It's also obvious you are a Nintendo fanboy. No need for member bashing.

remember people, the reason we want better graphics is to better immerse ourselves, but graphics is only part of immersion, sound and control are the other two critical parts

imagine in the future where your controller becomes a holographic projection (whereby depending on the game it projects a different image...say a bat in a basball game, a sword in soul caliber 8, a plasma rifle in Halo 5.5, etc) yes this is farfetched and prob not possible, but it takes initiative like Nintendo is displaying to get us in that direction

that being said, I don't agree with alot of Nintendo's ideas, I think the DS is crap, but I applaud their effort and intent

so instead of buying the 85th rendition of MAdden with a coupla meaningless roster changes, perhaps you can try out the revolution

Extremely well said. I totally agree. yes

yes well said, ill give it to nintendo to make up some really...awkward ideas during this point in time, but im still waiting for something really revolutionary to win me over

Edited: and the thing about holographic projected controllers like holding a holographic rifle...that would be hard to just point it at a screen...it would hafto be in a virtual simulation arena or something...

I completely agree. Remember when the "boomerang" PS3 controller came out?

Everyone was saying "It looks so uncomfortable. It's so lame looking. It sucks."

NOW when the Nintendo controller comes out that looks about fifty times worse the same people are defending it with the exact same logic used to defend the PS3 controller.

Karma's a *****.

That's true, but people are still failing to grasp the fact that all three next-gen controllers could be wonderful, or could be absolute rubbish, or mediocre.

Making a decision based on a picture is rediculous. You wouldn't buy a car without taking it for a test-drive first. You wouldn't buy a sofa without first sitting on it. You wouldn't buy a console without having a go beforehand.

To be honest, I perked up a bit and actually started to take notice of the Revolution when I saw the controller.

That's perfectly okay, but there is still no need for member bashing.

I'm starting to get more excited about the controller the more I read about it.

http://cube.ign.com/articles/651/651559p1.html

IGN has a good article on it, especially about FPS's. Can you imagine playing an FPS with the pointer part, along with the add-on with the analog stick. Using the analog stick to move, and the point technology to shoot and aim your gun.

Now that sounds pretty damn cool. cool

Now that depends, I can tell you for a fact which cotrollers may be too big or small in certain areas, or too awkward.

For the causual gamer its no big deal, but when you tournament play, everything matters.

I myself am not too particular to the boomerang controller,as I liked the original ps controller.

I didn't care for xbox, and I haven't seen the new one.

As I said before, if you settled into Sony at PS1 level, you'll love everything they put out because it's never gonna change so drastically that you'll have to re-adjust.

I just read the Revolution Controller interview (provided by Von Doom Industries) and the IDEA I've got in mind from viewing the pics of the remote part, reminds me of the N64 controller. Trigger under control stick so you use both with on hand. Except this time it's the d-pad.

I have no clue if that's close, exact or nothing like how it will turn out. I never judge a controller until I play with it.

Stop all this fanboy bs also. Fans of Sony take things personally more than any other.
