Yeah, I find it to be an interesting concept, too. When I first saw it, I was like wtf!? But then I read about it. Well, I am still not entirely convinced, but it's intriguing. The problems I can think of, though, have to do with the third party game programmers. The revolution could end up with none of the multi-platform hits that would be crucial to the success of the console, for one thing, because they would be impossible to port over with a user friendly control scheme. And second of all, how can Nintendo be so sure that programmers will be so willing to make games specifically designed for use with this controller? Its a serious financial risk on everybody's part.

If you could hold this controller sideways and it had a more conventional button layout or if a more conventional controller came with the Revolution, then maybe people wouldn't be so skeptical, but I have heard nothing about such a thing.

Nintendo definately has balls, though

_RED_ stuff
