Revolution offers more than X360 and PS3???

i think ofrome is right when you guys argue about which next gen system is the best, you are all entitled to your own opinions, but you don't have to act like two year olds about it. Also the only system you can really judge as of now is the 360 because thats the only one that you have probably tested or played. and i dont think the revolution will be that grat i am leaning towards the ps3 but idk yet

 

I have to admit however that the revolution controller is cool and nintendo made a good decision about doing that.

 

I may not agree with OOfrome alot since he favors Nintendo while I favor Sony but iv never said anything bad about him and thats how everyone should act.

Ps3 dominates all beeyatches. But at least the Rev has something new like its controllers while 360 has nothing new so I say 360 is the worst out of the 3.

 

kahn stfu u stupid fanboy. NINTENDO FOREVER!!!!!

 

personally i think the nintendo is doomed this time around anyone heard of that eyetoy like micrsoft is working on,LMAO i always liked the EYETOY way better then that so called revolution pad ,ps3 and xbox 360 will have far better graphics and it will support HD,and like that wasnt enough actually sony is working on another EYETOY and same with microsoft so when you see the possibilities of the EYETOY and the limited pad revolution,PS3 or xbox 360 will be the way to go,dont wanna sound like a nintendo hater but ,its true nintendo is going down just like sega and atari.

reason...
sega only made games
atari only made games
nintendo only makes games
microsoft makes games and software
sony makes games,electronics,music,movies,software ect.hell sony even makes Blu-ray and processor cell with thoshiba and ibm.

and the thing about nintendo is it keeps realising the same shi%% when i was five i liked playing mario and zelda ,but now im 19 and dont want that anymore its boring wheres the new stuff ?????

unlike nintendo sony and microsucks actually buy third parties and they create NEWWWW HOTTT games like killzone,god of war ,ICO,shadow of the colossus,fable,forza,halo ect.
how about nintendo geist,fire emblem , what are you doing nintendo you got competition here, get in the game or you will die.

its all about the games.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. While MS might look way healthier than Nintendo overall, and while the XBOX outsold the GC by a considerable margin, the Gamecube generated profit for Nintendo. The XBOX only gave MS loss.

So, selling game hardware and Software Nintendo has been more succesful than MS. Also, Nintendo is far from dead, as the DS is currently outselling the PSP and if as you suggest the Revolution is a failure, then Nintendo still has the handheld market, they have owned it since the original Gameboy was released.

The Rev has a card under it's sleeve, and that's it's price. Being priced lower than the cometition it qualifies as a great second system, so many 360 and PS3 owners will buy it, if Nintendo can manage to get just the right games to lure non-Nintendo-Fans(like were Resident Evil: Rebirth and 4 for the GC).

Razengan is correct except for the Xbox outselling the GC by a "significant margin".
The difference is almost minute in contrast to PS2's dominating margin over both consoles.
Microsoft shipped 25million by the end of 2005, and Nintendo Sold 20.61 by that time.
Playstation 2, on the otherhand, has sold a little more than 100mil.

Indeed, Nintendo's lack of third party support has played a major role in the past console war.
However, this used to be one of the best assets to Nintendo's initial success with the NES and SNES. What used to be a great selling point is now a great big fault, and I do find that quite ironic.

 

4million+ consoles seems large to me, but I guess it's ok to differ once in a while.

 

I suppose it is, but it seems a lot less important than a 70+ million gap for the top.
apparently over the holidays the gamecube sold better than the xbox and the 360. Seems like a weird trend. I definately wouldn't buy a gamecube with the launch of the revolution in sight. Especially since the Rev is backwards compatible with GC anways. just plain odd.

 

It wouldn't be smart to buy a GC these days, but aparently Nintendo is hoping to sell enought GC's to surpass the XBOX total sales in this last year. Maybe they can, since XBOX production just halted, but they should release Zelda: Twilight Princess soon if they really want to mantain sales.

