Revolution: "It's like a souped up Xbox"

[A Black Falcon]

So there it is. Black and white, factual info. The Revolution will look fine. IGN is taking part in the age old past time of bullshitting to create content that will generate buzz for their new channel and have taken a huge nose dive in my book as far as being a trusted news source.

I'd blame it more on their obsession with the fact that Revolution doesn't have HD output... to people as consumed with graphics as them, that's a horrible, potential-system-killing fact there... but I just don't care much. :)

You're probably right that Revolution will look just about as good as X360 when run on a standard definition TV.

A side from that, the 360 and Rev will be toe to toe I think. The "We are not going to compete" is another way of saying "You cant compete with Revolution". It's a Japanese sales pitch. I think Nintendo knows that Microsoft is the new Sega and sony is venturing in to a realm where it truely is not trying to compete with any company other than its own sales figures from its other divisions. They dominate the market hands down, so Nintendo and Microsoft are left trying to be the 'compliment' piece next to everyone's PS3.

No, Microsoft wants to replace Sony... they just won't. I think Nintendo secretly wishes it was winning, but wants to get there its own way... by doing its own thing and by claiming that handhelds count in the analysis, which puts them nearly equal to Sony...

Please be sensible people. These are unofficial specs IGN has pieced together from developers. As much doom talk IGN does I suspect they've given the lowest specs they have been told just to add to that. Wait for more reliable sources.

You're absolutely right, I don't consider IGN as particularly reliable... I'm not completely believing this. Not that it doesn't make sense, but that IGN isn't exactly always right...
