Revolution stand not a power supply

It seems that we were right to be skeptical about an article in Nintendo Official Magazine which claimed that the Revolution's stand acted as an aesthetically pleasing power brick. Nintendo has officially dismissed the story with a leisurely wave of the hand, pointing out that "It was a small production error in the magazine," and that they have yet to announce anything about the machine's power supply. It's nice to know that blatantly incorrect facts in an official magazine can be deemed as a "small production error."

A Nintendo official went on to say that the Revolution stand is actually capable of firing laser beams, making pancakes and reading RSS feeds.

[Update: The above paragraph is entirely false. We apologize for the small production error.]
