This is going to be a legendary thread if this turns out to be real come E3. Like seriously, I fully expect a lot of you to eat crow with some of the overreactions in here. Even if this turns out to be what the controller will be, not only is it still part of a dev-kit and can have design changes, but you also haven't even seen it in action. Even if the controller turns out to be completely horrible it still doesn't change the fact that a lot of you are just overreacting and judging this way too soon before you've even seen it in action.

This is almost exactly like when the Wii controller was first revealed and how people reacted to it. We all know how that turned out.

The controller is one of the most important things for a console. Touchscreen controls are imprecise and you can't determine where the button is without looking at the screen without having your not see through thumb in the way. If Nintendo can't fix this huge issue, 3rd party games will be inferior control wise, and Nintendo won't fill in the void. That is worse than having a weak console that you can't port to.

And the Wii turned out to suck for core gamers 3rd party wise.

That's why I, and I guess most of the others, do not like the direction Nintendo is taking now.
