The Revolution is Coming Mid-2006?

Posted by Zonk on from the mario-for-the-people dept.

GameIndustry.biz is reporting that the Nintendo Revolution is slated to arrive in Mid-2006. The information comes from a key supplier. From the article: "This is the first solid evidence that the Revolution platform is still on track for a mid-2006 launch. The console is expected to debut at a pre-E3 conference next Tuesday, but it's still not known just how much will be on display - with sources close to Nintendo suggesting that only a pre-recorded video of "next-gen footage" may be shown."

    "Anyone who would say that any of the 3 upcomming hardware systems is "weak" is obviously an idiot ..."

    Sorry if it hurts your feelings, but the three core in-order cpu in the 360 is going to be weak, it probably will be weaker than what Apple/IBM is shipping by this November/Decemeber and at best on par with.

    The PS3 hardware is simply going to destroy the 360 in both computational power and bandwidth. We haven't gotten concrete enough details on the Revolution to know for sure but it appears like it will hold its own against the PS3.

    The console market isn't the Special Olympics where 'everyone's a winner!' there are winners and losers. MS gambled and lost with rushing to market with such weak hardware. Crying about it won't change reality.
