resolution for the task of precise tracking when playing at a comfortable distance from the television.

Now however, as I've said many times before, what makes the Wiimote unique isn't what it does but rather the fact that it is the standard controller for its respective console. From a developer's perspective that is an important distinction. It means you don't have to split your potential audience by building games for the controller.

I don't think many people care that it's more precise than a Wiimote with WMP. I think people are mad at how shameless of a creation Move is.

Because Move looks like a sextoy.
