I'm willing to bet money that, could you be arsed, you'd be able to trace the evolution of the Wiimote from some device in some obscure arcade machine which could recognise movement along one axis, then a second which managed two. The chances of that jumping fully formed out of someone's head is tiny.mistercrayon wrote:The last revolution was the wii remote.

I think revolution is taking an existing system and doing something with it that's so different that people say "well bugger me I wasn't expecting that to happen" etc. I don't think we've had that for a while and it could be due to a lot of what 10p said, but I do worry that it could also be that it doesn't fit the business model of major publishers.

Yes, we can build on othet things, but we are talking in the context of videogames,so your arguement that Miecraft is just Lego doesn't hold.
