It seems that over 80% of gamers are attracted by the Revolution's downloading capabilities. 53% didn't want to buy a Revolution from the beginning (the poll should allow more open views, a question like this would really limit the fanboys). 72% are undecided as they do not fully understand the consoles features (read some reviews!). And 45% thought the controller was amazing (again, this answer would be dominated by fanboys, sorry to say but it is true. This survey needs more selections :P).
