Okay, here's a simpler theory that makes no sense but does somehow, i hurt your brain. the base is the converter, Is; the power plug would plug in to the base.
Issue: There's an obvious powerplug on the Rev.
Solution: powerplug on rev connects to the base, the actual cord would then plug in to the base to thee wall.
issue 2: converter's tend to get hot. Why would you want the Rev to sit on a hot surface?
solution: none
theory: void
So here we sit:
the base of the rev is either a hunk of plastic, a poorly designed power converter, or a docking station to charge internal batteries on the Rev.

Revolution stand to double as power supply

It looks like Future Publishing's new Official Nintendo Magazine came through with the goods today as expected. Their "unrivaled access" snagged them one exclusive, and it's a doozy. The Revolution's stand "also acts as a power supply" for the console. This, naturally, raises more questions than it answers.
What about those patent images? The image of the bottom/right side of the unit revealed a bunch of unknown properties, which we can assume connect the console to the stand, but images of the stand reveal no such connection.
Will the stand function as a corded power supply if the unit is placed horizontally? There is a power port clearly visible on the back of the unit which may be used to connect the two in this configuration.
If the unit sits horizontally, will all the funky connectors be visible on the right side of the unit, or will there be a door to cover them? The clean, minimalist design of the Revolution uses doors on both the front and left/top to hide much of the ungainly ports and other visual distractions.
fat christ, no one can make heads or tails out of this thing.
