Sony: Eye Toy has more potential than Wii Remote

You guys should stop arguing about the accuracy of the Wiimote. Wii golf already proves that its not accurate at all (ever tried putting?).

Baseball works fine, but the putting in Wii golf is awful. And the instructions for all these games is bad too. They tell you to hold the remote like a golf club, or a baseball bat and it just sucks doing it that way. I can consistently get home runs by just flicking my wrist, instead of making a fool of myself trying to swing a bat.

I've read various articles about the Wiimotes ability not even being tapped into yet. This goes for the Magazine Popular Science. The Wiimote is capable of far more then anything we've seen before in accurate replications of actual hand and mote positioning.

And the same article in Popular Science also mentioned how WiiSports Golf didn't actually use physics to determine the player's shot. Rather it used the parameters of known golfer's shots and the closest match of the parameters of the player's shot is how the ball goes.

What good is being able to actually strike the golf ball if your shot is already predetermined?

I tried playing Wii-Baseball that way as well. I tried playing Wii bowling the way bowling is played. My friend showed me that realistic movements DO NOT award the player whatsoever.

He did the same thing in baseball and a similar thing in bowling, and needless to say he gets more homeruns and strikes than I do.

Yet, in real life I made my town rec's all star baseball team. Yeah, the Wii is good for realistic movements alright...

lol yup you're right i insulted you first.. all i said was that in my experience the people who cant use the wiimote were just being stupid.

i avoided the gps thing because i was pointless. gps isnt a toy. video games are. your point is irrelevant. they also put more work into space shuttles too but theres no correlation there so no one brings it up.

Pointless? It doesn't matter if the wii is a toy or not. The technology runs on the same principle. And if nintendo cared about delivering a truly solid, realistic experience, they would have added the 2 extra sensor bars.

How much would it cost Nintendo to have added them? 10 more dollars?

And this is exactly why I have no respect for Nintendo anymore. They took generation with a damn near grain of salt. Had Sony introduced a Wii-Mote they would have made it the best of the best because they feel people should get their moneys worth. (Reason why the PS3's Blu-Ray player is the best one on the market).

If Nintendo wants to sell a toy, that is prerogative. And to their credit, it has worked well for them. But they cannot live on casual gamers forever.
