"If they can convince other people to play"... That's exactly the issue...

Personally, I don't think they can... Just a hunch, of course... If we were placing bets, I'd put my money on Rev. being somewhat of a 'failure' (although that word may be a bit too harsh)...

But like I said, just a hunch... There's no real hard evidence as of yet to show that it will go one way or the other... And that's why I'm really interested (moreso than last gen) to see what happens with the Rev... Because it's so different, how will things play out for it?

Will consumers embrace the new controller? Will developers?
Will people take a look at the graphics and say "You get what you pay for. *puts down the Rev. and picks up a PS3/360*"? Or will they dig the idea of being able to play games in a different way for less?

Tune in next time!
