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.

Bah, what's the fun in being reasonable?
Ifs and maybes never got anyone a decent argument.

There will probably be a few buttons around the edge as the main buttons with the touch pad for more complex games.
That is IF they do this.

I think you're both too extreme.
Dringo says that Nintendo will think of something that'll be amazing. Well let me see in to your crystal ball with you...
FFF insists that a controller won't change anything. Well aren't YOU a tarrot weilding whorre! :-P
How about, this new control scheme has potential, but the chances of Nintendo making something good out of it for it's launch are a bit...? :-)
Personally, I think they should leave out touch screen controllers until they have that pop-up button thing (I'd credit you again FFF but it's becoming a bit of a mouthful now! :-D) where the touch screen can pop-out a shape.
Then, so long as it had shoulder buttons, the pad could be either classical or whatever, depending on the develloper's dreams.
Now THAT would be an AWESOME Revolution, but this whole "pop out" touch screen would take years to devellop.
Maybe for the next generation... ;-)

No but it can help increase interactivity.
How do you know how Nintendo's gyroscopic controllers are going to work?
Nintendo are masters at game creation, what makes you think it is going to be awkward to play?
I do not know what Nintendo are doing, I'm just open to the fact that a gyro controller could be ANYTHING! It could be a bracelet! I dunno, but whatever it is, if a gyro system is used (and it is likely to be an extra, used for a few games, rather than the full blown control method) then I can bet my bottom dollar it will work.
Because Nintendo don't do shoddy products. At least not since 1992's Virtual Boy, and that wasn't a full blown next console.

Ahahaha. Who's being closed minded?
"Ooh, Ninty will think of something!?!?!11"
Yeah, way to actually think about anything.
Excuse me for pointing out the fundamental flaws in an idea, and therefore being rather cynical towards it. One kind of follows on from the other.
Gyro technology in a controller will be unwieldy, awkward, expensive, innacurate and not to mention pointless. Where's to be happy?
Personal insults really don't become you, Dringo. Especially misplaced ones.
Optimism is a wonderful thing. Misplaced optimism, however, is not doing anyone any favours.
Use your head.
A new controller is not going to revolutionise the games industry.

Sarcasm?
I can't believe you guys are all so closed minded that you can't see past your spectrum.
You really have no hope, no ambition. You moan, you whinge and you snipe and anyone remotely optimistic.
Sets you up for life.

There's actually no reason why he couldn't be smarter than them.
Nintendo is a company made up of normal people. They're no super-human mega-geniuses or aliens, you know.

Hohohoho. And with that, Dringo finally crosses the line between common sense and stupidity.

Hohohoho. And with that, Dringo finally crosses the line between common sense and stupidity.
You really do suck balls at arguing, Dringo.
