It's hard to explain why, especially when I'm such a traditionalist, but I think it could work. It seems pretty multi-purpose. I am wondering how more traditional games will play. I guess we'll just have to see how things play out.

Were you aware that Nintendo is talking about opening up its entire game library? They want to make their games available to download to the Revolution...for a price.

Metroid on Revolution.
Super Mario Bros 3 on Revolution.

Someone either here or at IGN mentioned Punch Out using 2 of these controllers.
