The games make up for that though.

OS X is great , but come on. It really isn\'t that big of a jump from other Linux distro\'s. Then again, I never upgraded my OSX  past panther.

I just checked out the Revolution and for what we know now, wireless controllers, Legend of Zelda, online, backwards with GCN, downloadable N64, NES, SNES... I like it.

And they\'re still holding onto the controller.

Sony and Micrsoft are talking about being ten to twenty times more powerful than the current systems. They\'re also full of shit.

Graphics so far are unimpressive compared to current high-end stuff like the Resident Evil 4s ( on the underpowered Nintendo system :rolleyes: ). The real improvements will come in physics and lighting and background detail and such.

The three platforms will be competitive, just like they are now, even tho it\'s clear which one(s) are more powerful.

Xbox needed an add-on to play DVDs, too. Wonder how much Nintendo\'s will cost....

Heh, it\'ll be worth it if the PS3 is as good a DVD player as PS2 was. ;]

//hasn\'t checked out Xbox 360 yet

oh yeah, sony did it.

wait, they didnt.  damn

oooh, sega did it.

wait.....they didn\'t

that leaves....

nah

I do have to admit that I like the design of the Nintendo console more than the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Yeah, Sony\'s record is nothing but one original product after the after. Good one mm.

Eik, you sound like such a fanboy. Im not trying to rag on you but seriously, ps3 and xb360 games not more impressive than RE4? Wipe the grime off your glasses my friend. RE4 is childs play on the next gen. It may not seem so at this point but just try and open your eyes.

The Xbox needed an add on to play DVD\'s. Yes. But are we talking about a console released 5 years ago or one that hasnt even been released yet? Come on. Same goes for the PS2 comment.

As for Nintendo and what looks like their attempt to hold on: It really is kinda sad to see old legends die hard. Im not saying that nintendo is down and out but they are definately mainly holding on to their core of loyal consumers. Sony and MS seem to be reaching towards new audiences etc. Nintendo seems completely lost at this juncture but we will see what they come up with. I have yet to see the press conferance btw.

The thing is, this has been happening since the dawn of gaming. Big names have died and thats just how it goes. The only thing this gen thats so sad is that many consider the only real contenders to be Sony and MS, making this a two company race. This definately seems like a dearth from the 32bit/64 bit era where everybody was trying to get a slice of the pie (which in my opinion made things a little interesting, not that it is required).

Sony and MS just have so many other areas of big business to fund their projects that companies like Nintendo just cant be a frivolous.

At this point, I am not so sure what to think about the revolution.

jump,

originality and releasing revision after revision to feed societies need for tech comsumption are two different things.

shame you can\'t see this


but nice try to play it off

It\'s wireless.

That was for the backwards compatibility and those damn bongos.
