Didn’t you get the memo? Nintendo is struggling to keep consol sales up. Nintendo is loosing fan base to Sony & Microsoft faster than the U.S. military took Saddam out of power. If you think Nintendo having a less expensive system is going to get them more sales then you’re mistaken. The GC was the least expensive system but it suffered in sales. Why is that? Because Nintendo sacrificed technology for a cheap consol. Didn’t Nintendo learn from their mistakes with the GC? Guess not. In fact the “Revolution” is the least powerful with Nintendo’s head honcho confirming that fact.

So really, what does Nintendo have over the other two consoles? Most would say a new controller, but will something so simple pull Nintendo’s console sales out of its hole? I hardly think so. Innovation in game design revolves around advancements in technology, not the way a game is controlled. Simply put, a game is a piece of software & just like any other software the limitations of what it can achieve are bound to the limitations of hardware technology, thus the more powerful the hardware then the more innovation in game design can be achieved.

After all three systems are released people will pick up on Nintendo’s lack of innovation in game design & see the Revolution as a cheap gimmick that’s not exactly up to par with the competition.

Hahaha let it be known!

i guess you can believe that if you want, but nintendo is not dieing. you should know that. nintendo is still making the most money and recently their sales have been going up. there is still much that nintendo has yet to reveal about thier system. you say a new controler desent matter, but what you fail to relize is this is nintendo again changing gameing as we know it. they have come up with triger buttons, handles for controlers, wirless, vibration, the anolog stick, and i beleave the d pad as well. now, they are doing something that will be the biggest change since the anolog stick. the xbox hardly sold more then the gamecube, so i guess you are saying that it had horrible sales to. also, since they actualy lost money on the xbox, i would say that overall it did worse then the gamecube. and, all they are doing for this next gen is boost specs and multimedea. if you do not beleave me about nintendo still haveing alot up their sleave, read this: “here are the facts: Come [this May], we’ll disclose a lot more. After [that], we’ll disclose even more, and right about the time of the launch, we’ll disclose even more. There are certainly elements to everything we’re doing about Revolution I’m talking beyond the controller, the virtual console, all the different element we’ll be sharing all the way up to launch. And I believe as consumers understand the full range of benefits and the full functionality, the more and more they’re going to get excited. I really do." http://gonintendo.com/?p=731 and, actualy, the ps2 had even worse specs then the gamecube. if you dont beleave me, just look at re 4.

but, i know that writing this was pointless becouse you wont even pay attention to it and will probably call me gay or a fucked up bich. whatever. i dont realy care.

im going to go to a super bowl party. see ya.

carlee- for the first time ever I think you wrote quite a good statement on what you think that was void of most biased things. Yet I do not agree with you I congratulate you for you opinion. But overall I believe in the exact opposite and have the whole game developing world to back me up.

actually nintendo has never sacrificed technology for a cheaper price lets take a close look at ur logic, shall we?

nes. better specs and an overall more powerful console than atari, colico vision, intellivision ect.

snes. better specs and more powerful than the sega genesis although both 16 bit systems the snes had an edge over the genesis hence DKC starfox ect.

n64. double the power of the ps1 and what do u get? the n64...

gamecube. cheaper than its competition yet more powerful than the ps2...

carlee u might just be the most biased person in this forum... or mabey the least informed/educated person.

by the way sacrificing technology? actully NO! they are using a different technology than their competition, and u call it sacrifice? oooo we have a bigger cpu... no u dont we have a bigger cpu... stfu noob... no u shut up fag. hmmm sound familiar? yeah its sony and MS arguing while nintendo walks over and clunks both of their heads together.

i think nintendos tech is just a little bit more advanced than the ps3 and xbox mabey not the cpu but the console over all is the biggest technological leap in gaming. prove me wrong

gannon, let me educate u... first, the PS2 is more powerfull than the GC. wut you’re doing is comparing a game that first was made for the GC, then, with the same graphics engine, put on the PS2 with just more features. a lot of RE4’s graphics was pre-rendered, mapped, not actually doing real-time calculations. just a few months ago, game developers JUST started to utilize the PS2’s hardware to the full extent, i.e Shadow of the Colossus. everything in that game is in real time. no pre-rendered anything! AND... that was a first party game.

the N64 had one MAJOR flaw... it was still using cartridges. when the RE titles were converted to the N64 from PS1 or Saturn, ALL the CGs were formatted to half the actual resolution.

the “tech” for the Revo was admitted by nintendo’s CEO to be less advanced then wut the PS3 has planned. the only thing they thought of was of gameplay itself, that’s it!

the real money bringer that nintendo has right now is there pokemon series. since it’s debu to the gaming industry, it has generated nearly 3 billion dollars to date. as much as i love metroid, mario and zelda (which i’m gonna definitly get when twilight princess comes out), if they didn’t have pokemon, nintendo would be dead right now.

Actually, GC is more powerful than PS2. A fact that has been known for a while but some still try to disbelieve. ex: you

actually, my dear friend, the PS2 has a polygon drawing rate of 75 million polygons per second while the GC has around 20 million. both have the same memory bus bandwidth of 3.2GB per second. the Graphics clock frequency on the PS2 is 147.456MHz while the GC is only 81MHz. yes, my friend, this is true. the GC is not more powerfull then the PS2. it’s just nintendo “specializes” in having pre-rendered graphics, which looks really good, as a picture! but when it comes down to it, on the fly calculations is where it’s at.
