June 30^th, 2005 (11:44am) - In an interview with Electronic Gaming Monthly, Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s VP of sales and marketing, revealed that the controller for the Nintendo Revolution has been shown to a number of software developers. In the interview, he stated that just because "you and your fans haven’t seen the controller doesn’t mean that no one else has."

"The thing that I always find surprising, and certainly in the last year I’ve had wonderful opportunities to spend quality time with a number of our key third-party publishers, is when you sit down and share the innovation with them, just how excited they get," said Fils-Aime. "I saw it firsthand with DS, we’re seeing it now with Revolution."

In addition to this, Fils-Aime reaffirmed that the Nintendo Revolution will launch at a significantly lower price point than both its competitors, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

"We have to assume that from a pricing standpoint, we will be substantially lower than the competition," he said, going on to say that this would be because the Revolution won’t have "all of that added fluff that a gamer, frankly, doesn’t [want] - it’s not core to gaming."

For quite some time now it has been rumored that Nintendo will reveal further details about the Revolution in August. We’ll keep you up to date on any Revolutionary developments.
