Hard to say since they are playing their cards so close to their chests. I was reading the Eurogamer forum and a couple of people are getting fed up with the same old stuff so it could be time for a change and Nintendo have been pretty good at capitalising on it.

 

I keep having dreams about how I could use a revolution controller
