Delayed until November (just like it said it would be - none of this spring/summer crap), 60GB hard drive, runs Linux and is a home server, fully backwards compatible and will bump legacy games to HD quality to name a few features.
It looks good.

I'm more likely to get a Rev at launch since it should be pretty cheap. I'd like to get a PS3 though eventually...

Revo is for meeee.
Mainly becuase I think it's outrageous paying 900 dollars for something that'll most likely make your life worse.. Woo! No Exercise!

what makes you think it'll cost that much? I know, I know "OMG t3h 13lu3 r4y!!", but still....I mean, think about it people...by making such an expensive system, Sony would be cutting down on millions of potential customers...now, I don't think a company as big as sony would be stupid enough to make such a hopeless move. Now, i'm not saying it's a statistical impossibility that the ps3 will cost that much, i'm just saying the idea is a bit farfetched. But that's just me.

Sony has done a good move by launching PS3 in November... taking advantage of the holiday season, more time meaning a cheaper console than if it were to launch in Spring/Summer, Sony has E3 to continue the hype...
Now, it is Nintendo's initiative to stay in the game.

With the notable exception of the PSP's screen (handled by Sharp), Sony handles the production of most of the components of the PSP, either through its own manufacturers or other subsidiaries.
I'm fairly sure I've heard Kutaragi or another Sony official mention it, I'll look for an article for you.

Expansive worlds! Go anywhere you like.
Meet new people, meet friends on(line/the road) to play together!
More powerful than any video game system before it!
Highly sensetive and refined controls.
Customize it!
Co-operate or compete with friends! Multiple consoles/cars makes for more fun!
You will want to work more hours for this!

I imagine I will end up owning a ps3, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but some day. Maybe when like FF 13 or Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out, who knows maybe my parents will be overly generous this Christmas.
But I agree, with the 360 out in America and coming out this month in Australia and Sony having confirmed a date for the ps3 it's time for Nintendo to play their cards.

I think naturally there will be competition between the PS3 and the Rev, how could there not?

Here's the link to the article stating the Rev's release date. I don't know if it works or not because Gamespot has just been blocked from our school's computers, but meh: www.gamespot.com/news/6142572.html

Nintendo's President right now is wishing it can dominate the gaming sector, everyone is... That attitude Nintendo is using is only a scapegoat...
Anyway, I'd just leave with this definition... A business: "An organization operated with the objective of making a profit from the sale of goods or services."

I agree. As much as they wanted to stay away from competition, it would just be inevitable...i mean, they're all part of the same industry...there HAS to be competition

Yes, Nintendo is still in the gaming market, but at the same time, it is true that they're moving away from the competition. Imagine it this way...right now, there are three gold miners who all want the same plot of land. This is after Gold Miner Sr. Ega was already ran out of supplies, and had to leave the land. Now we have Mr. Soft, Son Ei, and Nun Tendo. While Mr. Soft and Son Ei continue to try and find or battle over this land, entitled "13to30ville" Nun Tendo is off looking to see if there's any more land with Gold in it. In the Portable dimension, Nun Tendo has already found another piece of land, with less gold, but less competition, entitled "Overthehill mountain" and has begun to tap into a whole new market of gold there. Nun Tendo wants to do the same in the Console Dimension, and in doing so, may end up not being able to get back into the land plot of "13to30ville" after this, but might find another land like "Overthehill mountain" and profit even more there. Nun Tendo is certainly willing to take her chances.
So, basically, Nintendo's taking a risk that the other companies won't, and it could be profitable, or it could be deadly, but they think it'll work since it did when they tested the waters with the DS in the market they dominate, handhelds. I think if the DS failed, the Revo controller would look very different. Still, that's more to awnser Eothian.
Eugine on the other hand...er, yeah. Honestly? You sound like a twelve year old Sonyfanboy internet newbie. C'mon, don't say stupid derogatory stuff like that, especially when it's so clearly BS piling out of your mouth. Lets not bring down the spirits of the forum... :\

Lets see, Nintendo is a gaming corpation, they make gaming consoles.
Sony makes: phones, games, Tvs, cameras, stereos, etc etc etc
Microsoft is the leading computer company in the world.
If the Ps3 or the 360 fail, big deal Sony and MS will still be rich, if the Rev fails Nintendo just lost alot of money.
I have owned every console from Nintedo but the Gb pocket and the GC. From my opinion, Nintendo's going to need to pull something fantastic out of their asses.

