Nintendo has ALWAYS been an awesome software company. Great games. However, I think they will soon be out of the console wars. Really depends on the Revolutions power and pricing. Here is something also disturbing:
Online arguments commenced when Nintendo of America's Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Perrin Kaplan, announced there would be no HD support for their upcoming system. Kaplan stated beautiful graphics and innovative gameplay could be achieved without HD and that abstaining from the technology would help keep the cost of games down.
Although graphics are not everything, this is not a good direction and I think this will end up hurting them in the long run. They also have 512MB of flash memory that is used for patches, save game, demos, etc (so I assume there is no HDD) and if this is the trend, I'm guessing most of the components will be sub par. Yes, inovation is nice but they are not keeping up with the "jonses". Now, I know you'll argue its the game play. I agree with that and I know some others will, too. Problem is there are to many morons who are enticed by eye candy. This will be a failure I'm afraid to say. In a way that can be good, though, as I think they are an amazing software company.
