Gyroscopes For Revolution Confirmed
Well, basically anyway. This is old news, but I've found that many people still haven't read the article on the agreement between Nintendo and Gyration, made in 2001. Looking at the gamer's speculation poll at IGN, more people thought the Revolution would have "nothing" than gyroscopic control.
Nintendo made an agreement with Gyration in 2001 to purchase an amount of their stock. The agreement was made around the same time as the Gamecube release. Here is a link to the article:

From the article:
Gyration intends to be the first company to produce game controllers enhanced with gyroscopic motion-sensors, which have a tenfold performance increase over accelerometer tilt sensors and add the ability to sense yaw as well as pitch. A gyro-equipped, motion-sensing controller provides a natural method of game control that draws the player into the game and makes game play more enjoyable. The motion sensor can take the place of a typical thumb pressure pad allowing one-handed game play, or can be integrated into a two-handed controller to add a dimension to game playing not possible with traditional game controllers.

Thats a strong possibility!! The controller will be very different to what we have seen so far.
But i am not 100% sure, if the "key point" will be the Gyro.
hmm i'm not quite sold on the idea but it's a strong posibility.
Yes, Gyroscopic controllers would be cool, but I doubt they'd be able to create a "gaming revolution". Nintendo are still hiding something...
