A positive or negative effect could come from the Revolution brand new controller. Would it bring or make third party companies to the Nintendo Revolution? At this point, Nintendo third party support has been minimum at best, so I really don't see a downfall of making this move and I can only see it as being a positive at this point, because the controller allow third party companies to try new and invite things with their games they develop for the Revolution, no?
You point out why the GCN was not that successful. What did it offer other the other console? Nothing much, beside not breaking. Mind you, I'm a fan of the GCN, but compare it PS3 and X-box, it had nothing. Sony depend on it's excessive game library once again and X-box depend on it's internet play. Nintendo didn't have either of those feature or a special feature of their own to call, so their GCN was smoked during this generation to be honest. During this generation, all console have internet access; PlayOnline, X-box Live and Nintendo Online. I forgot what Nintendo calling their internet online gaming. Hopefully, the third party support will be spread more evenly during this generation. Only time will time at this point.
