Revolution Controller is Revolutionary
The design of the Nintendo Revolution controller was finally made public today. Its incredibly creative and definitely kicks both Microsoft and Sonys ass in the controller department.. especially Sony who have their weird looking boomerang controller. The Revolution controller comes in two parts (one is pictured above) and has motion sensors so it can detect if you are holding the controller sideways or which direction you are turning it. This can be used in games so for example if you are playing Star Wars you can swing the controller around and your character on the screen will swing his Light Saber the same way you are. So now the Nintendo Revolution has 2 things going for it, you can play old Nintendo games on the system plus it has an incredibly smart controller. [Link]

The PS3 boomerang controller was just a concept, and will not necessarily be the final product. Leaving it to Sony’s “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” motto, you’d expect a Dual Shock 3.
This is a great concept and I hope it plays to the promise, if it does, it surely is a revolution. Yee Haw
