Actually, you may be able to feel closer to the Revolution if you pick a spot next to your TV that the console will one day occupy. Then meditate on the fact that the Revolution is already sitting there, albeit in a different time. You of course have to take space relative to the earth, but it's all good. If you put enough energy into it you may be able to tip the light cone causing the future Revolution to align with your current instance of time.

Keep in mind, however, that by accomplishing this you risk punching a hole in our spacetime continuum. This hole would expand outward at the speed of light and annihilate the known universe. I accept no responsibility should this occur.

Great, just great. My cat just got sucked into a mini worm hole. Thanks a lot Neo.

Don't worry, Zelda has cats!

I get it! One of the cats in the Zelda trailer is yours, sucked into the future Revolution! Oh wait, the Zelda game is for the Cube...

Backwards compatibility for handhelds is very useful because you don't have to bring multiple consoles with you.
With the home consoles, it's just a matter of switching the cables (or changing the channel) and you can play your old games again.

At first I didn't think gyroscopic controllers would be a good idea because your wrists would get tired trying to move a mario-like character. But someone at ign pointed out that it could be used for aiming a reticule on a FPS. That I think might actually work as it requires minimal effort on the part of the lazy game.

Its just a matter of switching CD's with Backward compatibilities.... or how the wonders of backwards compatibility can be shot down so easily.... yet it can also have an uprising the size of a typhoon.

Backwards compatibility is there for convenience, and not for innovation or any other reason. If you don't like backwards compatibility then don't use it. Do your old switching cables, and channel thing Cany, but those who would have backwards compatibility for convenience sake aren't at fault for liking the idea.

You shoot it down like it's not needed or people are getting way too excited over it.

One thing is for sure, it's not needed but it's nice to have it there. I still have my PSX but I never use it, only because it's just easier to put in old psx games into the pstwo.

Once again, it's there for convenience.... theres no need to dislike the idea of to like it too much. The arguement is getting tedious ... let's argue about which console will be better or what not.... not over backwards compatibility.

Its there to get money off the new console without selling the old games

i bought the PS2, i sold my PS1 for $25 but kept the games that i could still play using the PS2.

i'll do the same with my PS2 if PS3 plays PS2 and PS1. Why take up space with old equiptment when the new stuff does everything the old could do. and as Darren pointed out, it becomes less of an issue each generation because theres not a huge difference in graphics.
