My reaction was scornful initially, until I read the part about the sensors. Seriously, this is pretty mainstream. The first reaction of plenty of people I've seen has become the phenomenon known as "Girly Steering", whereby people tilt the controller when turning corners or whatever, even though there is no actual benefit from doing so. Now they're catering to that, it's not a bad idea. The whole "Remote Control" thing isn't such a good idea IMO, but I don't think it should be entirely dismissed. The practical applications of a the controller that they mention (gold club, sword fighting etc.) a pretty interesting.
"Revolution" has always been a massively pretentious name to give the console, and I believe that's still the case, but they're certainly doing something different, for better or worse...
