I blame Nintendo... it's rare for a next gen to perform worse than previous gen, but that's what happened to wiimote, the supposedly "HD" joycon just don't have enough fidelity when compared with Wiimote, I doubt it performs better than wiimote when tracking in air.

The wii is probably not as good as you remember. I don’t know the technical terms, but the original controller didn’t actually do 1:1 tracking. Someone smarter than me explains here:

They added motion plus later, which was better, but also required frequent recalibration.
In addition to Nintendo, MS and Sony took a shot at it. I don’t blame Nintendo, I think people just stopped caring.
