I don't get the purpose of that new Nintendo controller so I'll wait until e3 to go bonkers over anything. Things are getting more interesting, though.

The purpose of that controller is to take advantage of new opportunities, leverage their current market philosophy to the detriment of the old razor/blade model Sony pioneered to much success against them and defend themselves from encroachment by Apple given the touch screen is seen as their forte.

We won't know their direction until we've seen the thing ourselves. That's all I'm saying Remember what the Wiimote mockups looked like in 2005?

Anyways, backwards compatibility to Wii and Gamecube games would be a huge selling point for their next system. Especially for the core users who didn't buy a Wii. I'd love to play Wii / Gamecube games in HD and Virtual console games should see a resolution bump, too.
