But like I said, just a hunch... There's no real hard evidence as of yet to show that it will go one way or the other... And that's why I'm really interested (moreso than last gen) to see what happens with the Rev... Because it's so different, how will things play out for it?
Will consumers embrace the new controller? Will developers?
Will people take a look at the graphics and say "You get what you pay for. *puts down the Rev. and picks up a PS3/360*"? Or will they dig the idea of being able to play games in a different way for less?
Tune in next time!

And sadly, I don't think this falls into the lap of Nintendo.
Sure they will have all of their staples, and I'm sure people would buy it in droves, but it would probably been the same people who have been buying it for the last 20 years.
What they need are 3rd parties to come out, not only with exclusives but with ports that can't play anywhere else controls.
I mean imagine if EA were to take advantage of the Rev controller and allow you to directly control your pass. It would allow a lot of people who get pissed off at Madden, but still buy it to no longer blame the controller or other nonsense (and trust me they do, I know way too many people who play Madden)
Or maybe a FPS that not only looks good but offers a level of control that Halo or Killzone may never touch this generation.
I'm sure they are making some backdoor business, but they really need to throw everything they got into the system in the first year or so.
First party or 3rd party because hopefully they can build up a big enough base so that people are more willing to experiment when the 2nd year comes around and the graphics are less of an issue when people feel they need the controller to play.
