I watched a TV program earlier that was on about the Nintendo Revolution and they think the name should be literal. Apparently the control pad is going to have numerous ports too make it almost endlessly changeable. So you can turn it into a gun, stering wheel etc.
The idea that you'll be able to play any retro game as well is amazing, but its once again down to limited appeal.

So is anyone convinced yet that they're going to buy the Revolution when it comes out?
I was positive I was going to pick the PS3 as my next system, but the more I read about the Rev, the more it's starting to appeal to me. Not to mention I think it's potential is enormous with that new controller and it's capabilities..

I'm still skeptical about the new controller, it's a good idea and all but at this point I can't see myself playing with it for hours.
I'll probably end up buying it anyway (along with a ps3), like ngyc said it'll be the cheapest console and you can still use a 'regular' controller for 3rd party games.

yeah I'm gonna wait until I actually see the new controller in action on screen, but I did read that the Rev will have built in wireless support for contollers so you can just use a wavebird..

I for one am not getting either an XBox 360 or a PS3. For all their specs..... they are offering exactly the same games I can be playing on my PC. Hell, they are exactly the same games i've been playing for the last ten years, except for slightly better graphics, slightly bigger worlds, bigger databases and better water ripple. If I get bored of FPS games, I aint buying another one because it gives X times more detail. If I played out Morrowind until I got totally absolutely sick of it, I won't suddenly enjoy doing the same thing in Oblivion just because the world is bigger and the story a little different.... I tried, I got bored of it after 15 minutes. SLIGHT GRAPHICAL AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ARE NOT WORTH $AU700 OF CONSOLE AND $AU100 PER GAME. I MAY consider going for a Revolution... Nintendo ALWAYS offers something new/innovating/interesting in its games (and in this case with its controller) which, along with N64/SNES games, makes it worth considering given the reasonable price.

I agree, I was playing King Kong on the 360 last week at an electronics store and I wasn't impressed to be honest. Yeah the graphics were beautiful as it was set up on a HD tv, but that's about all I found different from the PS2 or GC versions.

I think if they announced that they're working on some decent revolution footy games (other than Fifa!) then it would pretty much convince me to get the Rev when it comes out

Wii?
Why Wii?
Nintendo just HAS to get rid of their kiddie image, no-one over 12 calls their penis like that.

oh good god, here's the story from gamespot...
Oh god.
In a surprise announcement this morning, Nintendo revealed the new name of its forthcoming game system: Wii. "As in 'we'," the official statement adds. For the official announcement, visit the Revolution...err...Wii Web site.
Nintendo Wii
Behold! The Revolution renamed!

After a brief Flash introduction, the site explains Nintendo's move. "While the code-name 'Revolution' expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games...and each other." The site goes on to say that Wii should be easy to remember for people around the world, no matter their language, and that it will avoid abbreviation. The "ii" spelling is intended to represent "both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play." It may also be worth noting that "ii" means "good" in Japanese.
Nintendo sums up the name change with the following comments. "So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."
Game-industry analysts were swift with their responses. "Looks like a good solid name for Nintendo," said an optimistic Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director of Jupiter Research. "The key is making sure they follow up with a strong launch campaign to evangelize the new brand and help drive the message forward."
Michael Goodman, senior analyst of media and entertainment strategies at The Yankee Group, believes the name change is a mistake. "I thought Revolution had much more meaning," he told GameSpot. "It was an apt description for the console. It was a revolutionary design ... the controller is pretty revolutionary. Wii just doesn’t do it for me. How do we even pronounce this? WEEE? I'm not sure this is technically a word. What is a WEE, W-I-I? You're building everything from scratch in terms of awareness and in terms of building a brand. Verses Xbox 360--you're taking the core Xbox brand and leveraging it to a new product. With PlayStation 3, it still has all those great attributes of the PlayStation."
Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter was more mixed in his assessment. "My initial reaction, of course, is that the name is dumb," he bluntly stated. "However, upon reflection, I thought that the name Game Boy was dumb, REALLY thought that the name Xbox was dumb, and can't even recall my reaction to PlayStation. Let's face it, devices with cool names like Dreamcast and Gizmondo fail, and the lame names seem to do well."
Colin Sebastian, Lazard Capital Markets' senior research analyst for Internet and interactive entertainment, displayed Vulcan-like logic responding to the Wii revelation. "The success of the console will have much more to do with the quality of the games and the gameplay," he said. "Nintendo probably believes they've found a name that can stick with consumers. Revolution was catchy, but given similarities with the Xbox 360 name, perhaps Nintendo felt they had to make a change."
However, Nintendo is confident that, after the initial shock wears off, people will take to the Wii name. "The other systems have an extension of their current names--ours is a new leap to something different," Nintendo of America vice president Perrin Kaplan told CNN/Money. A rep for the company echoed similar sentiments, assuring GameSpot that "the name will grow on you."
Oh god.
