I think that Nintendo are just buying time while they actually think of something to add to the Revolution.

They need to show real games, no gimmiks. And soon.

The Revolution is being pushed to the back of people's minds, even gamers.

I'm telling you right now, if The revolution's big secret is that it can play PS3 and XBOX 360 games, I will s**te my pants with utter supreme glee as I watch the pandemonium erupt!

Now as for the real world, I have a theory that the revolution is basically the NES of today's standards, graphic-wise and fun-wise. I say this because one of the original NES packages shipped with a light gun. And here we have Nintendo releasing a new Nintendo Entertainment System, with a controller that in reality, is an ipodesque styled light-gun.

Amazingly the Revolution will also have the ability to play those original NES games. Back when games could look like crap, yet still be fun. And turn the new controller on it's side? Viola! An NES Pad.

Everyone wonders what the new secrets will be. I say look back in time to the NES days and see just what strange peripherals existed, and you'll probably end up ahead of the game. Anyone remember that floor pad that had the red and blue sets of numbers on it? Kind of reminds me of today's DDR...

The problem they face today i think is that most people just want more power with more mature content and more games and the question remains if they can break this, bring enough devs on bord in time(which i beleive they won't), and the fact that Revo's specs might make it difficult to port multiplayer games isn't helping either.I know it'll play good old games right outta the box but i'm putting the count on -0- as for the other 2. Think i'll consider it like a sp.feat in a movie. So if they can't manage enough new games i won't keep playing forever in hope of a better day. It's good for those that can't afford a new game every month but this aint doin much else...
I'm sure all new N games will be 2nd to none but somehow i just feel their counting too much on back catalog and definitely won't catch up MS that way.
