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.

1. Just because you don't like the GC doesn't mean it made a horrible reputation. There are tons of quality games for it, no one seems to care though which is really strange.
2. I don't understand what you mean by it not fitting into cabinets. It's a flat system, flatter than the other two.
3. Xbox and Sony release garbage games just as much as you seem to think Nintendo does. As for exclusive contracts, what do you think Resident Evil 1 remake, zero and 4 was? Or Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes? Shall I go on?

I have no problem with you having your own opinion, but if your claims are going to be unfounded. If I was going to knock Nintendo I'd attack the rehashing of old games (which the revolution seems to have been built for) or the continual use of connectivity (how many people actually use they're GBAs with the GC these days?), or maybe even something more relevant.

Nintendo's hardly blown anyhting in my mind. You might hate Mario spinoff games but they aren't bad. And at E3 this year, once everyone realised that the 'next gen' console were all show and no substance, everyone was wetting themselves on the new Zelda.

I own all 3 of the current gen systems and I'm sick of racing and fighting games whose only allure are cars that might look good and scantly clad girls. You can only put those facades over crappy games for so long.

judging by how good the games turn out, how much 1 game will cost, how much the console will cost, and overall how entertaining it is would be the best way to go about picking which console is right for you. Im gonna buy a Nintendo Revolution regardless though. Hopefully this time round, games will be affordable for all of the consoles.

Well the gaming companies are pushing the envelope this time.
It'll be interesting to see how much they think they can get from us for a game.

Odd...thats mostly my wish list.

On topic though. I wont buy any of the new consoles right away, I do have the most faith in Sony but it depends on what the situation is one year or so after the launch. (also a good thing for me is that, living in Europe, it'll probably be a while before the consoles are here anyway)

TOO TRUE!! ;D

as for my console choices.... hmmm.... wait a while, first for the prices to drop, second so that the reviews and opinions come out... (i'm not one of those die-hards who needs the first console out :-X)... but probably, i'll stick to PS3, very curious as to what Revolution will bring though....

"It's a Game-off!"

GO THE PS3 but i really the PSP.

OH yea. NINTENDO SUXORS!

nintendo has always been childish
the games will be too
[/quote]Two fine example of fanboys.

I'm getting the revolution, why? because not only of the very high 3rd party support with this console, not only the revolutionary control, but also the price, the revolution is going to be the cheapest of the three, and to be honest, I'm not willing to pay loads of money for a PS3 or X-box 360, and besides, I like zelda games.
