Perm's horrible posts: all of them
The Rev will not be underpowered. If it has an hardware limitations it will be because of an odd controller or something like that. The specs will deliver. Nintendo's consoles always impress in terms of graphics and performance. People just wrongly assume they don't because they gave realistic specs for the Cube (which in retrospect was pretty dumb) and because they chose to go with a very undetailed simplistic Mario model for nearly all of the Cube Mario games. You could say Nintendo made some poor decisions in showing off their hardware but they really delivered with the hardware itself.I think the Rev could be the best looking console of the three. It will have the Xenon beat just due to it's later release and Sony always chokes on graphics. The PS1 and PS2 looked like CRAP. The Playstation reputation for graphics is based on FMV and sheer ignorance from the public.
revolution will be more powerful then xenon(i say this because nintendo is simply waiting till microsoft finalises their specs and releases them)...ps3...maybe maybe not..it depends on how cell and powerpc processors stack up together. Xenon is supposed to have three 3 ghz cores...if thats so...then revolution will have 2 3ghz cores and 1 3.5ghz core...get what i mean?
I still think eventually we will get a new display method or system. Nintendo has been working at making a cheep virtual reality sine the snes days. Eventually the technollogy will be cheap enough that they can sell them to the general public. Personally I think the censors from the controller would be ideal for such a headset. The only other hurdle are the screens, I cant see why they couldnt simply use lcd. Im fairly sure we arnt gonna see one this generation but I bet the generation after will have it. As for the 3d display its not that far fetched. Already companys are releasing 3d monitors for around 600$, although these monitors are still flawed it is a true 3d image. People always seem to underestimate where technology is at.

Its the same idea as when nintendo had the 3d fox mcloud at e3.<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2003Apr/gee20030428019757.htm">http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2003Apr/gee20030428019757.htm[/url]<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2001july/bch20010703006630.htm">http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2001july/bch20010703006630.htm[/url]Now with all this new push for 3d whos to say nintendo didnt create something no one else ever thought of dooing. Its not a revolution if its already been done.
I really don't think specs matter.......As long as Nintendo is up there, then it really doesn't matter. Each system will bring fantastic graphics, so there's no real point to worry. Maybe some machines can pump out more polygons, or better water-effects; but all in all, it'll come down to the games.Just to geuss though, the order of which console is more powerful will basically be the same as it is today. Although, since the Xbox 2 is shipping early, it utimatically goes from 1st to 3rd. Meaning Rev >= PS3 > Xbox 2. I only made the Rev first because of the same exact reason Ian and KDR_11k described......they don't know what's needed in the consoles hardware, and the PS1 and PS2 are clear indications. Now it might still be powerful, and that's why I put that little "=" sign.Personally, all I want is a cel-shaded adventure not unlike Cowboy Bebop *drools*. If that can be done, then hell, that's all the graphics I need.
