They should talk about the quality of games that will be released.You have very valid points, but - what other than graphics/hardware can people talk about, when a console has just been announced but is still a year or more away from actual availability?

Donkey Konga!
I also enjoy the Mario Party series, Super Monkey Ball and others. They are just such good 4 player games, which is great when you have another couple over for an evening.

IT DOESNT FVCKING MATTER how poerverfull these things are on paper,
so what if the xbox 2 and ps3 are 20x more powerfull, if they only get used to 10% of their potential its also a waste
everyone bitched about the GC, and the GC IMO was pretty damn awsome on all fronts, even the funky controller worked
and jeasus christ people graphicicial power is NOT the be all and end all of a game/gameing machine,
if a game looks amazing and plays like sh!t then the game = SH!T
I really love how most of you "gamesr" stopped caring about the gameplay/story and other non graphicial elements when it comes to a game
fact is that games that are almost 10 years old that came out on the SNES, which by todays standards lool like they were drawn by a retarted monkey are actually MORE fun to play then just about anything out today

as long as nintendo keeps pumping out the awesome Zelda and Metroid games, they'll be fine.
they really do need more popular licenses, but zelda and metroid will keep them afloat

I'm mostly curious how the back library downloads will go. Essentially that means there has to be a hard drive for one thing. Also, perhaps the "revolution" is that downloading older games will be free. I think that would be ingenious. They aren't making any money off the old games, but people are downloading roms like crazy to play old SNES, NES and GB games. They could get a huge install base by selling the Revolution and offering the games for free. A crazy concept, but it might be what Nintendo needs to do to catch up. Even if they're cheap or go by a monthly fee it would be great!

meh nintendo arent really aiming to play with the big boys i dont think, i read it somewhere. they realise they cant produce something like the PS3/Xbox360 which to be fair are absolute cinematic monsters.
theyre aiming for something different all together i believe. the group of gamers (probably young) that dont care for intense life like graphics.
after readin the PS3 article, that has pretty much sorted me out. im buying a PS3

After looking at the PS3 reviews if the PS3 stays with or above the XBOX in features, games, graphics, and advertsing there is no way they can lose. Besdies...they still will have the entire japanese market to fall back on.

I think that depends on features. MS is obviously focusing on the gamer and the online community. Sony seems to not be as interested in this and not ready to devote all their time to an full blown online strategy. If power doesn't necessarily make a winner, then something like this can make the system more "fun" and appealing to gamers. Graphics on screen will be fairly similar, I would guess.

You guys are idiots. Why do you buy into all the 2-3x and 15-35x sh!t? Does anyone remember when this generation came out? Sony and MS stated all these theoretical numbers, like 500 trillion polys/sec, nintendo posted real numbers that were substantially less, and it ended up right up there in performance.
We'll see, the week as just begun.
