"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?

It;s wrong? damn, i really am behind the times. Gotta start reading more gaming news again...

Where to begin with how wrong that statement is....

I've been noticing that people are relying on Nintendo's ideas lot more.

1. Xbox failed to begin with, so they took Nintendo's best developer (Rare) in order to survive.
2. Sony knows that the PSP isn't going to be as popular as the DS, so naturally they make it compatible with ported SNES games, as I read somewhere on here, which surprise surprise, was a Nintendo console.
3. See Strafio's post

The way I see it, although I don't believe in buying a console for specs, I buy it for good games, Nintendo are, no questions asked, the best console/games company around. IMO.

Plus, I had a PS2 once, so I'm not slagging it off, I'm just going by personal experience. I played it, and hated it.

Notice how MS ditched the people who made the Xbox parts and signed contracts with the people who made the Gamecube parts? Sounds like someone admits that someone else got the hardware right. :-)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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