What next gen console are you looking foward to

[FyberOptic]

Rumor has it that the Revolution might be as  low as $200, where the other two next-gen consoles are expected to be $300+.  If Nintendo can pull that off, they'll win big-time in terms of sales, I bet.

You mean like last time? Price helps, but if the games aren't there then the people may pass.

One example of that is the nintendo ds, and virtual boy. I might get an x box to just because of some exclusives they have I want to play.

[Bluejay]

Also don't forget the complete library of downloadable roms of EVERY Nintendo game from the consoles.  I just can't wait.

Voting ends in... now. And by a landslide Nintendo kicks everyones ass! Thanks for voting, you can still post here I think.

[FyberOptic]

I don't think it'll be every NES game, just ones from Nintendo, and perhaps a few others they might get licensing agreements with.

Also, I stumbled onto this bit of info about something the PS3 may possibly employ.  The gist of it is that you can only play a game on one particular unit, to prevent piracy and all that junk.  Of course this is yet again one of those stupid technologies that would only hurt legitimate customers, since anyone out to pirate anything will just crack it eventually.

I doubt even they would do something that stupid, since almost anyplace that sells video games anymore either sells used games or rents. In fact, if they do it, it might just result in game sellers refusing to stock PS3 consoles and games! Really, they can't win, no matter what..!

[FyberOptic]

Yeah, not to mention I dunno how they'd work out game rentals, so it's probably not likely they'd do it.  But it's kind of sad that they would consider such a thing in the first place. 

But hey, this is the same folks who put rootkits on peoples machines to protect music cd's, so I guess we can't be too surprised!

If that's actually true, you can be sure that Blockbuster's gonna throw out all their sony crap, hopefully replacing it with Gamecube games/Revolution games.

I would not be surprised. Take a look at the psp and how they're forcing everyone to convert to the 2.0 update in order to prevent emulation. All future games will require the 2.0 setting to play. Its how they make their money.

So maybe Nintendo will finally have the #1 consule domaninace it so deserves

I don't think it's too unreasonable to make people stop doing illegal things with their hardware in order to play their games, really.

[Vito]

You all realize you're forgetting about the 360 right? Really if the PS3 fails the 360 will be more likely to take its profits because they're so similar. At least, thtats what I think the course of action a regular person would take, and by regular I mean person taht doesn't play or buy many video games. However, if the Revolution works well I think it could possibly do the best, but thats a big if.

[Buzzard]

Why bigger if, mr Vito?

[Vito]

Because they're a lot of ways that Nintendo could do this controller wrong, and it could really turn off other developers for making games for the system. THings can sound good in theory but just can't be executed well. Like communism.
