Pretty much confirmed news:

The Revolution will also be a wireless router for the home, connect broadband to it and it will allow nearby consoles to link and go online. Such as a DS for example.

Rumours:

Revolution will be VERY cheap, will be only a little more powerful than a Gamecube and vastly inferior to X-box 360 and PS3. There will be multiple controllers, touch screen, gyro and camera are all being touted.

If the latter is true then I told you Nintendo are gunning for a different market.

I'll have my Nintendo games rather than ones which just look a bit nicer thankyou.

As long as the Revolution isn't so different and revolutionary that it'll hinder rather than improve my gaming experience (something stupid like I have to control Samus through my facial expressions via a camera, sticking my tongue out every time I want to shoot something) I'll be there on release day.

Oh, just a whole new market. No worries then.
Should be easy targetting those people who, despite gaming now being an inescapable part of society, have got nothing to do with it, probably due to not being in the slightest bit interested.

So ... old people and girls?

Good news for me, eh?

Sorry Nintendo.If the rumours of inferior hardware are true then there goes my Nintendo support. I will quite happily embrace the Ultra powerful Microsoft backed machine.

I might buy one a few years down the line just to play the Ninty games.

Less powerful?

All the more reason to get it out quickly.

I guess the games will sell it though.

Interesting move.

Not to the existing gaming market, no.

You'd need to build a totally new market for it.

Different, but not big or easy to sell to.
