If it's more than 200 US Dollars on Launch day, I will eat 5 Raw eggs (one for each Nintendo Homesystem) and make a video of me doing such.

Antworx(last page): Nintendo isn't going to die anytime soon. Unlike Sega, they have a rock-solid userbase in Japan that could see them through any risky decisions, which is why they're able to do things like this rather than repeatedly cloning designs like the other two.
Not that the MS and Sony don't have plenty of their own resources, but Nintendo doesn't have to cope with selling at a loss to stay competetive.

yea Nintendo can sell the GC at £60 over here and they're still making a profit. infact they make more money than Sony and Microsoft on their game systems. especially when you combine the profits from the GBA and DS, its an insane figure. especially with their first party sales. Amazing too how Sony charge more than Nintendo for pretty much everything too, yet their profits are behind. Xbox make all their money from Xbox Live - we're lead to believe as each console sells at a loss.

if any gaming company go away it would be because of money, after all Nintendo is just a business like any other. sale numbers and whatever mean little compared to profit.

just to all the nay sayers that Nintendo will be dead or whatever in the next few years; just ask yourself which company are making the most profits

Well, Sony doesn't sell the consoles at a loss because they have a massive manufacturing infrastructure and do everything in-house. I'm pretty sure they break even. But they do spend a metric shitload on marketing, and that's where their loss is. Their royalties however are through the roof. They do make a whole lot more than the other two, probably even combined, but not at the same ratio Nintendo does. Nintendo only really stays ahead by opting for innovation over cutting-edge technologies with a high relative cost (because they're new: scale back a bit like N does and you can have almost as much power for greatly reduced cost).
Microsoft has the worst of both worlds. They use third-party parts like Nintendo, run a massive marketing campaign like Sony, and I'm pretty sure don't see any profit at all.

I found a new picture, with an image of "The Shell". This is an addon that makes the controller more 'conventional' http://cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/article/651/651559/understanding-the-revolution-controller-20050916041026412-000.jpg

Yeah Nintendo announced there would be a Shell for the controller, the picture AA posted is just a mock-up by IGN of what it'd possibly look like, but a Shell will be an add-on for the more original style of playing but you will still have the features of tilt sensing, pointing etc.

This is gonna be great, at first i was very skeptical. then the Demo's i read about, the comments from people who had Hands-on with it such as developers and the movie convinced me, the idea of having a Shell i think saved nintendos asses, so now people cant really complain about it being a remote when you can play it normally, also theres bacwards compaitability with the GCN controllers on the REV.
FPS's would kick so much more ass on the REV, and theres also possibilities of having RTS's on the REV with its pointing features.

I'll be definatly getting a REV at launch, can't wait

yo, i personally think revolution is going to kick ass! although i think that the n64 and the game cube were, revolution is just plain amazing, even better if they decide to make that gc shell addon or something similar to that mock up, and the controller rotating 90 degrees for a 2 handed controller is cool too

when i first saw it, i was like wtf, i don't wanna hold a remote all the freaking time, and then i saw the second set of a and b buttons, then it was all well and good

Another mockup, I quite like this idea and I think it could work quite well:

The revolution is now confirmed to have free demos for the DS! Which you can transfer wirelessly and play.

I think I'm in love. Two minutes of skepticism soon became excitement. More gaming interaction, METROID PRIME 3 will rock my socks.

Only one question left now:

Does it come in black?

from what i've seen thus far it comes in white, silver (or platinum, nintendo ), green, red, blue (i think) and black. not to forget the multitude of Mario anniversary, Tribal, NES tribute machines.

think i'll stick with white.

one of the demos at the show was Metroid Prime 2 with the Rev controller. players said it was brilliant. so Prime 3 is gonna be pretty smart
