GameTrak interview

GameTrak are the makers of GameTrak golf which have a unique control system.
I have it at home and and it works pretty good. But it has a lot of limitations and it's some what imprecise.

In an interview with them they where asked about the revolution and they said this:

"Firstly, we are delighted to learn that Nintendo are really pushing the whole idea of physically interacting with games - this will help us all grow the market.

Until now, we have not been able to spend a lot of time with Nintendo's Revolution. All I can really say on this point is that the developers and publishers, who have worked with both Nintendo's Revolution and Gametrak, have found our system to be a little more flexible."

That has to bee the biggest pile of crap I have heard in a while.

They say this (video)

Is more flexible than a Revolution controller

Gametrack conects your hand by wire. The only way it detects your motion is whit the wire. It doesn't know if you tilt your hand. It doesn't even have the overall preciseness the Revcontroller has...

But we all know Nintedo is going to sell a lot more games/units/controllers than gametrak ever will.
