looking at it again, there does seem to be limitations which werent obvioust at 1st. its basically a 1:1 wiimote and nothing else
if you consider most wii games, there is a definite need for the nunchuk controller to increase the number of control options. the use of the analogue stick is crucial too.
the wiimote or ps3mote on its own would be pretty limited given that most games on ps3 will make use of all the buttons on the ps3 controller. unless they slap like 6 buttons on the ps3mote and you get 2 (one for each hand obviously) but I would think that would be overkill.
its clear nintendo put a LOT of thought into their control scheme and the number of Wii sales shows its success. its intuitive but it can also cater for more serious titles like FPSs etc Sony would really need to go back to the drawing board with their control scheme to make use of the ps3mote effectively. A very very costly exercise at this stage.
but im getting ahead of myself, its just a prototype to demonstrate the technology is availabe
