Nintendo Revolution - While the specs of the unit aren't really known, apparently Nintendo is going with 'buttonless' controllers, which instead use a touch screen. No shoulder buttons, no analog sticks - just a screen. Not sure I like this idea, but I haven't really liked any of Nintendo's decisions for quite some time. Unless Nintendo can pull a rabit out of its hat, I think they'll get crushed and this will be their last console.

I have no idea where the shell this came from, because I have seen absolutely no official news that says anything such. Plus, the Revolution will have to have at least as many functions as a Gamecube controler, since it's backward's compatible. It is also centering around WiFi technology, acording to Iwata himself. Nintendo's interest in attracting new customers doesn't mean their going to alienate their current (huge) fanbase. That would be beyond stupid, borderline insane.
A good link...
