Yes - why do we have to go through this again? Why does someone have to 
point out this mistake AGAIN when most people already know it!?!

OK - Nintendo didn't bring out original analog control sticks, and 
rumble, and wireless controllers, and most of us are willing to concede 
to these facts. But please realize that - and I'm going to try to word 
this PC - Nintendo was one of the first, modern(ie: 3D polygon capable), 
wide-spread in North America, affordable system makers to have and to 
popularize some of these features succesfully.

If I am mistaken in that statement, I apologize, and would like to be 
_constructively_ corrected. I believe this is what Miyamoto's statement 
was meant to convey: After Nintendo released some of the features, then 
the other 2 major console makers also added these features, and that he 
doesn't want that to happen again because, at least in his opinion, 
these new features for the Revolution are quite innovative. If you don't 
think that he's playing his marketing card right, then fine, go ahead 
and think that, but  don't bash and flame any other person who disagrees 
with you.
