Ugh... while some shops really refer it as a "new GB", I was trying to make it clear with my family: "It is a Nintendo DS, N-I-N-T-E-N-D-O-D-S."

Xbox 360 and PS3 are killing each other as we speak...
GTA on the Xbox...
PS3 with superior graphics...
It's going to be a heckuva ride.

I state it's a DS... and when someone asks me to explain, I say "I'll eat you!  " |

I've been through all this before with the N64/Saturn/PSX, and again with the GC/DC/PS2/XB... I'm not that eager to partake in the mudslinging match again. Basically, Sony and Microsoft are either bending truths or flat out lying... while Nintendo is remaining characteristically tight-lipped. In my eyes it's too early to get over-excited about any of the next gen consoles - because you either can't trust what's being said, or you don't actually know anything. I'm looking forward to finding out what the Revolution can really do - but all these suggestions that companies aren't including it in their future gaming plans leads me to believe what I was worried about all along: the Revolution controller and possibly even its graphical ability prevent it from competing on even ground with the PS3 and X-Box 360. Not because they don't know anything - Reggie has said certain developers have seen what it is all about - so perhaps they're actually scared away from supporting it. After all, the DS works because it's a portable system with options for 2D or 3D support. Will the Revolution have the same level of attention? Yay we'll have to wait, but if the control is cool then it can compete, but I've heard the why they didn't show the controler is so Sony and Microsoft(nintendo has made anologe sticks, Rumble pack and something else i) forgot |

I think you forgot to finish that sentence - got carried away with your bracketed interlude - but yes... I get where you're coming from.
Basically, the controller is under wraps because Nintendo really do think this will change the way people play games forever... and every time they've said that in the past they've been proven SO right that their ideas have been adopted by the competition... sometimes even before Nintendo's had a chance to release their own version (such as the Rumble Pak... announced first, but Sony had a force feedback controller on the market before Nintendo managed to get theirs out).
Basically, Nintendo is keeping it all under wraps to make sure they're the first and only ones to market with the unique software. If it's truly revolutionary then the other companies may start copying them, but at least Nintendo will be first.
Still... I'm disappointed we've not seen what it can do graphically. At this stage in the game that's just as important as anything else about the system.
