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.

Kind of thing I revel in with my out-of-date information and misguided statements.
I hate the sound of it.
It sounds like it will make gaming a chore, like using a giant roller-ball instead of a mouse or something stupid like that.

We're arguing about games ... about speculation about a console that's not released for 18 months yet.
'tis great.

I'll ask again in here:
How will a gyro-controller work anyway?
Tilt the whole thing around the place?

Arguements about Nintendo are always pointless. ou can debate until your hearts content and then, a month later, the whole situation has changed thanks to some Nintendo masterpeice/utter disaster.

And "buy another console then", "we're appealing to the non-gamer market" is a good way to go about it?

Dringo's lost it in his absence. Come on Dringo, you never used to shy away from some friendly debate. Or maybe this is your way of admitting that you were misguideed...

I don't think that the analog stick changed gaming. I think it was an evolution rather than a revolution.
Analog control wasn't revolutionary, the Atari 5200 had an analog stick, back in 1982. The analog stick on the N64 didn't change the games you were playing, it just gave you more control.
It modified HOW you played the games, but not the games themselves. The change in the games themselves was a product of the increased processing power of the N64. You can't argue with me because I'm 100% right.
A gyroscoping controller would not cause a SNES-N64 style change in games.
you can get the same effect with a gyroscopic controller right this very second on your gamecube - just use a steering wheel. It operates under the same principles.
