Actually backwards compatability is a huge seller to many people, including myself. I've already sold my gamecube while I can still get a decent price for it and will buy the revolution after the first price drop. I also have quite a few PS1 games I play on my PS2. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean other people don't. Especially when you consider how much gaming has grown and how many games on the current systems people will want to keep and play again later.
Also, Xbox 360 will not come packaged with the hard drive, it will be an optional purchase.
Third, the revolution will not have any kind of touch screen or pad. They have stated this a couple of times. I doubt they would use 3d goggles. That would just be stupid. The only way it wouldn't be is if they sold you a 3d headset so you could actually look around while you're in the game. I don't think technology is even close to allowing that in a decent looking video game yet though. Some third party company tried releasing one but it didn't work for crap. That would be fricken sweet to play halo2 with one of those though.
As for the controllers, I think a cross in size between the large and s xbox controllers would be perfect. I don't really like the small one when playing FPS's or racing games, so I use the big one mostly. That and the small one's right trigger isn't as sensitive as the large one so it's hard to do things like drag race in NFS undergrounds with it. Can't really hold a constant speed very well. Anyways... I like the layout of the sticks on the xbox controllers better so if all the systems switched to that I would be happy. Havn't noticed nintendos controller yet. Probably don't want people to know how wierd, pointless and all around stupid it will be. I know they like to be different... but being different just for the sake of being different is stupid.
