PS3 and Xbox 360? What about revolution?

[Tidus Andronicus]

Because it forgoes accuracy and ease of use for a mechanism that is designed to make it look new and exiting.

What makes you think it wont be easy to use and accurate? From what I've heard its not only very accurate, but also its simple design by nature makes it easy to use as well. And Nintendo isn't trading gameplay for simplicity, as there are still plenty of buttons on the controller, and the motion detection features substitute other buttons, some of which were never there before. lol

Every alternate controller on existing consoles is a gimmick. None of them have replaced the standard controller because that is the tried and tested best method of control.

And Nintendo is trying to change the standard, at least for their end of the market. Thats what the Revolution controller is trying to achieve. Its not just an alternate controller, its going to be the standard controller for the Revolution... meaning the majority of games on this system will be made with this controller in mind. And I can't think of many genre that wont work with the controller, granted that they wont work in the same way they work now... For some genre to be playable with the RevoMote, major control style will be changed... but that isn't to say it wont work with them. Some people will love the new style, and others will hate it, thats just how this is going to work. At the same time though, this controller will open/create many new genre in the proccess.

"Plz note" that everybody who has used the controller has been selected by nintendo. You hardly expect Nintendo to give this controller to critics now, do you?

XD Oh come on... I seem to recall reading about quite a few actual critics getting their hands on the controller. Plenty of critics of Nintendo and even the Revolution have now had the chance to play with the controller... Their opinions change almost instantly. Yes, the controller at first glance may look like a bad idea, but when those critics finally did get to use the controller their opinion changed.
I also see quite a few critics of Nintendo complimenting the new controller these days... cause any good critic still remains open to new ideas. Even the ones that haven't tried it yet, admit it has some awesome potencial. Go do a search on any game site. lol

Add-ons that will cost the user money. Wow, I really want to spend extra to get the full use out of my controller.

But then these controllers cannot be used as standard as if they are used by more than one game people will end up owning several pieces of the same hardware.

Since when has Nintendo been expensive? As someone else said, its most likely when a new add-on is NEEDED for a game, it will be included, normally for no or very little extra cost... and as with the EyeToy, for games that need extra add-ons, the games are released in dual versions, one with, and one without the needed hardware. So you can choose to get the version without the addon, if you already have it.

As far as the games go, several developers have said its not hard to port games from other consoles over to the Rev... And Nintendo themselves said there isn't going to be any noticeable difference between graphics on the Rev, when compared to the other consoles. So I dont think that will effect cross platform games.
And I dont see how people can claim Nintendo is milking their games... yes they do use the same IP characters to much sometimes, but thats kind of the charm of it. PLUS Nintendo doesn't just make Mario games... There are plenty of other games, that are just as good if not better. Games like Animal Crossing are so adictive and fun its not healthy. XD And there is no denying that the Zelda series is as good if not better than the Final Fantasy series. (although not really comparable... lol)
Plus all the game possibilities this new controller opens up... There will be a ton of exclusives on the Revolution, 1st and 3rd party. And those will be exclusive because of the controller, since both PS3 and 360 wont be able to use the same control those games need. If Sony and MS want to get those games as ports, they will have to integrate Nintendo's controller into theirs eventually.
