This isn't surprising and not just because the Rev is so unknown right now. This is the company that sabotaged the sales of their own game by announcing a PS2 port weeks from release. Capcom's shareholders obviously aren't too hot on Nintendo right now to do something like that. I imagine Mikami's still cool with Nintendo but considering how financially Capcom's Cube support didn't really pay-off the company is probably not too enthused about the Rev. Or at least I would understand it if they weren't.
The fact that it's coming to Xbox 360 suggests however a potential multiplatform release across all consoles. Logically Xbox makes no sense. But then Japanese Xbox support NEVER makes sense but that didn't stop a whole bunch of Japanese third party games from appearing on the PS2 and Xbox but not the Cube.
We also have to wonder if the Rev is capable of a decent PS3 RE5 port. Rumour has it Factor 5 left because Nintendo isn't focusing enough on technology with the Rev. RE4 obviously was graphically very intense so even if Capcom still likes Nintendo the Rev might not suit the game's needs.

Alright, I work at GameStop and every GameStop has a Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft representatives that come to the store update all the signs, demos, and answer any questions. Well the Microsoft rep came over the other day to do his job and let out some information about Xbox2 and PS3.
Xbox2
-Pushing for an early release date.
-Will be sold in three different models, Bare Bones model with no harddrive or DVD playback, middle model with DVD playback and harddrive. Both of those will be backwards compatible. The highest model is the XboxPC hybrid that people were talking about, he said that it would be made for digh definition and that you could go online with it, this is not backwards compatible.
PS3
-Apparently the government is involved with funding for the Cell Processor and so that the government and sony are having some disputes and he expects Ps3 to be delayed to summer of 2006 instead of early 2006.
He also said that the reason that we arent see very many DS games is because Nintendo is hard at work with games for the next generation Game Boy. The only thing he said about Revoltion is how it will have a touch pad controller.
I don't really know what to believe, the Xbox2 sounds solid but eveything else sounds sketchy.

Why does everyone (Ian / the media except PGC) like to completely ignore the FACT that Nintendo signed a contract with a company that makes gyroscopes for controllers. How much money Nintendo gave in the contract was undisclosed....hmmm...why? I'll tell you. Nintendo is giving them a large amount of money for them to make a custom gyration unit to be implemented into the controller, kinda like ATI and IBM are making customs chips to be used in the Rev console.
It makes sense, touch-screen does not....

You know, sales of Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green downright PROVED Pokemon still sells. They were friggin remakes, and they sold through the roof.
If they were mere remakes, and PKMN D&P are entirely new games that are said to change the series, I imagine they will garner Godly sales.
Also, Sony is losing a heap of money with this PSP stuff. And they've chosen possibly the worst release date for it. If PSP doesn't garner enough sales, Sony might actually be forced to discontinue, because of all the money they are losing.
I think Nintendo could win this battle, but not outright dominate it like other battles, which isn't necesarilly a bad thing.
And I think Nintendo could quite possibly be the leader next gen as well.
