When Nintendo revealed little information about Revolution I knew there would be another event, almost certainly Nintendo based, that would reveal the price, the games and the controller. Obviously Spaceworld is the event to do that.
There hasn't been a spaceworld since the Mario Sunshine/Wind Waker announcement. So the reply from a slew of forum users who will remain nameless declared "There has not been a Spaceworld in years, admit it Nintendo have screwed up". "Don't be so optimistic Dringo" and so forth.
Now both Miyamoto and Kaplin has confirmed that Spaceworld is certainly on the cards and Iwata has declared all the revolution info will be released by the end of the year.
And after hardcore reaction it seems almost essential.
I have to admit, that the new Nintendo console looks the best out of all of the rivals, and that makes a change!

Maybe Revolution games don't come from the store.
Maybe they're beamed into your TV from your internet-controller.

Dringo, this was the biggest videogames event of the year, and Nintendo failed to display anything, right across the board, that interests me more than the Xbox 360. Remember what happened when PS2 got a head start on Xbox, and Xbox got a headstart on Gamecube? Yeah? Well it's happened again. For another five years if you want to go buy a Nintendo game you'll be searching around at the back of the store.
Fin.
Fin.
"By the end of the year" doesn't sound very much like "at the end of the summer"
If they're gonna reveal all at Spaceworld, then wouldn't they say so?
Here's to hoping, anyway.

Havent we heard this trash before?
N64 - Carts that nobody wanted in the end!
Gamecube - No DVD - "we're committed to a purely games console"
Sounds like the lessons still havent been learned.
Maybe when the Nintendo executives are sitting in the gutter wondering why their company went under they'll realise that 'being different' is sometimes the noose around your neck!

Yeah, but unless Dringo has an intricate knowledge of the way that guy/people think and the exact details of what is 'revolutionary', he can't say whether or not Revolution will interest that person.
Will Revolution interest me?
I don't know, because I don't know what it is.
Do you see?

the point is that they didn't even CONSIDER Revolution.
The thought never crossed their mind.

That's great, but Nintendo's problem is that they can't attract new customers. Appealing to existing Nintendo fans and no-one else is only going to get them so far.
