Videos are available showing it in use in the LEGO Star Wars game but it wasn't a true motion sensing device. Your movements didn't correspond with the actions on screen, the guy was just waving the controller and and the characters swung their lightsabers but swinging left with the controller didn't make the character swing to the left (if you get what I mean). Sony have developed their own one (I think it's being called Sixsense)using some of the technology found in the SIXAXIS and DualShock 3 and it's far more sensitive than the Wiimote http://playstationlifestyle.net/2008/11/26/ps3mote-update/ Time will tell whether or not the casual gamers (*spit*) will take to it. @8 Wiii

You have to give it to Nintendo for coming up with a gaming system that isn't overly difficult to use. The Wii is a family gaming system(Point Blank Period). I don't know how many times its been said that Wii is for those who don't play video games but want to give it a try without all the 100 buttons. My whole family will play on the Wii when I bring it around. They don't bother to even mention the other systems just because of the simple usage that the Wii brings. Plus the Wii GETS EVERYONE INVOLVED. I'm not ever going to dog the Xbox or PS3, nor am I jumping on the Ninty bandwagon. I'm simply going to say that each system has its strengths and weaknesses.

It is a huge leap forward with Wii. The controller makes the games a lot more fun. If I had kids they would be sure to get one. Have not tried Wii Fit but it is really strange the other companies have still not copied the Wii controller to their own games and that it is not available for PCs either. “How is a massive leap back in technology and progression a good thing?”
