Nintendo De-Evolution Controller

What is Nintendo's idea of a next-generation controller? What is cutting-edge and the next big thing in gaming? What is their grand concept to ensure that they take back the market from Sony and Microsoft?

A remote control.

No, I am not kidding. This has been confirmed from multiple sources. They're idea of a 21st century technology is a form factor that was developed for TV sometime in the 1970s. Now, I am not knocking 1970s technology - the company I work for runs on huge mainframes who do the job better than newer tech could do. But this hardly seems competitive when compared to the current PS2 controller... or even the lumbering behemoth X-Box controller.

Apparently, Nintendo has given up competing on terms of technology or innovation. Between this and the Nintendo DS, their bread and butter is the novelty factor. After all, the VirtualBoy worked out really well, right? Right?!
