Revolution Details By End of Year

Reuters is reporting that Nintendo will announce the price, launch date, and further details about their next generation console by the end of this year. Their tight-lipped attitude this E3 is apparently an attempt to ensure they don't tip their hand to rivals. From the article: "Some gamers and industry analysts had criticized Nintendo for providing sparse details on the new machine, comparing it to Sony and Microsoft's unveiling of slicker, graphic-intense next-generation machines...Iwata said the new console is aimed at customers who hate clutter and find current games and the controllers used to play them to be confusing and difficult."

Re:Clutter

I bought a Wavebird for my Cube back in February, and haven't needed to change the batteries yet (AA, not sure what you mean by "remote control batteries"). Not only that, but I've never had any missing "keystrokes" or lag *at all*.

Speaking as a parent of a 14 month old wire-pulling boy, I'm extremely glad that I bought that Wavebird, and happy to hear that the Revolution is going wireless as well.

"Sony made a dual shock in japan before the N64 came out..."

Thanks for proving my point, though it was unintentional. The N64 + analog controller were shown a full year before it was released. When the N64 finally reached market, the competition had already tried to soften the blow.
