poor microsoft indeed...talk about living in other peoples shadow...They come out with the price point first, the system faster, and the displays sooner, and PS3 runs it over, followed by an outrageous crowd for Nintendo.
Watch Nintendo keep a RIDICULOUSLY low price on the system, cuz they simply did't "beef up the spec's" and PS3 and Microsoft itch to catch up...all the hard work and thought put into these High-Priced Titans...fades away...
faaaades awaaaaay...
and i did not see the sparkle video...sorry
your right about the wire entreating on the movement, but i'm sure it won't interfere with gameplay...its way longer than a meter's length, and you won't have trouble with long slashing movements
but before i try to re-design it, i wanna try it out, see what it feels like...i think it'll work out for the better...
I BERIEVE!!!
Any third party that wants to port their games to Nintendo, need only map their controls on the gamecube controllers the Revolution has sockets for.
if anything, PS3 and XBox360 have porting issues
because whatever is initially made on the Revolution with the new standard will have difficulty being ported to the other consoles
and remember that since Gamecube, Nintendo has been trying to make game dev on their systems top priority, easy for the creators...how hard is it going to be to come up with something decent, fast?
there are too many people underestimating Nintendo at this point....
dude...I agree with you but...there is NO PORTING ISSUE

Nintendo's best Offense is a kickarse Defence...the games made by third parties initially USING the new controller interface WON'T be portable for PS3 or XBOX...so you could say PS3 and XBOX 360 are the one's with the porting issues.
and it doesn't take a genius to figure...hey lets make Onimusha IV for Nintendo's new console..or high flying force-using lightsaber weilding action man...blocking blaster bolts and slicing through enemies...Bill Gates sealed the deal on Nintendo dude..."It will remain a NICHE" damn right this Niche is gonna kick butt!!!
um...just to clear things up if no one has, there is no porting issue, if third parties don't wanna code for the new controller-type, then they'll map their button setup on the gamecube controllers for the slot the Revolution has for them...if they DO wanna dish out the work then thats fine too...
but allow me to freak out for a second here...i've seen something similar to this back in 2003 in a video online of some kid playing a sword game in an arcade with a fake katana no bigger than this "remote" he blocked, attacked and moved flawlessy in the game, and there's no doubt in my mind its going to work....
dudes THINK...I SWEAR TO GOD....THINK!!! if IF IF some nut at LUCAS ARTS decides to say..."hey...lets make a Jedi game with Revolution...it would be interesting..." or any other Star Wars type game....all the Sony, Microsoft OR Nintendo-fanboy's wouldn't compare to the AWSOME ONSLAUGHT that STARWARS Freaks would dish-out in anticipation of such a game...their numbers are STAGGERING!!!!
