I think you made a strong case for this controller, I just don't agree with your conclusion. The tech is new indeed, but new isn't always better. The X1 was supposed to be always online, something new in gaming, but that didn't sitt well with gamers. And Like I said before, I don't think "casuals" are going to spend cash on an entirely new device that (only) play games.

Question, if Nintendo just reproduced the same thing every gen, would they be Nintendo.  As a gaming company, it really does seem like Nintendo actually tries to progress the console instead of just throwing out another version with better under the hood parts.  Its this risk vs reward that has probably kept Nintendo revelant for all these years.  Yes the Wii U did not take off but that doesn't mean the quality of the system was bad.  I actually have a Wii U and think Nintendo made a great device.  The problem is execution in other areas prevented it from gaining any traction.

I believe if Nintendo is making this controller as adaptable as people has suggested and the patent application, people might be very surprised at the final product.  I am more interested in this controller and how cusomimizable it can be then any current static design we see from the other vendors today.