When the PS3 launches, don't you see all the feature Sony promises? If they really come through wow, that'll be heaven on earth ^^...
#31
Posted 17 March 2006 - 08:58 PM
Anyway.
Eugine I think your "S0NY5 4WES0M3 EXCLUS1V3 F3ATURE5!!!" arguement is a load of bullspit. Really, what features can Sony offer that I can't just get off the Internet? Or, maybe I can plug my PSP into my PS3, and get exclusive gaming content HMM? Have you ever heard of gimmicks? People really hate gimmicks. Makes them want to not buy the console in question.

And Eugine, do you even know what the profits are on the PS2/GCN? I'd imagine that the PS2 is in a mad rush to make up for all the money lost in the first half of it's life, but the GCN is chuggin along at a pretty standard pace, still profiting, still going. The thing is, Nintendo is more serious about expanding the market next generation with the Revo, so that's why they'll consider it a failure if it doesn't sell more than GCN, because then they'll have failed their objective.
And Watch, if you've seen what the DS has done to the portable market, I think you'd agree that the Revo will do something big to the console market.

Uhh, havent you read any articles on the Rev? It will most likely be able to hook up to the internet, download classic nintendo games like SSB, or Diddy Kong Racing, the DS will hook up to it like the Advance and the GC, it will use both GC controllers AND Revolution "Magic Wands,"It will play ALL nitendo games made for a consol system, and most importantly of all, bring a whole new dimension of gaming to the industry with it's motion sensitive "Magic Wand." Some details on the "Magic Wand" are: It can sense movement in ANY direction, it can sense pitch and roll, it is WIRELESS (like the wavebird wireless controller), it has 4 different wireless channels. And the Rev will come in Green, Black, Red, White, and Blue, and probably other colors once it comes out. The Xbox can only change faceplates, and as far as I know, the PS3 will only come in one color.

I'm sorry but the touch screen on the DS hasn't proved useful to me in anyway, hell it renderd my DS USELESS for the better part of 12 months.

The downloading things bit is old news. I can download NES, SNES GB, GBC, 64, GBA, GC games onto either my PSP or a Xbox. The GBA to the GC and the DS to the Rev, lets see how well did the GBA do as a controller? As for the colours, go to Japan, PS2 in black,sliver,green,red,blue,gold,white hell it's like buying a cover for a phone any colour/design you want, but for some reason they don't ship em to the states or anywere else.

But seriously though. You're better off just buying the console that plays the game. Especially because I find it hard to find ROMs that actually work. Keep in mind watch, that most people prefer playing games on the actual console. It's just you.

I don't download illegal stuff when I can, I try to pay for everything. Sometimes I can't, like with Starfox 2, but usually I can, and I do( unlike you).

Incorrect. It's colours for the Britishly influenced part of the world, Colors for the rest. So, in Tokyo, they say "colors" and in a good chunk of the east coast of Asia, they do the same. Australia though says "colours" to my knowledge. Yada ya, you get the point.

Riiight. Well, like I said I probably won't buy a PS3 at launch. It depends on what games they have and what HD DVDs are available to everyone. I
However, I'd buy the Rev at launch even if there weren't any good Rev games. Why? Because, I could finally play Wind Waker and other Gamecube games I've wanted to play so long, as well as other Nintendo console games that came with the N64 and below. :P; I could play PS2 games on the PS3, but I'd rather go with the cheaper system. (Nintendo Rev)

So far I don't have much plans to get an Xbox 360. All the bigger franchises of the Xbox (Fable + Halo) usually end up on the PC eventually, anyway.

As I already said, the Rev will surely have more sales than the GameCube, but it probably won't be number one. But the Revolution will be the perfect console for me any day.

- The NES introduced the modern concept of gaming and the design for the controller that continues to this day. The SNES added the shoulder buttons, among other changes. The N64 had both the Rumble and the Analog stick introduced, as well as being the first 64 bit console. The GameCube? What innovation did it introduce at its launch? Not much. True, there was the analog sensitivity for the shoulder buttons, but not much more than that. In short, Nintendo's console was the first to not truly provide new game experiences.
- Just look at the Revolution. It's sleek, it's appealing, and definitely far more maintstream than the GameCube's design (though I personally liked it).
- One good argument I've heard for Revolution is that, if Nintendo succeeds in defining it as a separate entity, then gamers may buy it as a second console; the idea is that the PS3 and the Xbox 360 offer very similar game experiences, so gamers will buy one (not both), and will then turn to Revolution for its own distinct gaming style.
- 20 years of gaming; all Nintendo consoles in one system. Very appealing (though PS3 will presumably have a similar mechanism)
- Controller. The possibilities.
Among others.
