"Other bit about the hardware is the battery life of the remote. Sony said their controller was going to last six hours, I was ready to start laughing about it because compared to the impressive battery life of the wavebird the ps3 controller is a joke, but what if the remote is the same? I mean it even has rumble and also motion sensing, do this consume battery life a lot? and is it going to be recharchable batteries or what?"
The wiimote wont have buit-in recharchable battieries or be able to use internally chargable battery and some more bad news:
"The Wiire asked Barr if the Wii controller battery life will be similar to that of the GameCube's WaveBird. "Absolutely not," said Barr, further explaining the amount of information sent with the Wii controller is substantially greater than the WaveBird's data transfer. The Nintendo WaveBird lasts for approximately 100 hours when using standard alkaline batteries"
Start buying lots of AA bateries.
