Nintendo Revolution

[Arrogantelf]

its obvious. if nintendo releases hardware specs now, they'll get shred to pieces, overanalized and mathematically (which is incorrect in most IT-related issues) compared to the competition. if they release design details - the same thing. people will end up overanalizing everything.

really, i think nintendo does it the best way right now - since they already told us everything that counts. they should just release the box, release some great games with it and really... stats dont matter, games do.

i'm surely waiting, even tho i wont buy it on release this time... i'm quite sure of that...

Wise words indeed on which i agree except that i will be getting the console on release

As for hardware Nintendo know they are behind the other two so yeah keep mum about specs. History is in favour of nintendo. The snes had a cpu running at 3, yes 3 MHZ and no-one complained about Donkey Kong did they. Most people were convinced that it was a next-gen game back then. In comparison the Megadrive ran at 16MHZ. Sony over-estimated the PS2 performance a lot with the best(graphically) games running at approx 7 million polygons per second these days which is fairly impressive nonetheless. On the other hand the gamecube was supposed to push 12 million polygons a second and at launch Star Wars wowed everybody with an actual count of 14 million polygons per second.The battle on endor level alone had over 100 independent spaceships on screen at once before you unleashed mighty destruction on the empire lol.

So really this says yeah Nintendo who cares about specs, we know graphically the Rev will be up to par, also it will not need masses of resources to produce HDTV output a la PS3/X360. Res4/Prime 2 graphics with a bit more polish will suit most people fine in my honest opinion.

I'm bored now,peace.