 

agreed

 

Well the fact that Game Cube is only $100 is a good enough reason for ppl the continue buyin it. Almost bought one last week, used tho for 50, cuz i wanted to play the new zelda. But it is true that The Rev is comin soon so its useless to buy one, which is why i didnt.

 

The way I see it, it doesn't really matter whose console is superior as far as Nintendo is concerned. Nintendo lost the current-gen war because they tried to compete directly with Sony and Microsoft who both have far more resources to pull into their systems. Since then though, they've being trying to create their own new little niche in the industry. And by making the rev so much cheaper than the other two and the controller being so far off the beaten path, it seems they're going to succeed. Most people don't have enough money to buy both a 360 and a PS3, but with the Revolution so much cheaper a lot of people will buy one of the others plus a Revolution as a second system. Next-gen graphics are great but the 360 and I suspect PS3, don't really offer that new an experience. The Revolution on the other hand is just that, a Revolution, an entirely new way to play video games and in my opinion one with a lot of potential (Zelda swordplay, Metroid energy cannon). So most people will get either a 360 or PS3 to begin with but the new rev controller will attract a lot of people to get it as a second system.

 

i think this time around its a PS3 vs Xbox 360 battle. maybe what nintendo is hoping to achieve is a middle market, ppl that will buy the 360/PS3 and the rev. because i pesonally know that if its cheep enuf, the idea of playing all my old favorite games would make me want to buy it (on top of the xbox 360). in order for it to acheive status it needs to be inexpensive, and very very fun. i think the rev is also more kid based, less expensive so parents can afford it, and the cube was more geered towards kids. nintendo might become the only system for kids. because 360/ps3 games will be 2 expensive for kids, and the systems are wayy too expensive (i know my mom wouldnt have shelled out that much money for a game system, i barely got her to buy me a N64).

 

yea i agree the rev should be cheap and fun to play

 

you are wrong, xbox runs the nes and snes games fine.. the n64 run pretty smooth with a few exceptions.. get your facts straight..
as for you guys hyping the rev..
since its going to be cheaper and have old nintendo games that is going to equal dominance over the console market?
Wrong!
Playing the older games wont be a commodity to most.
I have been playing oldies on my psp and on xbox, nothing new there.
If price was that much of an issue, gamecube would have kept up.
Even If it had graphics that could compete with ms and sonys upcoming that wouldnt mean squat.
X box was better ps2 hardware wise and didn't sell more systems nor did it sell them at a faster rate(very important stat).
Or maybe the fact that psp hasn't come out with games matching ds's games quality and yet it surging as a contendor in the handheld market.
By the way Nintendo's best seller for 2005, wasn't the gamecube or the ds.
It was the gameboy advance.

 

Joeva I have no idea what the point of your post was. No one in the last couple pages have said that Nintendo would "dominate" the next-gen race. Not even close.
So what's you're point on the PSP? That it is selling fine or that it doesn't have any quality games?
How about graphics? You claim that don't matter, So i don't see how you would imply that the revolution will sell so badly.
And neither the GameCube or the Xbox "kept up" with the PS2, despite being more powerful systems.

 

So does my computer. But Computer or Xbox, it is still ILLEGAL and WRONG. That's why the industries ( not just gaming ) are going to crap. Because everyone is taking the easy way out. OOOHHH why should i buy a Ps2 when I can just download the emulator and play it on my computer!! Because you are ripping them off and that means that almost everyone can rip them off, they lose money and the gaming world crashes. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY! JUST BUY THE SYSTEMS! I'm sure that the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and N64 don't cost a fortune anymore SO YOU CAN AFFORD IT unless you are still too poor to even buy that in which case I don't know how you could afford the Xbox or modern day games.

 

the eyetoy is crap. the technology for that has been out for a decade and sony's version wasnt advanced at all, it is shamed by the potential of nintendo's revolution with complete motion sensing and extra peripherals like shotguns and swords.

 

I agree with Wavedash
