Probably the fact that Nintendo's idea is hilariously stupid.

It will be impossible to replace the double sided dildo with the Rev controller

Man these newbs have no trolling skills.
It feels silly playing games the "normal" way now. Thanks Nintendo!
Honestly, I don't see how MS and Sony can compete with each other with their insane prices and also have to take on this new beast that is Nintendo.
If Sony or MS doesn't copy, they'll find themselves left behind. Developers will embrace the Revoution as well as a lot of new gamers. With the price range of the Xbox360 and PS3, many people will wonder why they hell would they want a system that doesn't do anythign new.
Also, the Revolution looks a hell of a lot cooler than the PS3 and Xbox360, the system makes them look like toys. :lol

All the PS3 fanboy "it's retarded and Sony won't copy it" comments aside, I honestly think that Sony will copy it. Judging from the reactions from the non entrenched fans so far and Drinky's prolific posts as well as my own judgement, I think Nintendo has found something truly 'revolutionary' that no one has really thought of that is also very functional.
The simplest example I can think off the fundemantally different ways people could be swinging a sword in a Revoltion and PS3/Xbox360. And it also opens up the home consoles for heavily mouse dependent games that have never worked well on with a traditionally controller. Strategy games comes to mind, and I'd love to wave that controller around like Tom Cruise in Minority report to point at options, planets, and units in a hypothetical space 4x game.

This comment doesn't compute at all. Are you saying that third parties don't want inovation and like how the market is shrinking and seeing their profits are vanishing due to lower sales and higher production values?
Or are you saying that people won't buy the revolution, when every indicator out there says that this is exactly what the industry needs and exactly what a lot of people want. The success of Eye Toy, DS and other genres that break the norm prove that this is what people want.
Third parties are loving the Revolution, hell they might abandon the Sony and MS if the Revolution really picks up for monetary reaosns.

Yes it's innovative that Nin has a gyro controller for the Rev... yes 1st party titles will definitely take advantage of it and they'll put together some interesting things.
3rd party is going to be a HUGE question mark.. because we don't know either way how many developers are going to tailor titles specifically for this controller, nor do we know yet how they'll handle multi-plat conversions(though from the little I've read on this a more standard controller or connector to make it more standard like will also be release?).
"Mass" developer defections tend to happen before the gen... usually not during.

Exactly, because the remote doesn't look like a goofy toy like the Xbox360/PS3 pad.
Hell, a bet a lot of people will accidently pick up the Rev controller not realizing what it is, any seeing how they just minuplated the screen when they moved it.
"OMGWTF" is the first thing they'll say.
Didn't Kaplan say in an interview not long ago that the tech has been patented to prevent copying?
If so, will they start suing if companies use gyro Tech in their controllers without paying royalties to Nintendo?
I know Nintendo NEVER sue when companies make products using Nintendo patents.
Will that change?

Please no. I really don't want to play swinging my arms in the air. I'm too lazy, and a comfortable joypad with only my fingers and thumbs moving is all I need to play...HCgamer said:
))Is it possible, that even though their standard, default controller will be of the traditional design, perhaps both Sony and MS could simply release peripheral controllers to mimic all of the functions of the Revo controller, and thus negate/undermine any advantage Nintendo would have?

It would be funny if the first games to show off this remote/controller are versions of Wario Ware, and Nintendogs. :lol
Anyway, gimmicks are nice and all, but not when they're the main thing. Sure, games made for the controller might be fun (just like games made for the Eyetoe), but so few buttons, it doesn't really work as an adequate "normal" controller. I can't imagine how one could play a game like MGS with it.
Hell, you're naive if you think you can play a game like Soul Calibur on it just by swinging the thing. Have you seen the move list for that game? How about the extreme preciseness of the timing of moves?

man o man, you kids are black and white with this thing. I want the revolution, cause i dont want 3 systems that play the exact same games. i'll get a ps3 and revo and i think a lot of people will do the same.
also, i dunno what that guy was smoking by saying the DS sold really well. i'm pretty sure everyone on here has seen the ds bomb in europe and kinda bomb in the US. also, no ones gong to leave sony or ms just to design for nintendo, thats just crazy talk.
but i think it is interesting on seeing which developers devote more time to revolution due to lower costs. if they have more money to spend, i suppose that means more polished games instead of half-assed GTA rip-offs.
