May the internet be quiet of Megaton guff once more.
If the controller is so amazingly revolutionary, then it'll be impossible for the other companies to 'steal it' or whatever without saying the controllers they put out weren't actually real ones, and putting everything back on to the design board.
Not quite as easy as sticking a couple of vibrating motors inside the casing.
Anyway.

Copy and paste that into your File > Open URL box in media player, skip a couple of minutes then let the big man massage back your reassurance in Nintendo with his comfortingly deep voiced words.
Yeah he's saying that he wants lots of differnt genres of games, but how can he possibly want to discourage lots of games? Obviously its better if developers choose to make new games instead of clones, but if they want to make clones then don't stop them! Don't "make sure" they don't do it! It's not going to cause any harm. It's the exact sort of arrogance Nintendo always display - thinking "It's our console we want only games we approve of", like they did with the N64 - and look how it killed 3rd party support on that.

"One thing we want to make sure that we don't do is have too many games of the same type or genre" sums it all up.
Big ol' Reggie talking about timetables being in motion for Revolution information being released - it's reassuring to know Nintendo have actually got stuff ready to show and know when they are going to show it - rather than just staying worryingly silent and looking like cockfases which is the impression the conference gave out to some.
