I said a few times in public that I thought Nintendo might be trouble with the revolution.

I was wrong.

I still plan to get a PS3, but I'm now giving some real thought to getting a Revolution. That controller looks damn good. That controller looks nano good. The idea sounds excellent. Long overdue too - there hasn't been a substantive change in controller design since the Nintendo 64 controller. I wonder if the PS4 controller will have tilt sensors. Probably, as Sony doesn't actually have ideas of their own.

This looks pretty damn cool. Imagine a lightsaber game with that controller. You could be all Obi-Wan on someone's ass. Like the nano, it's a bit of technology that has my hand reaching for my credit card before my brain knows what's happening. Combine that controller with game cube compatibility (which means Zelda!), and I think Nintendo might catch up with Sony and Microsoft. I would have never said that a day ago.

Besides, Sony is pissing me off. I had completely beaten Lego Star Wars, only to have my saved game get corrupted. Not actually Sony's fault, but I've chosen to lay the blame on them. The widescreen setting of the PS2 is odd too. It is wide, but not fully out to anamorphic 480i. You end up with a black border completely around the game. I would have suspected my television, but my TV has been calibrated.

Now if only we can get the thing pushing 1080i.
