They're holding the conference now, so it'll be a while yet.

Oh, and you have 12 months to wait, there's no rush.

Well, looks better than the other 2 at least. Hardly a ground-breaking design classic, though. But who cares really?

As for power ... you can't say anything yet. It's all smoke and mirrors until the first playable games come out, and you can see the truth.
If the Revolution is 3 times better than the GC, that'll do me plenty.

Anyone seen those controller mock-ups that were hanging around the gamespy forums or something? Two little grips, one in each hand - looked pretty cool - exactly what I was imagining talking about one-handed controllers in the endless Revolution threads.

"THe codename revolution looks to be the final name of teh console"

Feck. It's a gay name.

I'd rather it was called "Nintendo 5"

Or even "Nintendo S" because S looks like a 5.

Oh, and I hate that design, but it doesn't have any controllers/wires plugged in, so maybe it'll look cooler once it does (it damn better)

And you can just tell that I typed that quote myself.

I'm guessing all the controllers will be wireless as standard.

I half-retract my earlier comment about power - having just seen the PS3 Killzone 2 footage. Not to sound like a casual fanboy chav, but omfg m8z!11
Games come first, of course, but ... well, just look at it.

Nah, I think you'll be able to plug it in a socket or use a wireless controller.

You can't get vibration in wireless controllers because it drains the controller's batteries far too quickly, and people will give up if they have to replace batteries every few weeks.

There could possibly be a wireless receiver built in though, and controllers can have the option to play wirelessly or not, with the wire being retractable inside the controller (making it bulge slightly, but you can use it wireless or not wireless too)

Xbox 360 needs an extra wireless router to go wireless right?

And that's what the Revolution will be, aswell as a console, right?

Seems like a match made in heaven.

Edit: Apart from the Revolution being out a bit too late to catch the early 360 sales.
