All Three Next-Gen Consoles at e3 2005

Posted by Zonk on from the allez-cuisine dept.

Word is now out that, in all likelyhood, all three next generation consoles will be displayed in some form at this year's e3. Nintendo's Revolution has been rumoured to be making an appearance for a while. Yesterday Sony announced the PS3 would be available in playable form at the convention, and Microsoft was soon to follow regarding the Xbox Next. Game on?

  1. Pity the Dev by Bonker · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have nothing but condolences in my heart for those poor devs and designers who just found out with these announcements that they're going to be pulling double or even triple duty for the next year in order to back up the salesmen's promises.

    Nintendo doesn't rush, they have been working on Revolution for quite some time and indicated it would be at this E3.

    They also mentioned at the last E3 that they do not consider Microsoft competition, and they will beat or meet the PS3 to market.

    They actually took quite a few shots at M$ and Sony last E3. It was nice to see Nintendo taking the gloves off after taking a beating for some many years.

    I will be quite interested to see the what makes the Revolution so revolutionary :)
