Red light, gray morning
It appears that the Nintendo Revolution will be controlled by what is essentially Powerglove technology:
The controller for Nintendo's upcoming Revolution home console system is a cordless remote-control-like device designed to be used with only one hand. Two small sensors placed near the TV and a chip inside the controller track its position and orientation, allowing the player to manipulate the action on screen by physically moving the controller itself. For example, you could slash an in-game sword by actually swinging the controller from side to side, turn a race car just by twisting your wrist, or aim your gun in a shooter by pointing the controller where you want to fire.
Please join me in saying, "It's so bad."
Seriously, though, some industry-watchers think this is bad, in the literal sense. Others are shitting themselves over how cool it is. The question, dear reader, is what do you think?

I believe that it will be cool. I only fear that it may be necessary to use expensive expansions for certain games.
