Have you seen the prices on those mice? They're about £60. Far too expensive for a console controller.
So are you trying to say that it wasn't Nintendo themselves that thought of this idea for the Revolution's controller? If so, I kinda agree. I can see your point, but think about this, Nintendo made an investment back in '01, waited for the price for the manufacturing of that technology to come down so that they can mass produce it. Nintendo really thinks long term and so far, they've been successful with that. Nintendo is the first to bring such technology available to the masses as a standard/widely available item, so technically, that's "revolutionary" ;-).
You still have to give credit to nintendo. These are consumer toys and they have to be somwhat cheap so just about any new tech that comes around is going to somthing that is already been out and proven to work. The big deal about the rev IMO is the fact that they are even taking the chance. I think it has a very good chance of being the next standard for controllers
