Had to revisit this, just for the record...

I seem to remember you posting year old E3 videos from when the motion+ was first revealed as proof that there was lag, when there were videos of the current build showing that had been remedied...
Yeah, it appears my memory was pretty clear, while you are all wrong:

Guys, this and the wii with motion+ are virtually the same...I mean, technically this is the same as the wii without motion+. Think about it
Camera + ball + accelerometers/gyros (in wand) = 3d positioning and motion tracking
IR port + sensor ball + accelerometers/gyros (in remote) = 3d positioning and motion tracking
The KEY difference is the ball is big enough to be seen by the camera at all times regardless of the orientation of the wand while the IR port can only see the LEDs in the sensor bar when it's pointed at it, which is the reason for it's absolute 3d positioning limitation. The motion+ corrects this with added gyros that allow for it to accurately calculate it's position even without the sensor bar being pointed which allows for a WAY larger range of motions
People who say there's a significant difference in the accuracy or that the M+ has more lag don't know what they're talking about

So yeah, I remembered correctly. You
did say this was the same in accuracy and lag as Wii or Wii Motion+.
Nice try trying to change the subject and put something on me though...
too bad it isn't true at all. Yeah, you were wrong when you claimed I posted that video. I didn't. Somebody else did.
EDIT: It was Buggy Loop, here:

And then you were arguing about lag with drakesfortune about lag seen in a video YOU posted. You weren't arguing with me.

Actually, I wasn't criticizing Wii or Wii Motion+ in that thread at all. All I was doing was going through the nearly-decade-long history of Sony and Dr. Marks researching and R&Ding this tech. Which is nothing more than giving credit where credit is due.
