Now, Xbox 2. I've heard that the development kits have NOT even been sent out yet, and it's supposed to launch THIS YEAR according to M$, LMFAO!! That combined with the fact that they lost BILLIONS with the Xbox and they need to make money with this, will ensure it's a crappy low budget console, and that it will be incredibly overpriced, i'm heard numbers around $600 US.
My friends, Nintendo's time to shine is now! Let's celebrate as we are about to enter another golden age of gaming where Nintendo will be number one!

If you know so much, what makes you think Nintendo's gonna come out on top this time round? Voodoo curses?
Post by: AgentSeven on April 01, 2005, 02:53:42 AM
ABSOLOUTE MASTER: What are you talking about? Did you read my post? Nintendo will come out on top because of the reasons I listed, and how can they not? The Revolution's going to be something VERY special, trust me on that, PS3 won't even come out, and Xbox 2 will be a rushed minor Xbox upgrade, it's too easy.

Square aren't supporting the PSP, but they have over 8 games in development for Nintendo DS, what does that tell you?

It appears Average Joes are forfeiting!
IT'S A BOLD STRATEGY COTTON, LET'S SEE IF IT PAYS OFF!
Convince me that the Revolution will be a hit, and not a crazy Japanese idea like the sex motels that Yamauchi owns.

The CELL was displayed in March. That's what was promised. That's what was delivered.
Xbox2 dev kits have been available since last year. They are Apple PowerMacs with a custom NT kernel.
Nintendo is not going to shine due to the alleged falls of the competition. They'd shine because their product would be solid. Even if there were no competition, crap still sinks.
No, I'm not calling Rev crap. But I will say you sound clueless. If this is an April 1st thing, it's still lame.

I'm sorry, I'm rambling. I've had a bit to drink tonight.
And no, this isn't my return to Planet GameCube. I just thought I'd pop in to see what's going on today and as per usual... not much worth coming back to.
Post by: BigJim on April 01, 2005, 03:55:04 AM
Secondly, we know even less about the Rev than we do PS3. So what if they missed a showcase promise? The only difference is they made an announcement to show it and Nintendo didn't. We'll see them all at E3 just the same. Big deal.

Which is why i'm not so sure about the Nintendo Revolution, and even the DS at this point. How are Nintendo making money if playing online on the DS is free?
Infact, i'd be really happy when i open up my christmas present and find a NES, at least we'd know Nintendo is bound to make a buck
Post by: AgentSeven on April 01, 2005, 04:05:10 AM
This clearly says the PS3 will be unveiled before the end of Sony's fiscal year, which is March. They showed this at the E3 2004 press conference. What happened?
Oh, I see you edited your post, found out you were wrong huh? Honest mistake, don't doubt me in the future.

It's been ages, and we all we're formal IGN board members
Hey Agentseven, you are familair. Weren't you too also from IGN? Back in the "hey day"? heh I seem to recall a similair name.
Anyway, it does makes sense. Considering that Sony has been delaying showing off the ps3, and the lawsuits going on putting them in a tight spot,
especially with the controller issue which looks to affect ps3, and there's no word if it'll be backwards compaditable. Atleast none I've heard.
Post by: Ages on April 01, 2005, 05:53:11 AM
ehhh hem...now that I've gotten that out of the way, it is extremely unlikely that there wont be a PS3 due to Sony missing a showing date. In fact, they released a press statement saying that they werent going to show it. You have to realize, Sony is the market leader, they feel that they're in control (and for the most part, they're right) and they're not in any hurry to release the PS3. They've been working with Nvidia for a while now on a graphics card. There's no way Sony will abandon the only division of theirs that makes any money.
Secondly, how the heck could Microsoft release the Xbox 2 this year if there are no dev kits out yet? It would be nearly impossible for any games to be available. Microsoft expected to lose tons on the Xbox. They expect to make money on the Xbox 2, so they've built the system to be more budget friendly. Doing this will definetely not cause the system to cost $600. Please, think before you speak, it'll be much appricated.

They clearly stated PS3's unveiling would be at the end of March, well March has already passed and LOL there's no PS3 announcement. My sources confirmed my thoughts about this when my friend from an unnamed developer told me the news that they were not to develop for Sony consoles anymore for some reason.
Now, Xbox 2. I've heard that the development kits have NOT even been sent out yet, and it's supposed to launch THIS YEAR according to M$, LMFAO!! That combined with the fact that they lost BILLIONS with the Xbox and they need to make money with this, will ensure it's a crappy low budget console, and that it will be incredibly overpriced, i'm heard numbers around $600 US.
And for those two reasons alone you have summed up the whole "console war" and who will win. Wow... talk about blind faith, that is pathetic...
I wish I was as narrow minded as you...

I trust Agenseven, I knew him from waaay back. Heh, but we'll see if he's right. But Judging from the looks of thing's sony will be facing some hard times. The game divison is the only thing making them money, but they are severely indebt. And the rise of cost of developing game, may have developers think twice about PS3 let alone Xenon/Xbox2/360.

What if Nintendo Revolution has gone too far down the wrong path too? Touchscreens anyone?
I know MS NextBox for sure has gone down the wrong path. Look at these pictures of a brand new NextBox game just recently revealed. http://forums.modojo.com/showthread.php?t=124998 The lighting is not impressive and the shimmer effects look like they are being used as a crutch to me.
The real shocker at E3 for me would be if all three consoles were about the same power wise (IBM ownz all) and that all of the controllers on all of the systems featured the same new machanic. A track ball. http://www.whitefusion.com/
