Engadget recently interviewed Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. In the interview he reveals that "Revolution" is still just a codename for their upcomming console and that they'll be revealing more innovations about it up until the launch, not just at E3. He also says that they've shipped over a thousand controller dev kits to
developers so that they can begin getting experience with the
controller mechanics. Apperantly the feedback from game developers about the controller has been "fantastic". Reggie promises us exciting news to be revealed at this years E3 and describes it as the Revolution's "coming out party". He also says we'll be seeing a number of brand new franchises coming to the console. Reggie reveals that it's not impossible for a third DS to be coming out in the future by saying: "I wouldnÂ’t say that thatÂ’s an unreasonable assumption. Look at how many times weÂ’ve improved on the Game Boy Advance in terms of the look, the feel, screen changes, and everything else."
Full interview after the jump.

What I have been noticing since the annoucement of the next generation is that are we... meaning the industry, really ready for the HD era. As a consumer we will always want the bigger and better thing but as a company... I am not sure about that. I feel Nintendo is going down the right path at this time. I am sure in the future they will be doing HD and more.
Look at what happening to Sony right now (with the problems of getting their hardware together in time for a spring launch.) Also look at the shortage problems for Microsoft. I am not sure if the Technology is ready for the HD era of gaming. Think about it.
It takes massive amount of time and money to produce the HD games and hardware. Plus if both aren't a mega hit... it’s a huge financial hit for the respective companies. Some may have to go out of business if they fail just once. As much as I like technology and the basis of the HD era theme...I don't think the industry is ready for it.
