How The PlayStation Move Is NOT A Wii Remote

A Wii Remote Wanna Be?
I chose this article because this is a hot new item soon to be out on the market and I don’t know much about it. I am a wii fan myself, so I was curious to learn more about this new PlayStation Move and how it differs from the wii remote. As most of you know the PlayStation Move is a remote-like motion-sensitive controller with a sphere at the end. The sub-controller is an off-hand controller being offered for some Move games. The Move controller connects to the PS3 with the help of a PlayStation Eye camera, which detects the Move's colored sphere, while tilt sensors in the move transmit their position data to the PS3. So I can see how most people could interpret it as just another wii remote and nunchuk.
The Move is out this fall, price and launch games to be announced.

Here are some fun interesting differences and you can always check out the site for further details.
-Fewer buttons: The Move controller is actually even more streamlined than the Wii Remote. Nintendo's Remote still offers/confuses a new player with a d-pad, plus, A, minus, 1 and 2 buttons as well as a home button and B trigger. The Move has its own home button and underbelly trigger, but just five other points of button input. That makes the controller actually feel a little naked and therefore likely even less daunting to a new player — unless they need their controllers to look like TV remotes.
-No wasted batteries: The Wii remote sucks up AA battery juice. The Move and its companion sub-controller are rechargeable via the same mini-USB connection used to charge the PS3's main controller.
-A smarter controller: Wii games that were controlled with Remote and Nunchuk could be befuddled if the player pointed the Remote away from the screen. But between the combination of camera sensors — the Sony Eyetoy on top of the TV detects the presence of the Move — and a gyroscope prevents games and sensors from getting confused.
-No wire!: The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are tethered by a short cable. The PS3 Move and its subcontroller are not.
-No off-hand gyro: The Wii Nunchuk has a sensor that detects motion, more crudely than does the Remote.
-The colored ball: The colorful sphere at the pointing end of the Move is the thing that the PlayStation Eye uses to detect the presence of the Move and the color changes passed on the software detected and background!
-The Z: Without a Wii MotionPlus, the Wii Remote cannot accurately sense depth. The PS3, however, can detect such movement in the Z-plane. It does this thanks to the sphere at the end of the controller. If the player moves the Move toward themselves, the PlayStation Eye camera sees the sphere shrink and therefore knows the controller has been moved in the Z-plane. Clever.
I’m actually really excited and looking forward to checking this bad boy out for myself!
