Umm...You've gotta be kidding, right? I'll only admit that the Revolution is a gimmick if you admit that every controller up until this point was a gimmick.

And if it doesn't usher in a new era of gameplay, it won't be the tech's fault. As it's been proven a lot of fun, and capable of changing everything...It'd be the people's faults for not realizing it.



EDIT: "Granted, that's not a new idea, but it's something that can't be done with a crappy (in terms of power) system. We're nearing the point of lifelike graphics in real time, and after that, consoles will still keep getting faster and boasting better tech specs than the previous generation could, but that extra power will be used for things other than graphics. Also, you must realize that not everybody who plays games is a "gamer." Microsoft and Sony are looking to please the greatest number of people by upping their graphics a ton. The "gamers" are the minority here."

How much better were the PS2 load times compared to the PS1 load times? If I remember correctly, not much. And the no load times? The GameCube was BY FAR the best in regards to this, and it had a much worse spec sheet than the XBox...and the XBox still had much worse load times. It's all about the developer, and the architecture of the system.
