It's not that I'm against moving around, but is that what we want from a video game system? The time article mentions that the reporter had to take off his jacket to play the system, and numerous E3 technicians have commented on the aerobic natures of the games playable at the expo.
Why break down a barrier with the controller, only to raise another one by making people move around to play a game?
The best part of it all is that Google's homepage earlier today was proudly wearing a HUGE add for Firefox below the search box, showing off their new toolbar, in deference to Microsoft's antics.
Revolution could never work on the same shelves as the XBOX 360, the confusion would be greater than any phonetical "wii" problems. Moreover, as has already been discussed, the name reminds users of both "wifi" and of the innovative control scheme.

Yes, the controller stood out to me as well... why would they go with the photoshopped version? Do they just not know?
