Topic: The Old Quote Goldmine

Rather than bump an old thread, i think its better to find hillarious old quotes, some maybe silly...some may be really smart


Silly

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?

smart

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.

Theres also this true 3d "monitor" although impractical still a sign of technology to come. Its the same idea as when nintendo had the 3d fox mcloud at e3.

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.
