Electronic Arts producer Jay Balmer said in an interview with CVG that the Wii’s motion controls(and PS3’s, to be fair) are “messy”. The game on which he is working, a skateboarding game creatively titled Skate, is going to incoprorate motion controls in more than just the steering.

If you’re well-behaved with the controller, the motion control will be super cool. It won’t just be steering [in Skate]; we’re going to put a lot more into the motion controls than just steering.

But it’s very messy. All of the sensors are active and all reporting information at the time, so we really have to find a way to filter what comes through on the motion controls so that everyone can have fun with them.

It will be interesting to see how the controls of the Wii version compare with the somewhat more limited SIXAXIS.
