Nintendo Revolution and PS3.. I dont care about the PS3 this time round though. I expect it to perform below average. Compared to the Revolution and Xbox 360, although im not getting an Xbox 360.

yes exactly, that's the main reason why I don't want to buy the Revolution, I'm afraid there will be way too much childish games

Nintendo being childish is a pretty lame argument that really got stuck. It hasn't been true anymore for a while. And really, why should all games have guns and gore..?

But thats off topic here ;p

If I even buy another console...PS3. Why is everyone saying it will be over $1,000? That was the PSX!! Not PS3. PSX was not released in the US. Just like the Gamecube Q, Panasonic's Gamecube that could play DVDs.

Revolution is going to be..bad. Reasons why the average gamer will not buy it and it will not succeed:
1) Nintendo made a horrible reputation for itself with the Gamecube. It's glory days ended right after OOT was release on N64. That was the last good game by Nintendo that wasn't a complete remake of another.
2) The shape is obscure, it will not fit in cabinets and stuff, so people with animals and parents will not be able to have one because it will get stepped on.
3) Nintendo doesn't have any good agreements with any companies signed exclusively. All they have is Sega, and we all saw what Sega's doing (Shadow the Hedgehog). Baaad Idea. Sony has Square, THQ, Rockstar, Polyphony, and Eidos. Xbox has Bungie...And Bungie produces stuff that is a LOT better than Sega. Not only that, Xbox has no true "Mascot" characters, so their games will not all be sequels and cheesey spin-offs such as "Mario: Laundry" or something.


Revolution will be for people that are not serious about gaming and just want to buy one so they are loyal to a conglomerate that only wants their money. How do I know they only want your money? See: Pokemon.

Uh... yeah. E3. No one's ever heard of that thing, have they? *I use sarcasm*

Just to clairify, a system may CLAIM to be the best but it's not final till the system is released. I don't think it would be smart of anyone to start making claims, "Oh! PS3 is the bestest ever!", until the thing it released. Things can change. I'd have no problem if people referred to these things in the future tense, you know, cause none of these things are out yet.
