Interesting poll




The BBC has a poll up on one of its technology pages about the revolution
controller. The poll is simply "Is the nintendo revolution controller a hit
or a miss". Given that very few people have actually touched one yet, it's
a bit of a bloody stupid question, but the results are quite interesting:

Over 21,000 people have taken part in the poll (pretty high, I'd say) and
the results are split right down the middle with 50.32% saying hit and
49.68% saying miss.

The number of people taking part is more interesting to me that the votes
cast - obviously the controller is doing something that's been needed
for a long time and that's sparking debate.

As a side note - a typically inane BBC quote adorns one of the photos:
"The controller aims to be just like a TV remote"

Does it?
