Nintendo Revolution Controller Opinion

The internet is filled with negative commentary on the Nintendo Revolution controller. Initially I was not impressed either, especially since Nintendo was hyping a HUGE paradigm change for years, but think about this.

Every hard core gamer including myself was making fun of Nintendo for the DS. For the 12 months before the DS and PSP came out, I KNEW I would get a Sony PSP and scoff at the DS. Well what happened?

I wound up not buying a PSP because there were no system seller fun games to justify the $300 price tag. And no I wasn't going to spend $300 to play Lumines and some 2nd tier PS2 ports that I've already played years before. Instead I bought *gasp* a Nintendo DS and I'm enjoying it as my number one gaming platform. Go figure.

If the big N comes out with killer new fun-to-play games for the Revolution just like they have for the DS, it will be another huge surprise success. [Discuss]
