Bursting onto the web today is the umpteenth fan-Photoshopping of the mysterious and much mooted Revolution controller, this one via Cubed3.com. Many theories have circulated the Rumournet about what the secret input device’s vaunted USP will be – with everything from telepathy to gyroscopes passionately postulated. Perhaps the most popular and widely held belief - at least the one we most want to believe is true - is that the console will converge Nintendo’s handheld and home video game platforms – that really would be revolutionary.

A controller-mounted screen is shunned by this hoaxer, who rather oddly finds the prospect of some sort of motion-sensing device far more exciting. Note that the controller is black like the prototype shown at E3, and that the trend of ever-decreasing Nintendo controller face buttons is rigorously followed.

We refuse to believe that this could ever be genuine, and even if it were true, blind fantasy would be preferable to heartbroken acceptance. But it is perhaps worth pointing out that Nintendo’s PR approach to the forthcoming console generation has generated an inquisitive and creative mood amongst their fanboys, whilst Sony and Microsoft aficionados trustingly intone processor speeds and poly counts.

SPOnG will keep you up to speed on more 'exciting' amateur Photoshoppery as it breaks.
