I tried it. The differences are many, and major. The Wii-mote is really only a 1-D controller. So like hitting a tennis ball is a binary action, swing or not. No underspin, topspin, inside out forhand, etc.





With the SixSense controller and their racquetball demo, you can control the pace of the racquet face, angle of attack on the ball, spin, etc. I would imagine, though didn't try, the golf game demo where you can get control over the face of the club (slice, underspin, etc.) in addition to the smoothness of the swing, head acceleration, and so forth. Given a full on game development with suitable controller, I think it'll revolutionize many games, and not just sports and shooters. Add in a 'casual mode' for the Wii crowd and you have, IMHO, a real leap forward in gaming controls.
