You have to take into account the Revolution is a while off, it wouldn't be intelligent to talk of specs and I doubt it's even finalized to the stage where they can get tech demo's running on it, should be more on this later, keeping people guessing isn't a bad thing but overall I'd say this is pretty poor, in all honesty it may be the worst of the three conferences they could have showed something, even the PS3 hardware wasn't finalized and it was using a weaker GPU and Cell but they still showed demos of the game, they could have even done better by comparing to one of the other two consoles.. not looking good but this it NOT the be end and do end of it all we still haven't seen the controller, no demo's and we still haven't seen the Revolution.

« on: May 17, 2005, 08:00:47 AM »“Nintendo occupies a unique position in our industry. We are one of the top two game system manufacturers in the world and one of the top two game publishers in the world. Nintendo remains first and foremost a content company. We exist for the love of the game. We’re about the levels the characters, the interface, the entertainment. We’re about reaching what’s known, and going into the unknown…. Today, you’ll begin to understand how our Revolution is preparing to storm the gates. ... For 16 years Nintendo has OWNED the portable game space. We created it, and we’re not moving out.”
The Big Boys are whipping it out. Reggie is comparing GBA to PS2 numbers—upward of 28 million each They’re talking about the PSP and PlayStation 2 quite some bit. They know they have to, because Sony’s the biggest game in town, and have the systems to beat right now.

Now I know many of you walked in here today with numbers swimming in your heads. .... We’d like to add one more number to the mix, and that number is “2”, as in two billion games. That’s the number of games Nintendo has sold since we entered the business 20 years ago. .... If you’re ready to move beyond pure numbers to a place where your right brain can envision the best in innovation …. you’ve come to the right place.”

The word “or” does not apply to Nintendo. The word “and” is at their core. They want to include everyone. They’re talking up how Nintendo is the place where “the right game goes to play”. Sound like anyone else we know?

“Possess. Conect. Connect.” They’re showing Zelda clips and the crowd roars. They’ll be presenting the “first meaningful information about the Revolution”, along with DS and Zelda details.

Lights dimming. Game geeks cheering. “We remain all about the game. Actions speak louder than words.” Saturo Iwata comes on stage and sez: “My name is Iwata, I’m about making games, and I’m about playing games. Last night I played super smash brothers. That’s my game. I kick some … you know what. So Reggie, I have a question for you. Who’s your daddy?” Wonderful.
Thats all so far
Thats all so far

The reason for the delay is because the event has been overbooked, there are a lot of people in the building and the fire marshall has turned up.

Maybe the HDD is external or attachs to the unit itself somehow I don't see anywhere the unit would have a HDD bay, the size of the unit actually scares me to be honest, makes me wonder how they'll pack in lots of hardware to compete with Sony and MS, on a positive note the power pack might not be in the Revolution itself so that could shrink it.

Uhmm let's take a look, Xbox is 4 gigaflops, Xbox 360 is 115 gigaflops, thats 28 times the flops performance.
PS2 is 6.2 gigaflops while the PS3 is 218 gigaflops, thats about 36 times the performance.
Gamecube is about 3 gigaflops if I can recall, rumored specs would put Revolution at around 150 gigaflops, thats 50 times the performance.

To be honest I love the Revolutionary edge but it doesn't make me want to dump the advanced technology the PS3 brings with it.
When I look at it head on I honestly don't see the Revolution touching the PS3 in terms of advanced technology, it has 1080p support and can support input to two HDTV's at the same time off one console and the graphics look like CGi(I literally mean it), also take into account the advancements they've made with the eyetoy it mimics minority reports, overall a VERY impressive piece of hardware and incredibly advanced piece of technology.
The Xbox 360's initiative was to combat Sony directly in terms of advanced technolgoy and powerful hardware and they fall short of nearly half the performance the PS3 can pull off, if Xbox 360 carries on the "buy our console because it's powerful" nonsense they'll obviously hurt themselves, Revolution know they'll have trouble competing with the PS3 in terms of power so they say "hey look we're doing things differently, come buy our console", now different opens up an entire gateway of possiblities, different can be good or bad, being totally different is NOT good though, Gamecube is an example of going against the grain, they went so different they alienated support for themselves.
Revolution on the other hand sounds like absolute genius, a mix of rumors, speculation and fact are about to go into the next chapter so don't quote or flame me:
First this console is purported to possess a certain amount of power, not enough to topple the leader the PS3 but enough to give them a run and probably topple the Xbox 360, as much as Nintendo hate to admit it this is important, Nintendo seem to have the graphics side of things taken care and it looks like theyr willing to change.
Second this console is supposed to be small and sleek, the PS3 is supposed to be relatively... well tiny while the XBox 360 is of a similar size to the original Xbox, small works and by making their console small Nintendo are in a good position, sleek also works, Gamecube was sort of gimmicky and purported as a toy, ensuring the Revolution doesn't look gimmicky is an important issue for Nintendo and from what they tell us it is something they've taken care of.
Third is online, online is becoming more important and MS lead in this field but Nintendo are supposed to be offering the same serives live offers for free.. can you say jackpot?!?!
Fourth is software support, now going off what we've heard from president of S-E and several other dev's theyr interested in the Revolution and for good reason too, the Revolution could give them new territory to explore and which Dev doesn't enjoy that kind of challenge, aside from that good third party support of ports is also looking a lot more likely than it was on the Gamecube.
Fifth is peripheral support, Hard drives are becoming important to games, how about Revolution take the plunge and put a HDD bay in, this one might not happen but theyr planning on downloadable content so it's back on the tables, well have to wait and see.
If Revolution does all of the above which it has either been rumored to, speculated to or confirmed to have done then the Revolution hits the jackpot... now this is where it gets interesting.
So revolution offers what the other consoles offer and even takes the other consoles in a few of the fields, now what Revolution needs is something to seperate itself from the crowd... something.. I don't know maybe "Revolutionary", bingo again, if Nintendo can honestly pull off something different that isn't seen as a gimmick then jackpot.. no doubt about it, rumors have been floating around about a control which is pressure sensitive as in the harder you squeeze it the faster you go if your in a racing game and there have been rumors about a controller getting hot in gameplay, I don't know what Revolution will offer but it has to be something interesting, if it is then seriously Revolution should see itself in second spot, I think Sony will own this generation yet again but whoever second spot goes to is questionable, if Revolution can pull off what we're all hoping it will then Revolution takes spot number 2.

Sources like Forbes and the Times are unreliable when it comes to gaming information as they don't take it seriously it's more of a back page rumor mill for them, the Revolution will almsot certainly support High Definition formats.

I don't think he was saying specs don't matter to the degree that there not going to bother with powerful hardware period, I'm quite impressed off the rumors, they suggest the Revolution will ship with 4 2.5GHz PPC 970's, a PPU and dual ATi Radeon 520's, while this is unlikely because we are told the Revolution is the size of three DVD's stacked and it would definetly need more space than that to dissipate the heat it isn't difficult to imagine the Revolution overpowering the Xbox 360, with the above setup the Revolution would easily overpower the Xbox 360 but because of its 9 month later launch the above tech would cost around the same as the tech going into the Xbox 360 now does, in all honesty I expect to see Revolution in second position hardware wise after Sony.. PS3.. well you know something when the XBox 360 movies were showing a lot of people went WOW, when the PS3 movies were showing a lot of people said it wasn't real it was CGi.. thats the best compliment you can get, heads and heels above WOW.
