This is not normal. My remotes don't have to be at eye level or at exactly 45 degrees. I can lounge on the couch with the remote pointing upwards at the tv and it works fine.
No, what I meant was even when I'm sitting up dead straight, at eye-level with the centre of the TV and pointing the Wiimote dead on, the cursor isn't where it's supposed to be or even registering.

yes... but there's no such thing as a lightgun rail shooter on the Wii.
You were complaining about the remote's accuracy. It is no less accurate than a mouse. You're asking it to do something it wasn't designed for.

What, point at the fucking thing it's supposed to be pointing at?

He's trying to play the game as though the remote were a lightgun, which it isn't. That diagram is stupid because the sensor is designed to pick up the remote from a central pivot point. Suppose someone uses a projector to display your screen on a wall -- they'd have to jump to get the cursor to the top of the screen. When you use the remote properly it works quite well; Complaining that it doesn't do what it wasn't designed to do is pointless. .
It'd be like me complaining that pointing my mouse up at the monitor won't move the cursor.
Or it'd be like me complaining that my BMW can't drive underwater.
Or that my sweater doesn't tell me the weather.
Or like well okay you get it already.
