Nintendo Revolution

[UK Jester]

I'm sure Nintendo have thought about the idea and have lots of simple games designed for the whole family to enjoy. I prefer games like Resident Evil 4 and PSO which require a more substantial controller.

You are correct, Nintendo cannot compete with Sony or MS, but sadly for me I want something a bit more basic when it comes to controllers. The motion detection could be a good gimmick in certain games but you'll need a decent add on controller which just looks uncomfortable to hold due to the seperate parts attached by a cable. I do hope the connection point has a secuirty clip so if you drop a part or pull it to hard it wont come apart.

The casual gamer decides what console leads the market, they also decide which console gets which 3rd party software and how much space a console is given in the shops. Nintendos failure to capture the casual gamers attention has ruined 3rd party support and relegated the Gamecube, in the UK, to a tiny portion of game shops and virtually no space in other shops like Dixons (no longer sold).

A day after the remote control is revealed, someone from NoA reveals that a more conventional controller casing will also be released that the remote control can be slotted into. Just give potential customers 24 hours to switch off and dismiss the Revolution before revealing in words, not pictures, that Nintendo have thought about the casual, hardcore and average gamers, not just the Nintendo Fanboys and non-gamers (sic). Mind you, the Nintendo Fanboys would probably buy the Revolution if the controller was a dog turd in a plastic box!

The non-gamer market is certainly differn't, but does a games console exist for the non-gamer market realistically? And what does that do to the gamers who invest in the console? I will wait and see before I change my signature.
