PS3 sucks, XBox 360 sucks, Revolution sucks

Computers are far from uncomfortable to use... they're just different...



They're designed for the small screen and work just fine at that size. Bigger (GBP/SGB) is nice too, but hardly necessary...



It's only recently that controllers have really gotten bloated, though... NES had four buttons and a dpad, SNES eight and a dpad, Genesis four or seven and a dpad, Saturn eight and a dpad (optional analog stick), N64 ten with a dpad and analog stick, psx ten and a dpad and then twelve with two analog sticks and a dpad... steady growth in features, and I think Nintendo is right that they've developed to a less approachable form... though their reasoning certainly is not perfect (were 'nongamers' any more likely to pick up a Genesis controller than a PS2 one because it was simpler? no...), but it's certainly a well-intentioned attempt (that tries to deal with the issue by not making it look like a traditional gamepad at all). Of course, we're used to gamepads, and Nintendo has that too (the nunchuck, the shell, etc...), but I expect a lot of first party games to just use the basic controller, as one more thing to try to attract nongamers... Sony and MS are not trying to expand the market, in comparison. Making the same thing, but more powerful, won't do anything for that... if they didn't care before, why would just better graphics attract them now? Yeah, it wouldn't.

GC controllers shouldn't work for new games, but the shell will, and what little we've heard says that it should be based off the Wavebird or something, but somehow in a way that makes it appropriate for SNES and N64 games... we'll see, I'm very interested to see what they came up with. And to know if one will be included with the system; they shouldl, if just for SNES/N64 games...

In your opinion.

Thanx, but no.

I meant that including the GC controller with a Revolution might have more developers willing to make games for the system since they wouldn't be restricted ONLY to the new controller.
