If that is Nintendo\'s goal, it doesn\'t change the fact.

Personally I would think it would be fiscally smarter for Nintendo to develope software for all platforms. Like you said people will jump at the chance to play Zelda and Mario, but many won\'t buy a Nintendo console just to play Nintendo frachises... Many will, but they would definitely do well cross-platform instead of making a console.

So, what you are saying is, Nintendo should go multiplatform? If they do, then what would we have? Zelda on Xbox 360? Mario on PS3? That would NEVER happen.

people never thought they\'de see sonic on xbox

Nintendo is a very different company. Nintendo has a great handheld market which they currently dominate, and their exclusives are on their handheld systems.... do you think nintendo would rather have mario on xbox 360, or on a handheld that they made? if anything happens, i think nintendo will go totally handheld, and would never become a 3rd party.

Even if they do have a handheld market, they can\'t support another dying console.


I personally don\'t want them to go third party, look at Sega\'s games once they went third party, complete shit.

I\'m more curious about this revolutionary idea that the system is suppose to bring.

Nintendo turns profits on its console.

Hard as it may be, I think the company will be able to shoulder that tremendous burden again.

The Revolution is hot. I don\'t know jack about it, but I want one. I want Chrono Trigger for Super Nintendo. Super Smash Bros. will launch as an online game, too, which is a good first step.

PS3 and Xbox 360 haven\'t won me over yet. I\'ll buy them, sure. ;] But I don\'t know why yet. Maybe Rare, maybe not. I don\'t know. Rockstar? Next Rockstar game should be cool. The graphics are the only thing really lagging behind for them.

The very fact that one of reasons you want this "Revolution" is because of Chrono Trigger shows two things.

1: It\'s a good idea and may be a selling point for some people.

2: It\'s pathetic when that is the selling point for the Revolution. How does that warrant the name "Revolution"?

Yeah, thats what im interested in but i cant say im expecting too much. Perhaps, with Nintendo\'s console, developers will easily be able to tap all of its power allowing the graphics to be somewhere in the field but not touching the competition. Then their whole "revolutionary" idea will carry the console the rest of the way.

If they are able to stay in the game with such hardware, it would save nintendo a lot of money. Perhaps thats the point. Who knows. Gamecube, to my understanding (besides the flipper) didnt have anything crazy under the hood, but it was able to compete with Xbox fairly well. Maybe we can expect the same of this new console.

BTW: I so wish Sega would come back with something incredible and just blow our minds but the sad reality is that it will most likely never happen.

Its a sad thing to see giants fall.

Those specs must have been leaked intentionally.I doubt these are real.

It doesn\'t.

So far it\'s ironic that the biggest revolution is to go back in time and relive everything, heh.

The only forward thinking idea shown so far is wireless play out of the box.

Nintendo caught up with the idea of DVD playback and online play. The machine will be on par with the other systems. Just like the current one is now. It\'s less impressive technically, but visually is another story.

Why Revolution? Dunno yet. Maybe cause Evolution didn\'t sound impressive enough, heh.

How about Zelda and Mario on Xbox and PS3.... I don\'t see why not, why would a franchise have to be limited to a single platform? The big money in software would be multi platform.

Then before you know it, I\'ll be playing Sonic on GameCube. Anarchy.

Well, if Miyamoto has anything to do with it, the console may not be a big step, but the controller sure will be odd looking.

I heard it\'ll have nine handles and no buttons. You throw it at the tv like a boomerang and whatever it hits turns to dust and you lose.

I just saw the press conference yesterday and i have to say, Nintendo fanboys really gobble up anything the big N has to say. In all reality though, their speakers were far better than anybody elses really except for maybe that woman trying to get her nintendog to do things and being unsuccessful.

Me, being into music production etc found that one DJ game thing to be pretty kool. They almost got me interested in DS. The presentation on the Revolution wasnt spectacular but with better speakers than anybody else, they almost make you feel that specs dont matter (hey id love to play all my old nes, snes, and 64 games that i cant play anymore).

Anyway, they said exactly what i predicted, and that was that the console would be really easy to program for allowing them to tap its full power, thus keeping it relatively in the race with sony and MS.

I still think they are making some silly moves but it should be interesting how this next gen turns out for them.
