Nintendo keeps saying "it'll be a revolution", but I can't get hyped about it until I see some PROOF of their claims. We got a touch screen on the DS, and we got a frickin' water pack in Mario Sunshine (yes, I AM going to keep using that as an example of what Nintendo calls innovation). That system doesn't exist to me until they tell us what's so special about it. Just promising it'll be special isn't enough. For all we know, they only said that and their guys are scrambling to come up with something to give us at E3 postactively, like they gave the claim first and are struggling to make good on it after the fact. Sometimes I wonder if that's what they did with some past innovations at least :D.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
