The Revolution and Time

Time magazine recently made a list of 5 New Things that Will Blow Your Mind and the Revolution came in second place. Only second to the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner plan.

"When it comes to video-game controllers, Nintendo has always been an innovator. Back when Atari and its one-button joystick ruled, Nintendo devised a two-button controller with a directional thumb pad. Then came action-sensitive vibration, wireless connectivity and an analog stick for 360Ëš steering. Now the company hopes to shake things up with a wireless controller for next year's Revolution console that will allow players to apply real-world physical experience to games. The one-handed grip has motion and position sensors, so if you're playing a Ping-Pong game, you just flick the controller like a paddle. Or, to shoot, take aim and tap a button. For more elaborate games, a second piece with analog stick and two triggers (for that extra itchy finger) can be connected."

It looks like Nintendo is getting lots of praise from many sources, but will it make a differance in sales?
