Proving once again that Nintendo's controller is awesome to everyone even before anyone holds it, and yet the PS3 one is somehow inferior and *bad* even though no one has held it or tried it.
Is anyone else seeing the hypocrisy here, or is that just me?
I would say that both the Revolution and PS3 controllers look fairly ridiculous, and I'm reserving judgment on the PS3 one.
Though, some people
have held the Revolution controller, and they say it's comfortable.

The revolution controller still looks too advanced and complicated for the technologically challenged.
As someone who is not technically challenged, you are not qualified to assert that.
I showed the thing and explained it to at least three people who would never touch a game controller, and they're excited to try it out.
And what does it mean for veteran gamers? Are videogames the next thing to be dumbed down? Are we going to have to play by simplistic rules? No more combo attacks, no more roman cancels? No more special moves that require the pusshing of 14 buttons in a specific order?
The controller is versatile, and will adapt to more complex controls for more complex games. Besides, the gameplay that the Revolution "wand" offers is not simplistic, it just
appears simplistic on the surface, which makes it less intimidating to non-gamers.
and I don't think that parents who have never touched a game before are going to start playing videogames in a big craze...I mean there are things that are just a moonshot and that's pretty much one of them...
You have no idea whether they are or not, and neither do I. The
possibility is there; anything beyond that is an assumption, and not valid argumentation.

How exatcly do you spin somthing connected by a chord?
If you're not aware that the Revolution controller is wireless, you obviously aren't paying nearly enough attention to be arguing any of this.
Still, very interesting....
