As you can see they knew the revolution would be slightly slanted on one side for the cradle. They had seen the revolution months before. Then they made this so called "mockup" of the system. Pay close attention to ign's mockups of various add-ons and peripherals. They just might be the real deal.

I think the most popular belief is that IGN knew, but there are skeptics.

What are you talking about. Perrin kaplan didnt announce that the revo would be dockable. Did he reveal screenshots of the system.......NO Heres what im getting at if you havnt already figured it out.
Revo vs mockup

this honestly has been discussed to death in some other topic somewhere, and those mock ups are by a ign forum member that happens to be really talented in photoshop. I don't think those "concept" arts are hinting at anything, but it does seem logical that some of those concpets would be close to what will actually be produced.
IGN most likely did see the rev ahead of time, which is why the docking station was included on Matts little dvd case mock-up. end of story & really old topic.

So pretty much they stacked three dvd cases and wrapped a piece of paper with the words "Teh Nintedo Revolution" around it.

That and other mockups they've shown are done by a forum user on IGN...makes me wonder why I'm not getting my arse in gear and sending them stuff because I can make models that look that good... Hmm if we get any cool ideas and I have some time apart from school/work I could work on making it 3d

foolish03? More like foolish8000! Perrin Kaplan is a she. You made me laugh though.
Any way if IGN truly knew then why the slant on the wrong side? Eh eh.

Okay everyone knew it would be three dvd cases thick. Nintendo announced that. But nobody but those who saw the revolution knew that it would be have a slant on one side so that it would be able to stand up right. Obviously someone knew exactly how the rev looked in order to make that mockup. If it was done by a forum user then ign gave him specific descriptions on the look of the system from seeing it previously.
And who gives a rats *** if perrin is a male or female, that wasnt my point. You nintendo diehards are uptight stiff necks. Calm down a bit.

QuoteExcept the docking bay is on the wrong side of the console in the IGN mockup. Phail.
The dark slanted area on the left side represents the docking bay.

Seriously, assuming for a second that you looking at the edge of a sheet of paper actually means something...
Why would IGN know enough to include an etched dock, but put the disc slot on the wrong side completely?
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 05, 2005, 12:56:18 PM
Its really not all that hard to understand, I don't see why there is a debate about it.
Why would they have included the slanted part on thier "mock-up" if they didn't know there was going to be a docking station? That is extra work that you wouldn't do on purpose unless it had a purpose.
