Perry Kaplan, NOA´s vice president of marketing and corporate affairs was recently asked about the revolution controller. Nintendo said one of the main reasons for not showing the controller was that the comptition might decide to copy the idea and add it to their own systems, so Kaplan was asked if the controller is actually something that can´t be simply added by Microsoft or sony as an add-on:

“The entire controller will be remarkably innovative. We’re working on something that truly will provide a unique gameplay experience. That’s our goal — to not only have a unique controller, but introduce a new way to enjoy games. We’ll have to see if its innovation inspires others to creativity as well. And remember, we are securing the appropriate intellectual property rights for the product.”

I´ve always wondered about this, i think the unique feature of the revolution´s controller would have to be something that directly interacts with the console´s hardware, otherwise, there´s no point in hiding it since they can just add it later even if the 360 or ps3 already launched.

Hopefully we´ll find answers this week, get ready for the TGS!.
