Nintendo Fanboy News Roundup: I Was Right, More Revolution Controller Goodness, And Price Point Details

Like that controller video wasn't enough. First up, IGN has a cool applet that lets you play with a virtual Revolution controller and my reaction to that big A button is "WANT TO PUSH THE BUTAN!" Secondly, hard numbers on the Revolution are starting to dribble out, including a possible $99 price point. Yow! At $99 for a console, you have no reason to NOT buy one. At that price, you could buy three, use one as a console and two as impromptu skeet, and still pay less than you would for a 360. Thirdly, remarks from a conference suggest that I was right, you know, about that Rope-A-Dope thing. Check out this quote, "If we cannot expand the market, all we can do is wait for the industry to slowly die." Which sounds a lot like they'll wait for the other two to punch each other out, then step in and conquer all. Which is pretty much what I said.
