Axis by axis

Execution6 vs 6

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads2 vs 2

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance1 vs 2

Wii Sports leans harder on variance: Minor physics wobble and CPU behaviour randomness

Optimization2 vs 3

Wii Sports leans harder on optimization: Simple technique tricks like bowling spin are learnable
