The Next Gen Consoles - The Bigger Picture

Posted by Zonk on Thursday August 4, 2005 @05:18AM from the new-shinies-with-backgrounds dept.

Next Generation Magazine is running a series of articles on the next generation consoles, and what they mean in a larger perspective. The Xbox 360, PS3, and Revolution have a lot riding on them as the start of the next round of console wars gets underway. All three companies have their own goals and histories to consider when it comes to the business of games. From the 360 article: "Someone, somewhere, probably still believes Microsoft got into console games for the kudos of putting out Halo. Good for them. The world needs believers, and every time you say 'Xbox is a Trojan Horse', a fairy dies."

Also, please keep in mind that ALL innovations in controllers have been due in large part to Nintendo. Analoge controls, shoulder buttons, the freakin' directional pad, rumble, and so on.

Don't dismiss the Revolution controller so quickly...

I guess you've forgotten the Nintendo Power Pad.

In the last 30 years Nintendo has posted a quarterly loss exactly ONCE.
