It seems to me like Nintendo is conceding defeat to Sony in a way. At this point to compete with Sony requires losing billions of dollars on hardware. MS are willing to do that, Nintendo aren't. So instead they're going to do their own thing and not try and compete when it comes to hardware specs. They're also not going to try and go after the traditional gamer who demands cutting edge hardware. They want to attract "non gamers" with simpler controls and nostalgia. If the Revolutions controller does have only one analog stick and fewer buttons does anyone think it will be getting ANY ports from other consoles? It'll have to survive on exclusive titles alone which means it'll probably have far, far fewer games than either Sony or MS. I'm starting to wish Nintendo had been bought out by one of the other hardware companies.
