The problem with this is that most people voting there will be going off of the BBC article which, to be honest, really didn't explain it very well. Just going by what that article said, I'd probably call it a miss as well, but I love it now, thanks to having read much better explanations of it all.

I'll admit I'm in two minds about the Revolution controller. While it appears unique and provides endless opportunities, I don't know how gamers in the western world will take to it.

Still a 51/49 split towards Miss. Then again, isn't that what they said about the DS? ;)

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see...

I would like to exclude EDGE and GamesTM from that sweeping generalisation.

Polls are just bad, really. Bring back the OASP, I say.

The press in general are morons when it comes to games. I remember watching CNN when they had a segment on E3 they sent a 50 year old grey hair dude to interview software companies n such. Boy did he memorize his cue cards. I bet that guy hasnt even touched a game pad for any system in his life.

I think he was mainly referring to non-gaming press and I would totally agree with that.

I think the fact that the BBC are even bothered enough to cover the announcement shows they're actually not as bad as some of you seem to think.

I realise they haven't said "Best controller EVA!111", but that was never going to happen. Get the new Cube Magazine though and you'll be alright.

Its 50/50
Not bad considering:

Its a UK based site
News sites are usually full of anti-nintendo people, especiallly BBC
No hardware details yet
No game info or media
Once again ITS THE UK

This is the same BBC that said more people want a Gizmondo than a DS in a poll.

he said most, so you can count yourself out of that population, as one of the least gamers ;). I agree whole heartedly with his statment. I strongly dislike the british press as a whole, as they are (sweeping generalisation here, I accept there are exceptions) heartless, selfish, ignorant, moronic and boring. I also hate it when you see them giving people "views" so dumb people can hold on to a view they've been fed, so in conversations with fellow morons they can all agree.
shame people are so unwilling to form their own views. although actually, perhaps its not.
