Nintendo Spokesman Talks Next-Gen and MS
Thanks to GamesIndustry.biz for an article outlining comments made by Nintendo VP of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aime. His comments confirm that Nintendo's next console will release around the same time as the PS3, and bashed MS for rushing to the next console generation. "Our focus is this: we will bring Revolution to the marketplace roughly at the same time as the competition," Fils-Aime told US website IGN. "We are driving our timetables based on what we believe Sony will do."
I'm not sure I'd call the N64 and Gamecube "trumps" persay. You'd think, as well, that with a year's delay they'd come up with more and better launch titles than Pilotwings 64 and Luigi's Mansion. Maybe they're just slow?
I think you're confusing "Not caring" with "sitting back and see what the competition comes out with."
I couldn't care less. I'm not a gamer, and I don't own a PS2 (indeed, I own a gamecube). However, it's inaccurate to say that the GC is more powerful.
A deep unwavering belief is a sure sign you're missing something...
