Revolution In North America By Thanksgiving

Gamespot reports that the Nintendo Revolution will be in stores by Thanksgiving. From the article: "In an interview featured in today's edition of Japanese newspaper Sankei Shinbun, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata stated, 'We can't disclose the Revolution's release period yet, but we have no plans to miss out on the year-end sales battle. As for North America, we need to release it by Thanksgiving, or otherwise we won't receive support from the retail industry. So the Revolution will be released prior to that period.'" Update: 01/18 19:15 GMT by Z : There's also word that there will be an exclusive Resident Evil title for the console, utilizing the unique control system.

    You've obviously never played Civ. Democracy sucks for wartime, unrest is to high. You switch to communism for long wars and back to democracy afterwards for the production increase. Given the current warmongers in power, its obviously going to be a long war.

    My money is on the marketing division of Sony Computer Entertainment (too bad there isn't a Sony Cybernetics Corporation yet...). Looking at the PSP ads ("It's the carpet you can watch outside!") they deserve it.

    He plans on doing something unrelated first to get a feel for the controller. By unrelated, they probably mean it's not survival/horror. Once he knows what he's doing, he's going to go (with his new knowledge of the control system) into the Capcom zombiefied universe, which is called Resident Evil.

    You're probably a troll, but I'm going to pretend that you've made a serious post. The difference between Zelda and DNF is that Nintendo has a history of pushing back releases, yet they always put out a solid product in the end. Zelda is a far cry from vaporware.
