I think Scott is just refusing to believe it can be successful until he sees proof. Some people will go to great lengths to avoid potential disappointment.
Myself, I'm optimistic about the new controller... for one thing, many people I've talked to these past few days, of whom next to none owned a Gamecube and less than half played console games at all, just about everybody seemed very enthusiastic when I explained what the controller can do. And yes, these are the same people who never understood why ever anybody could want a Gamecube... and they love the Revolution concept.
Give the narrow-minded a few months to get used to the idea and couple in the fact that the new console is nether purple nor kiddy, and I think the optimism that many feel right now is well founded.
And if the controller can actually be used as a sex toy (which I doubt, since the rumble function seems to be in the remote-like part, but who knows for sure?), well, at least that's another step away from the kiddy image and towards a multimedia entertainment platform, eh?
