Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3
The next-generation Nintendo console, codenamed Revolution, may not be shown at this year's E3. Eurogamer reports that the Japanese console maker is going to keep the console under wraps to keep the features of the new system out of the limelight a little while longer. From the article: "Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata is worried about rivals nicking all his best ideas at this early stage. That's how revolutionary the new console is, apparently... and also the exact same line Nintendo used to avoid showing Mario 128 at a previous E3."
Or they have nothing. Whichever.
The PSP is definitely an overpriced piece of shit, but the DS is a mediocre underperforming gimmick. Both sides did rather poorly in this battle, I think.

You're 13 with a user number 45,000 lower than mine, and I registered in 1999? I'm thinking not...
When's the last time Rare made a game, period?
No one takes their sweet time quite like them.
You'll be able to count the number of Gamecube torrents on your fingers.
Or it could have more to do with the fact that you can count the entire number of worthwhile titles for the GameCube on those same digits.

Well... you can also count the number of good GameCube titles on your fingers...
Fair enough. However, perhaps he should have picked up some writing skills to go with his comprehension skills.
I tell you as a 13 year old I learned more about the economics and marketing tricks of consumer electronics by waiting and waiting for my Super Famicom - uhm I mean SNES (North American release), Just watching all the consoles that never were (err the Play Station was, though Nintendo bailed) showed me how committed to product schedules Nintendo was.
First, that's one hell of a run-on sentence. Secondly, either of the following would have helped first-glance comprehension considerably:
- "I tell you, when I was 13 years old I learned more...."
- "Back when I was a thirteen year old I learned more...."
Hell, even a comma:
"I tell you, as a 13 year old I learned more...."
So yes, my bad for not reading the thing and letting it sink in before replying. Still doesn't mean he should go around writing like that....
perosnaly i have last my faith in nintendo, i mean after looking at the game boy advanced,SP, and the DS has anyone else noticed THAT THEY ARE THE SAME THING IN A DIFFERENT SHAPE?!? well i have, personaly i think the revolution is going to suck...I'll probably play it anyways at my boyfriends house sicne he seems to have faith in nintendo still...i think
Gamecube outsold Xbox in worldwide totals
Uh... source? No, it didn't.
Oh, and more importantly, Nintendo MADE MONEY on the Gamecube.
More importantly for whom? Unless you're a stockholder, what difference does it make to you who's making money on system sales? Xbox game sales are well above Nintendo's -- that's why it's getting third party support and Nintendo, more and more, isn't.
