• No, it isn't. Seems the main thing couldn't catch your attention, guys: exact absolute positions, instead of the relative motion-sensing through accelerometers in current controllers.
  
  The Wii MotionPlus just adds rotational motion sensing capability to the translational ones the Wiimote capable to sense. (The additional infra sensor helps to define the orientation, as long as it has the infra-LED bar in sight.)
  
  BTW, the PS3's Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers are capable of sensing both rotational and translational movements along all 3D axes in itself. But again, relative movements only. (I wonder why the article don't tell a word about it.) In reply to: "Sixense remote improves on Wiimote game plan"
