And as expected, no new details.

May the internet be quiet of Megaton guff once more.

Various things.. "Why wasn't Mario 128 there when you promised it would be? Does it even exist? When will Nintendo show Revolution? Will there be enough 3rd Party support this time as Cube didn't have enough?"

It's very reassuring watching as he actually seems to know what's going on, which is not the feeling I've been getting of late.

but yeah Reggie knows what he's doing. I think it's great that the other two didn't turn up because of him. What sort of questions was he getting?

"One thing we want to make sure that we don't do is have too many games of the same type or genre"

Heh I'm now watching the conference streaming from GameSpot.. it was supposed to be a roundtable but when Sony and MS heard Reggie would be there they didn't turn up :)

Anyways, it's an interesting watch, and when Reggie offered to take questions from the crowd.. pretty brave as some of the questions weren't easy.

And he's saying the opposite of Shigsy.. lots of 3rd Party support for Rev.

In that the Cube was hyped at the time, yes.

If you're just talking about how the Cube worked in the long-term, well that's something different.
