Miyamoto Hints At Second Revolution Secret

Gamespot reports that despite new information on the Revolution, there is still much we don't know about the console. Shigeru Miyamoto hinted at the DIEC that there was yet more to reveal about the Revolution controller. From the article: "At the Digital Interactive Entertainment Conference held in Kyoto, Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's chief game designer and creator of the Mario and Legend of Zelda franchises, gave the keynote speech. He talked about the history of controllers for Nintendo's various consoles, from the pre-NES systems to current consoles like the GameCube. He ended his lecture with words toward the future, specifically the Revolution, stating that there's more to its controller than what's already known. 'The [Revolution's] controller still has another secret,' stated Miyamoto. 'But it's something that we'll reveal next year.'"

    1) Calling the PSP vs DS 'undecided' is fairly accurate since it's really early for both handhelds. A large drop in price or a killer app could tip the scales for the PSP. The same could strengthen the DS's lead. Only a fan boy would want to say it's all over. Who cares if the PSP ends up selling more? The winner is the consumer who gets what they want, whether it is the DS or the PSP.

    2) Yeah, Nintendo didn't bomb. It sold significantly less units than Sony. To some, that is a sign of weakness. As long as they are sound financially, it really doesn't matter, though. We want all companies to do well. The more competition the better!

    3) It's hard for me to believe that the Revolution controller will be "the greatest thing ever". Everything is speculation at this point. I am just hoping I don't hate it. I think the GC had the worst of the 3 controllers for the current gen.

    4) I agree, Nintendo will probably make the most money. That means they are ripping us off compared to the other companies! (kidding) Seriously though, relax on the fanboyism.
