I've been thinking about that myself. The day that all of the news media ran their stories about the next gen consoles - she had been interviewed and was quoted as saying as it would use DVD-sized media and offer a new type of HD gaming.
...But then again this wouldn't be the first time that she's quoted as saying one thing and then a few weeks later gets contradicted by Nintendo of Japan. It's happened to Reggie, too.
While I do not currently own an HD compatible set, it would be nice for the Revolution to have that feature available should I upgrade to a new HDTV. Honestly, I believe this will seriously hurt Nintendo’s sales. It's bad enough that the Revolution is being regarded as the weakest of the new next gen consoles, even though no specs have been disclosed to the public. If it can't match Sony & Microsoft of features, Nintendo can't rely on their marketing of the console as being a "revolution in way people play games" to generate sales. If the average consumer asks questions about graphical power and performance I can almost guarantee that the GameStop employee recommends either Xbox360 or PS3 while bashing the Revolution for lacking HD output (and possible other features) and being underpowered. At this point I couldn't care less about the damned controller.
With almost no (confirmed) 3rd party support, literally only a handful of games announced, and the popular consensus being that developers have not yet received developer kits - I can't say that things are looking all that good for the Revolution. I don't care about being able to download classic Nintendo games and play current GCN titles on the Revolution. Sure it's a nice feature - but it's definitely not going to be the system seller for me and I find it hard to believe that others feel much differently about it.
I can't honestly say that my next console purchase will be the Revolution. Since I am a one console type of guy, Nintendo had better impress the hell out of me with their new hardware otherwise I will opt for a PS3 or XBox360. If I do that, Nintendo's chance that I would purchase a Revolution as a "second console" are probably less than 5%. I'm sorry to say it - but I'm tired of being faithful to Nintendo while each generation the selection of 3rd party titles gets smaller and smaller. Yeah - I know most of those games are crap anyways, but I would still like to be able to play those few titles that rise above the BS and will be no where to found on Nintendo's console.
C’mon Nintendo…Impress me with the Revolution, I dare you.
