"Revolution specs..?"

You've more then likly sread this somewhere already but...


Two 1.8ghz G5 based cpus
600mhz ATI gpu with 12mb onboard
128mb 1tsram
256mb dram

These specs came from What I hear are good sources, that where on the nail with 360 /PS3 info. If they are near the truth then it doesent sound that bad really (for the guts of it anyway). But one thing, if ATI have made that graphics part for consoles why isnt the 360 using it?

Agreed. I don't care about the specs of any console. That's not what you buy a console for. I'll make my judgement for my next console when i see some of the Rev's games, previews and reviews.

a lot of people do tho, hence the fastest most powerful games console in the world advertising of the N64.

ATI is doing the gfx for the xbox and Rev, but the reason they're different is they developed a new technique that is quite fancy, but they did it for Microsoft first, or some ballz like that, and so aren't allowed to use it for a competitor.

IBM are making the main chips for all of them, so they're all going to be reasonably similar.

So all in all, they're all gonna be pretty much the same, just different bells and whistles so who cares really. Get your Nintendo console for your Nintendo games like usual, and buy one of the others for the rest.

And it lost....


Nintendo will unveil the specs at the same time it unveils the games. I imagine the specs are rather naff but the games still look very next-generation. Hence the reason a spec sheet was not shown.

Mario 64 was one of the biggest selling games of all time, people had to have an N64 to play it....... the console lost, that doesnt mean it did'nt sell.

It's like the Xbox now, it has the superior hardware yet it's 2nd but it's doing well and selling regardless.

yep, and if it was less powerful than the PS2, i'm sure it would'nt of sold at all, specs sell consoles.
