The possibilities of motion

Jun 16th 2006 2:02PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Well said.

It seems that some of us would do well to invest a bit more time getting intimate with the English language and less time trying to literarily prove a point when even tasks as simple as punctuation, spelling and thought development elude us.

Having said that, we all can agree that the comparisons between the motion sensing capabilities of the Way and PS3's respective controllers are limited at best. Nintendo built a system around a new and divergent 3 dimensional sensing technology and set itself apart once again as the disruptor in the video game industry, continuing to forgo the heavily traveled path of exponentially boosting processing power at the expense of the consumer's bank account in lieu of actually evolving gaming into something truly different. As the name implies, PS3 is the true successor to the PS2; the status quo on steroids. The late addition of rudimentary tilt motion sensory in the PS3 controller and then directl comparison to the Wiimote is akin to squirting ketchup on ramon noodles and calling it spaghetti. It’s not the same thing. The "wow" factor inherent with the increase in graphical prowess cannot be fodder for conjecture, but unless something new if offered in how we play then we run the risk of gaming becoming an arid landscape as it did in the 80's. The PS3 will serve its master’s purpose; implanting blueray players across a nation, and secondarily, graphics that will awe you. The Wii will offer you a different experience entirely and both Sony and Microsoft have agreed saying that it will be the second system on the shelf next to theirs. At least they’re half right.

Revolution power supply speculation

Feb 17th 2006 10:37AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I see no reason why this couldn't be a power supply. It could be an option to buy one or not. The Revolution would come out of the box with a traditional power cord or you could spend a bit extra and get the stand similar to what PS2 offered sans the power supply option. I didn't see any interface port on the inside edge of the stand in the pics. Perhaps it uses a lower power charging system like my Sonicare eletric toothbrush. I just sits on the base and charges w/o any silly power ports. Just a thought.
