That's an incredibly close minded attitude. I have no clue how Revolution will ultimately pan out or even if I'll get one, but give them credit for having the balls to not only make arguably the most radically different gaming console in a very long time but believe in it enough to rest their company's livelihood on it.

My main concern with the console is how practical the controller will be towards a variety of genres. The left hand controller attachment and the standard controller shell just seem like a plethora of accessories that, unless every controller comes with both, developers can't count on having, so will therefore design towards the most basic, the single remote controller.

It is nice to hear that third party devs are keeping an open mind on Revolution, but really... if you're not a fan of Nintendo games, there's no point in owning Revolution. Cube and N64 pretty much set the precedent for Big-N fanboys and hardcore gamers.
