Nintendo's 'Revolution'

Nintendo Revolution

Ok Nintendo took our suprise last year when miyamato shows us a 'revolution' inshape of a dvd player remote, and so started the sceptics.
What could this wand of magic do, how could it be used in games and what about games that could'nt use it.
The big thing about nintendo is, they make consoles to make money, unlike Sony and Microsoft who actually lose profit on the first year of production. This is where nintendo's problems begin.
Ok so we start with the controller, FANTASTIC i thought to myself, but then, what games do i like? I like FPS, driving games, third person shooters, sports titles like fight night, but hang on. Do i want to paly my games like that?? im quite happy using two analougue sticks so why relearn my gaming knowledge for the sake of this new console?
How can i play prince of persia with this controller.
The whole idea behind the revolution is simple. Keep it simple.
Its always been nintendo's way, they want to intrigue new gamers of all ages. They tear themselves away from the hardcore gamer crowd, and yes make some kidish and some medicore games coupled with some great 3d platformers.
But the point is if i want to play a normal game with revolution i have to use a normal controller. And when i do that i have the weakest sound, graphics and performance of all the next gen systems, so for the few games i can use the controller for, whats the point of having this new system?
In my opinion that is the biggest question for this upcoming generation, and i think its going to end like the cube. Slow rate of games few true AAA titles, more mario spin offs that are short and trying to use this new controller, and then weaker counterparts of PS3/360 games that dont come close in visuals game performance sound and picture output. (no HD)
I never understood Nintendo, why make the n64 with cartriges when sony did better and more profit of using cd's. why did nintendo make small lower copacity discs for the gamecube.
But then we look at the ds's leed over the PSP and ask ourselves, is this really the future????
