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.

Yeah, I know of that, and I think it's pretty cool. However, I still have all of my old NES games and play them frequently, so there's not much I'd be willing to pay for. In fact, I own Metroid, SMB3, and Punch-Out. Ah, those were the days. When Nintendo was controlling the market. Of course, that was when they were also heavily censoring and removing a lot of the challenge from their own games...
