Living in the fantasy failure of Nintendo's world it is easy to be misled.
Lack of games has meant both the Gamecube and the X-box has failed to even dent the monster of the Playstation. Pull out fantastic games all you want, there just isn't enough to please all those billions of games players.
Nintendo promise revolution, Microsoft promise variety... Sony promise to damage the profits of both its rivals even further. One of them is almost certainly correct.
There is always a get out clause for Nintendo, being such a massive games developer themselves they CAN always become a simply 2nd or 3rd party developer. Unless Microsoft can increase the amount of games they have on their system, they have no such get out clause.
Both Microsoft and Nintendo are struggling. Yep Nintendo have a lot of money and so do Microsoft. But neither wish to support a massive loss. We've discussed a combined effort of Microsoft and Nintendo which would increase game out put, fan basses and variety of system capabilties.
It won't happen.
Microsoft will continue to pump money into their dead weight and Nintendo will try and invent another "innovative" idea.
When "revolution" was announced we all looked at the Bongo's, at the DS and at the (shudder) Microphone. Nintendo will add some imagintive new way to play games and hope it'll take off. Nintendo said the DS is a clue to the future of Revolution. What two screens? a microphone built in? Touch screen? What exactly Nintendo, unless all are implemented I cannot see this "revolutionising" gaming... just confusing it.
How about GBA 2? Or GameBoy Evolution. A simple gaming device, plenty of buttons, a nice well made screen, 2 analogue sticks for the ultimate gaming on the go. With revolution graphics.
Certainly that will be possible soon. Handheld gaming just looks better and better and you know it. There is no longer any restrictions.
Especially by 2006.
The revolution of gaming could feature a nice new controller, that in fact could also be a GBE. I don't mean a GBE CAN be used. Rather a GBE has the same buttons as a Revolution Controller.
Is it not time Nintendo really revolutionised gaming with a "GOOD" idea.
Connectivity is the damn future of gaming and you know it. What Nintendo "could" do is endless. 2 versions of the game, one for the GBE and one for the Gamecube. Maybe sold together. Play one, save it to the GBE and continue the GBE version on the go.
Or how about play the game on Revolution and download the game from the disc onto the GBE's format. GBE's games are avalible via download through Revolution.
Maybe I'm going too far here. Downloading the game you are playing to play "on the go" seems daft. Why not simply plug a GBE into the tele and play it straight?
Well Revolution will be this DVD/Music/Internet hybrid. The GBE's late 2006 launch will halt the PSP's advance. And Nintendo will be looking at a system to die for.
Imagine, playing a football game on Revolution. Download the save file on the "memory card" which is specific for the game and is used as the source for the GBE. The game is already on the card but the saved data from the Revolution title can be transferred to it. Then take a bus and continue the game you were playing.
This would sell. It is essentially buy one game and play it wherever you want, on two different systems. Multiplayer avalible via one and single player the other. It would work.
But is the technology ready? Can Nintendo really produce a machine that runs revolution graphics, plays revolution sized games that is easily downloadable onto a memory card? And doesn't eat battery life to death? Well if Nintendo can make a handheld that has 2 processors and 2 screens and still have a good battery life then I don't doubt it for a second. There is no need for a laser, I'm not talking CD's... I don't want some MP3 player hybrid...
And IPODS are lasting longer and longer as batteries become better and better.
Christmas 2006 for the Revolution and the Evolution could be the idea time for a real gaming "revolution". Whether it'll take off or not is a different matter entirely.

Easy. This is a nice debate that has managed to rack up a lot of posts really quickly.
No need to petty squabbles.
That includes you Crumble.

I take it you haven't seen Sony's plan for online games with the PS3?
LIVE is just a starter, I would imagine that figure to double or even trebble for the next generation of consoles.
PC online gaming doesn't sell enormously but LIVE does, it appeals to all those who don't want the so called "hassle" of PC gaming.
The numbers are growing and Dead or Alive Ultimate and Halo 2 aren't even out yet.

As I say, those gaming nuts would spend good money for online gaming.
Nintendo stated they want it to appeal to the masses and so are bideing their time until it is cheap and easy to use.
Yes they do need it in Revolution... at least within a year of launch.

Yup, certainly substantial enough to make money from. And for all those who are considering a console, but don't have broadband yet, they will still consider it as a point "for" the Xbox; a console that supports online gaming widely will seem more "future proof" than one without. And of course, the better specs, but that's veering off course.
