Actually, I do in fact have a GameCube. I've had it for a year now. So the last time you checked was quite a while ago.

I prefer to give my money and support to companies who show respect to my demographic, and don't rely on the reputation they earned years ago and continue to use to suck money from people.

Right. And what exactly is your demographic? The "don't change anything" demographic? Because surely it's not the "people who like lots of first person shooters" demographic. People who have actually tried the Revolution controller on a modified version of Metroid Prime are saying that it works even better than a mouse and keyboard.
By the way, the available attachment for a traditionally designed controller—which is to say one with four face buttons and some shoulder buttons and two analog sticks and so on—was specifically designed so that third parties could use it for porting as well as to play backwards compatible games. Since I know you're literate, I'll assume that you haven't totally missed the ball and think that Nintendo's only selling point is backwards compatibility.

And yes, the DS is doing just fine... when you add in the Eastern market. So is the Gamecube. But that has little to do with my point, does it?

Actually, the DS is doing fine in the U.S. as well. And Europe. That counts as "western," doesn't it? Look up some numbers some time. The PSP is getting a lot of buzz because it's
new, but it hasn't managed to throw Nintendo off its throne just yet.
My point, simply put, is that just because the Revolution resembles the DS in some way and has what you think is a "gimmick" doesn't make it bad.
