I'm looking forward to the Revolution more than the other systems. Two reasons:
1. It's something new. Not just the same thing as last gen with prettier graphics.
2. It's Nintendo.
I don't hate the other systems though. There's a difference between having a preference, a favorite and being a fanboy.
You may be misunderstanding me. What I'm suggesting is basically a standardized console, something with the same basic architecture and abilities, so that all games can be played on all systems. The add-ons I'm talking about would be basically bongo drums and special controllers. A well designed standardized system would have a massive storage built right into it (online capabilities are built into every system as standard now, finally, or at least when the Rev and the PS3 come out that'll be the case).
