Re: Revolution Details
I think you're all overestimating the market penetration of next generation disc formats. Right now, they haven't even settled on whether it's going to be Blu-Ray or HD-DVD (or some hybrid thereof). Yeah, I hear Sony and Toshiba are working out a compromise, but when do you suppose we'll find out the results of that?
Besides that, people have just gotten done moving from VCR to DVD. Do you really think they're going to jump all over a new format so soon? The only reason to use a next generation disc is to have high definition movies. The problem is HDTV isn't catching on so quickly. I certainly have no interest in getting an HDTV. They're too expensive, and the increased resolution doesn't justify the cost. And it most certainly isn't catching on so quickly in Europe or Japan, either.
And besides that, if Nintendo is behind the times and using a puny medium, then so is Microsoft. They've never struck me as being unwilling to spend the cash to have the latest and greatest technology. If it's good enough for Microsoft, why isn't it good enough for Nintendo?
