Rev Specs Revealed

I think something to remember is that Nintendo fans are some of the most devoted in the community. While I am aware that this is going to start a war, I genuinely feel that Nintendo fans are going to stand by the products. Nintendo has a great console concept coming out and I don't think they're going to lose out if the games are not multi-platform.

This is true. The gamecube was crap. Crappity crap crap crap. Crap.

It had a couple of pretty good games, a lot of average ones, and some crappy ones. But man did it lack support.

I fail to comprehend how it's going to start a war... unless Nintendo tunes up the Rev a bit more to compete with Sony and Microsoft in the graphic department they won't be a war for Nintendo.

All nintendo has to do is push the Rev in the market and hope consumers catch on, while Microny are having their own little skirmish.

If anything I believe this gives gamers a great chance to experience both, for once... rather then either PS3, X360, or Rev... you can get a PS3 or Xbox 360.... and then if you wanna try it out, the Rev... considering it'll be significantly lower cost then the other 2.

Nintendo also needs strong support from the developers, because if they don't create awesome games to utilize the controller, theres a strong chance, fans will just remain with thei GCN.

Why stay with just a GCN when the Rev basically has the GCN built in

The spec's dont surprise me. Nintendo isnt trying to be the only one you want in the household, they want you to get the Rev because its cheaper and as a "second tier" console or whatever. Ninty does this for profit and hopes to shake up the industry a little and show people that it needs some change in terms of greater interactivity.

"Some more finalized than others"? Hmm.

All I can say is, once again, Matt Cassamassina is a douche.

The biggest hurdle that Nintendo is going to have to make is that this does not bode well for third party support... at all. The Gamecube lacked support and it could be cross platformed with the Xbox and PS2.

Now third parties will not be able to really cross platform that much and they have to examine if its even worth their while to do so.

I'm sure Nintendo will have some great games for their system, but I fear that their lack of support will actually get worse.

This article is the child of the lack of revolution information. It would be better off unwritten.

If the developers were so talk-happy, why don't we get some information about games? It's not like PS3 or Xbox 360 developers can steal their ideas.

Otherwise, we're all arguing exactly what we did months ago. Look at all the points and tell me they wouldn't fit in a thread during november.

I meant a GameTavern war. I figured I would get people all "riled" up by saying what I said... and look.

Well the specs don't surprise me at all, because Nintendo did say the Rev would be 2 to 3 times more powerful than GC. I still think Rev will have good graphics, however they won't be able to match PS3's or Xbox360's graphics.

This makes me wonder even more about all the aspects of the controller.

Lets play rationalization!
