Well, if you have looking at the next gen consoles, Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendos Revolution, you might be interested. The Revolution has a new name... I'm not going to ruin it for anyone, just go to this site http://revolution.nintendo.com/ It's official, and I'm lmao/crying...

Nintendo is so screwed...
I just wish that they would hurry up and go bankrupt and stop embarrasing me for ever liking them.

Ya know... as if 64 wasn't bad enough... They should just stick with what Sony did, PS2, PS3 & so on... sure we'd be on like what, Nintendo 5 by now, but that still works!

It's still going to rock the 360 and PS3.
PS3 is just about more power, and as people like Carmack and Newell have said enough times that it offers nothing to them in the way of ease of making a product, or introducing new idea's. It's basicly all about the pretty. If it looks good, people will buy it, and it's been proven time and time again, that it just doesn't work like that. The reason the PS1 worked was that it had a lot of games, and they where original to begin with, this is also the reason the N64 did well. PS2 just fed of the PS1's fame, it's introduced nothing new, just better graphics, even Sony admit it themselves. The Gamecube however, baught new idea's to the scene with more functionality, and it kept it's 4 player ability, meaning it's an evolved version of the N64, not JUST an upgrade.
That's where the market's going to head. We've almost reached a limit to graphics on the pc, and soon enough, consoles will follow that, but what about after that? You need to be thinking of new ways to keep your fans interested, and more power and better graphics aren't going to keep them interested. Perfect example would be the Xbox 360. Whilst everyone said it would be better than the PS3 and Rev (now Wii) because it's the most powerfull (PS3 simply has more processing power, which doesn't mean everything). But, in actual fact, the 360 has flopped, and quite a bit too. It has sold no where near the estimated numbers, and it offers nothing new to the customer, just an upgrade.
This is where I think the Rev/Wii will start to pull ahead. It's not just about power, but inventing new ways to keep your customers interested. Gyro controlers are just the beginning, and I wouldn't be surprised if Sony and Microsoft start following Nintendo after this generation gets fully released.
It's all well having power and speed, but if you've got no tricks up your sleeve, it'll just get boring after a while.

Can anyone imagine saying I'm going to play with my Wii now? Yes, my mind has gone into the horrid depths of the gutters.

Well I believe Jack, but yesterday they said on the radio that Microsoft had a profit of about 3.000.000.000 wich was mainly because of there new game console.
Now i also thought that 360 didnt sale as good as people wanted, so i dont get it at all:)

the new nintendo must be intended for whining kids below 4 years.
[kids shout] "Wiiiiiiiiii !! I got a band new nintendo."
[5 minutes later]
[kids shout] "Wheeeeeeeee Wheeeeeeeee, It sucks."
[nintendo thinks] "wel the bought the crap, were not making profit but it covers the research and production costs."

You're forgetting one very important thing Jack... most gamers are complete idiots who are mezmorized by shiny objects. Especially most console gamers.
Of all the people I know here in Philly, from the ghettos to society hill, three of them aren't impressed by shiny graphics of games. That leaves dozens, possibly hundreds of people that I've talked to about video games at work or school or whatever in the greater Philadelphia area that only care about one thing (my own brother is included in this batch of genetic misfits) - how pretty the thingies on the screen look.
