I'd be slathering cynicism all over that one too if RE4 Wii wasn't the best playing port of the bunch. Shooting at dead pukey crap with the Wiimote>KB/M>analog sticks any day of the week.
Pffft, if the PC version had been ported correctly with proper mouse support and none the PS2 version's compromises then no one would be saying that. Wiimote ain't got shit on mouse for accuracy and speed.
The pointer only tracks when it's aimed directly at the screen. Given the nature of FPSes (and over-the-shoulder fixed perspective 3PS), it's easy accidently to track off the screen. No such limitation exists with mouse movement.
Moving just your palm is a lot faster than having to use your arm up to the elbow. If you're having to drag your mouse right across a surface in long strokes then you're using cheap low DPI hardware. Also learn how to properly overclock USB polling rates.

you should try moving your mouse with your arm, not your wrist. most of the pros do it (low sense is your friend) and it's better for your health and precise aiming, not to speak of that you practise and better your movement since movement > aim. there are not many wrist/high sense pro players out there. It's no problem if you don't play often but since I play very often and I am testing for a mod I had to switch and it helped tremendously (sometimes you wrist starts hurting with high sense - many hours - gaming sessions). I only mentioned the "pros" since they have to play all the time and try to avoid such things as well.

I've never had hand aches after extended game sessions with high DPI mice. I have had with the various generations of Dual Shock though.
I usually have my Deathadder set at 7.5 sensitivity whilst playing shooters, it takes only ~1cm to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other. Seems that theory of yours is entirely subjective.
I play to have fun and sluggish is movement not fun.

You use your entire forearm to play Wii games? No wonder you hate it so much. 99% of the time, I'm flicking my wrist around to do all my Wiimote aiming. It gives me roughly the same grace and speed as I'd have with a mouse.
Also 1cm to move across your entire screen is way too sensitive for my tastes. Having about a 2 inch radius of give to move my mouse in is far preferable. It might take a 10th of a second longer to go from one side of the screen to the other, but I also don't have to scoot the mouse in nanometer increments to make precise pixel perfect selections. In my entirely subjective based on personal tastes and totally what I'm used to opinion, accuracy will always trump twitch speed.

I honestly can't remember. The thing has been unplayed sitting, gathering dust since like March (or whenever the PAL version of House of the Dead: Overkill came out). I ordered Madworld a few hours ago from a clearance sale for dirt cheap so maybe that will change soon.

*Yawn* I line up targets with ease in PC games.

only 60fps ? lol, I'm glad I did not buy a new graphic card yet, just turn off AA completely, put in an old 8800GTS and you get 50fps average with a slower CPU. Thanks for that, convinced me that I should wait for the next Core i7 and dx11 card from Nvidia before switching PCs. Mine is holding up pretty good. and capcom's pc engines seem to work rather good, at least from my experience

Under real world conditions nothing beyond 60fps is ever needed, I don't see what the problem is. Running anything beyond that is only desirable to "pro gamer" tards. These are people who typically play games as new as Call of Duty 4 at resolutions of 800x600 on high end PCs, so I generally take their opinions with a grain of salt when it comes to game and hardware settings/configurations.
By default the game is gimped a little, it natively only runs a single thread, HDR and Reverb quality are always set to low despite what you configure in the settings menu. You have to edit the config.ini in the game's settings directory (typically My Documents\Capcom\Resident Evil 5\).

Have you actually played the game yet?
