One thing I just don't get is that while the new consoles seem to mostly favor 1st person games (just look at the launch lineup of the 360), the controller is still mostly intended for 3rd person games. I mean, compare the 1st person experience of mouse and wasd to a gamepad, the pad just sucks so bad you don't want to touch it with a 10 feet long stick. I mean what's the deal with the pad. Shouldn't it be getting a makeover for 1st person games (like a gyromouse or something. Any news on the revolution controller?

It uses OMAPs DSP.
Not that surprising. That way Nintendo doesn't have to pay the DVD licenses. That's like 20$ saving in the total cost of the product.
