Nintendo Revolution or Nintendo 180?

OK, I'm not here to completly trash this hyped new Nintendo controller, but I mean, really, how fun can pointing a "T.V. remote" at the screen be? I know that the good ol' guys at Nintendo are trying to come up with something fresh, new, and innovative. For cryin' out loud, these are the guys who pioneered the analog stick, which we now know and love, as well as the "Duck Hunt gun", and portable gaming systems. But to tell you the truth, I don't think I was ready to see this great new controller just yet. Many posts I have read praise this controller for being "as close to a keyboard/mouse setup as you can get on consoles", but did the guys at Nintendo think about us gamers who don't particularly favor the keyboard/mouse setup? Sure, they say it is more accurate for FPS's and you can even "turn on a dime" while playing, but who says that I can't already turn on a dime while I'm playing an online Halo match, or owning the baddies on Battlefield? And how would reloading be with only two buttons? Some are suggesting you may have to point off-screen to reload and there also may be a "dead zone" in the middle of the screen sou canturn, or go forward, as well as others speculating the game will move for you. And still more say the game will auto aim for you while you point and shoot. I also know that no one (besides some of the lucky reviewers and E3 goers) has gotten to play with this control, so it's all like I said, speculation, but one can only speculate so far from the actual truth before hitting close to home. But even still, I haven't gotten to play and expierence this new concept for myself, so bashing it will do me no good, other than gaining hateful messages in my inbox, so I can't judge this book by it's cover. I just hope Nintendo doesn't let us down with this new product. Not all revolutions turn out so well.
