From what I've been reading, looks like they're going to give PS3 some
competition, if not Xbox.

Ah yes, the gaming console industry is finally getting stiff. Laughing

I didnt like the design of Nitendo, especially after seeing that of PS3 & XBOX 360. It looks just plane jade.

But the more important would be the spec sheet. Thats what matters.

Too bad none of these will come to India atleast 1 year after launch Sad

, especially since we currently have only PS2 of the tree consoles for sale

I like the Revolution's design the best out of the three. Simplistic, and it comes in a variety of colours! Very Happy

i don't know... seems like a whole lot of style and not a lot of substance... everything listed seems to focus on the nifty bells and whistles and doesn't really focus on whether revolution will have the graphical muster to go up head-2-head with either ps3 or xbox2

Hey, all you need is great gameplay and the masses will buy. You don't need to have super uber mind blowing graphics to have an awesome game, and you don't need to have a system to play to awesome super uber mind blowing graphics to have an awesome system. Besides, Nintendo Revolution is still in early design and a lot can change based on what they see the people want from the Xbox 360 and PS3, both of which are comming out before Revolution.

Oh, and I think their definition of Backwards Compatibility makes up for not having High definition support.
