I like the PSP vs DS comparison lol
I was expecting a little something more from a console that's supposed to "change the way we play games"... Sure we don't know anything yet about the controller but since the PS3 and XBOX 360 were already unveiled, they could have at least given a little bit of information about it... IMO, the "we don't want them to steal our ideas" thing is bullshit (and that breaks my nintendo-fan heart lol)
I wish I had something really cool to put in my sig...

| Quote: | E3 2005: Revolution Details Emerge
Two-to-three more times powerful than GameCube.
by Matt Casamassina
May 17, 2005 - New details regarding Nintendo's next-generation console, codenamed Revolution, have started to sprinkle onto the Internet. The machine, which will be revealed during Nintendo's pre-E3 2005 show on Tuesday morning in Los Angeles, will sport a slick, black design and a front blue light.
Revolution will be "two-to-three times more powerful than GameCube," according to Nintendo, which also acknowledges that the next-generation race isn't solely about new technologies. By contrast, Microsoft's Xbox 360 console is 13-15 times more powerful than the first, according to the publisher. And Sony says it's PlayStation 3 is roughly 35 times more powerful than PlayStation 2.
Nintendo also revealed that using Revolution's new Wi-Fi connection, gamers would be able to go online to a free gamer-matching service. Interestingly, in a move similar to Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade service, Revolution users will be able to download classic and new Nintendo games over the Internet. Nintendo cited such examples as Donkey Kong and Super Mario Sunshine, which suggests that Revolutionaries could have access to games for all the publisher's previous consoles. |

This news is mostly only good for those that like playing "old school" games from NES-Snes-N64 and GC? Wonder what the revolution will be

But being a next gen console you expect it to do more than emulate old games you probably already have on your XBox or PC.

so true, there are many snes emulator on the pc and xbox already. WHO FUCKING NEEDS A CONSOLE THAT DOES ONLY THAT !!!
anyway, i think it looks like a shoe box and its ugly. so is the ps3... omg it looks too simple. its curved out and thats all. oh wait, theres a hole on the front where the disc player is located. errr i'll pass them both
the xb360 is nice and the custom face plates will let anyone change it to the color or design they want. +1 microsoft

i dont like the xbox360 design, looks to much like a pc and is too thick,
the ps3 looks more console like and has nicer curves.

Personally, I think the additional ability to play old games increases the appeal exponentially for some non experienced gamers... you have no idea how many people at my college would play old game systems because new games are just too hard for them. If microsoft markets it right, there could be a whole new market of people that that side feature alone captures...
In any case, that's all it is. It's an additional capacity, and dissing a console because it has something extra and special like that is just unintelligent. I personally think Nintendo is a little soft i the head recently (well... from n64 till now)... but I don't doubt that there will be games that challenge any of the top ps3 or hdtv games for nintendo. I'd rather play zelda than any single game on the other two consoles...
.
oh hell... I think i'll just buy all three...

Old game systems, like the NES had especially difficult games  No memory cards, so sometimes you had to start all over again if you died in the final level  I've smashed many a controller when playing Ghosts'n Goblins 
Which must be why games have become more popular since they became easier

Even games you could save on back in the day were harder.
One example that jumps out to me is Phantasy Star 2, that game was mean (but so freakin' awesome  ).

hmm I didn't phrase that right... the people I know who aren't hardcore gamers that play old systems have a very ahrd time navigating and dealing with "3d" games... that's why they play old ones.

I never said it was a bad feature, just that you expect your next gen console to do so much more. As for everything else, well I expressed similar sentiments only earlier so I think you've come in at the wrong angle? |

by then most ppl who decided to buy a nextgen console would have either a ps3 or xbox360, nintendo should go the sega way and make some nice games for other systems, i dont see any future here.
what i also find pretty confusing is that nintendo is the one taking chances in this business, nintendo only has access to the console market, if they flop with their consoles theyre dead.
sony and microsoft can fail and still walk away healthy, their gaming department is just a single part of their whole structure, but they still dont risk anything.
