Nintendo has unveiled a Wii-mote accessory which provides more precise control. The accessory plugs into the standard Wii-mote and apparently includes another sensor or sensors for detecting motion, but Nindendo did not give technical details.

The Wii-maker said that with the new MotionPlus, every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play, promising more details tomorrow morning at its E3 media briefing.

The Wii Remote features internal accelerometer sensors and the Wii sensor bar to locate itself in space. The new accessory probably doubles these sensors, significantly improving accuracy.

It is already known that the original Wii-mote did not perform up to some gamers' expectations in terms of precision.

According to several news reports in mid-June, Sony is working to create a new controller for its next-gen gaming platform, PlayStation 3. The big surprise (or maybe not so big) is that the new controller seems inspired by the already famous Wiimote.

The gaming site Gamesindustry.biz reported that the new controller will have the ability to “break apart” in two units, which with its own accelerometer. Commenting about this rumor, another gaming site, Kotaku, said that is not about a “break apart” controller, but in fact Sony will created a device that can be attached to the gamers’ body.

Kotaku has quoted an unnamed source, who said that the controller will include two or four units, which can be attached to the hands and feet in order to move a character’s body. As you can imagine Sony denied commenting on the rumors.
