    Nintendo Revolution controller. Err, what?

    The Revolution Controller Basics: What The Hell Is It?
    The controller for Nintendo's upcoming Revolution home console system is a cordless remote-control-like device designed to be used with only one hand. Two small sensors placed near the TV and a chip inside the controller track its position and orientation, allowing the player to manipulate the action on screen by physically moving the controller itself. For example, you could slash an in-game sword by actually swinging the controller from side to side, turn a race car just by twisting your wrist, or aim your gun in a shooter by pointing the controller where you want to fire.

    It looks intriguing, but.... I'm just not sold on it yet.

    That is so weird, lets see if it works out, GameCubes controllers sucked really bad, too big, too bulky, i'm still a Sony controller fan myself.

    I'd seen a picture before and it looked really lame - but hearing about the motion sensor part is quite interesting.
