Microsoft Praises Revolution Controller
JoaoPinheiro writes "In an unexpected change from the big three companies slagging each other off, Microsoft's Peter Moore gives kudos to Nintendo's new controller! Xbox VP Peter Moore has said he wanted 'to give kudos [to] Nintendo for its attempt at innovation with the new controller.' Whether the word attempt is meant to hint at some slight sarcasm is debatable, though the overall message was positive. Moore commented the new device would 'bring people in that, as Iwata-san said, are either lapsed gamers or gamers that are intimidated by the complexity of the controller.' He referenced Microsoft's E3 speech, where it was said the company wanted a billion consumers touched by the gaming industry next generation. 'That was an industry message. Certainly, we can see Nintendo rallying to that cry and reiterating what Robbie said on May 16th; I heard the same words come from Iwata-san of Nintendo yesterday.'"
the revolution was really just an add on to the 360 and could slide into the 360's hard drive slot. that would be one hell of a way to stomp sony, and incorporate wifi into the 360.
rofl.... mod this up + Funny/True
Innovation my lazy ass. Whoever thought of playing a game with a remote? I've only done that once and I was sick as a dog. Later that day I figured out why Kramer wouldn't jump when I told him to. The controller isn't so bad. It looks kind of neat... ..and then you get to the attatchable vibra--joystick. It could be only me but I don't want to hold two things in my hands that vibrate, unless they're attatched to a female body.
What does Micrsoft know about innovation? After those Godzilla controllers, I wouldn't listen to them about 'innovation.'
