The advantage of Nintendo's Virtual Console is that it will be streamlined and most likly easy to use. Setting up an emulator on a hacked Xbox is most likely too difficult for most consumers. I've played around with emulators for awhile and I still found it a bitch to setup MAME on my Windows Mobile phone. Plus emulation is not perfect. I have not played with any of the console emulators in awhile but last time I checked, the emulations were not always 100% perfect. I think (or hope) this will not be true with the Rev's Virtual Console.
Secondly, I agree that Sony and Microsoft are probably going to rip off the Rev's controller. But then again, that is why I view Nintendo as the true innovators. Without Nintendo, we would be playing FPS, Final Fantasy, and Madden for the rest of our lives.
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.
