That said, I'm excited for both Revolution and DS being online. Which also means I'll have to get a wireless router.

The revolution, yes will have unique new controllers... but i swear i just know it.. its gonna be backwards compatible with GC controllers as well. unlike Dual Shock and Dual Shock 2... basically the same controller, the Rev controller will be radically different.. but the ports will accept GC controllers... but the Rev controllers wont fit in the cube... i'd bet the farm and then some that i'm right... but we'll see for sure that i'm right at E3... which reminds me... you going this year or what? Matt,

Though I hope the Revolution's controllers will allow for the same kind of gameplaying experience. I know this doesn't make any sense, but I really prefer the feel of the N64's controller when playing Ocarina and Majora over the Cube's.

(heck... even Ocarina/Majora on the collectors discs will be playable on the Revolution....) Very relieving news... well..

Maybe not as soon as Microsoft would wish, but within the lifecycle of this next generation of consoles there'll be a marked increase. Prices are dropping fast and you see a lot of HDTV's in department stores these days. Granted, they might be a 4:3 20" LCD unit -- but any game will look way better on that than my Sony CRT. Furthermore it's about convergence ... everyone reading this already has an HD capable monitor, it's just a matter of time before it converges-with/replaces your traditional boob-tube.

I feel like Nintendo was basing their rationale that it would blow over on the Dreamcast's lack of success with it. But I guess they weren't "THINKING" ;) Obviously internet gaming has expanded over the past few years.
