Pretty much confirmed news:
The Revolution will also be a wireless router for the home, connect broadband to it and it will allow nearby consoles to link and go online. Such as a DS for example.
Rumours:
Revolution will be VERY cheap, will be only a little more powerful than a Gamecube and vastly inferior to X-box 360 and PS3. There will be multiple controllers, touch screen, gyro and camera are all being touted.
If the latter is true then I told you Nintendo are gunning for a different market.

I can just picture the PS2 being used to launch missiles and the fundamentalists have hooked it up to a dance-mat as the trigger.
The word is destroyed to the sound of YMCA and FREAK OUT!

So are they gonna tell us what the Revolution will be? Or are they just gonna kept it a secret?
Are they gonna say anything at E3?
They better not make loads more re-makes of games that were on the Cube, N64 and SNES. That would be lazy, they should make some new games.

I think Dringos a robot.
Just like the Emotion Engine? ;)
Is it a pig to program for though?

I'm confident in saying it will be fairly substantial. The Cell is extremely, extremely powerful.

It's a dirty tricks campaign. ;)
I'm gonna wait until E3 before calling Nintendo stupid.
I really don't know what to think from what I've heard.

a fanboy of what, exactly?
let's evaluate my "load of crap" for a second:
"Urgh. Move the controller?
That's just stupid - how the hell would you have a central position?
You'd look like a moron too. Not good for image."
Point = valid.
"And touch screen? Yeah right. I'm not paying £50 for a gimmick controller. No-one would want to play multiplayer."
touch-screens are not cheap. Therefore, having one in a controller will make the controller expensive.
Point = valid.
"gyro and touchscreen and all this crap is far MORE complicated than what already exists."
Someone wants to play a game at your house:
'right mate, what you do is hold this button in to maintain the controller's 'central lock', then when you want to move you let go of the button and tilt it in the direction you want to go'
or
'press left to go left, right to go right' etc
sounds a lot simpler to me.

OH MY GOD. You people infuriate me sometimes with your stupidity. Sniper, please, read through some of my posts in this thread. Please, for your own sake.
