and that's exactly my point, Xbox360 nailed a broader audience. they went past the dorks, like myself, and hit every one.

Xbox360 was going to be shown at E3 anyways ... they beat everyone to the punch by tossing it on MTV.

Good looking system...too bad its gonna get shitty games and support as usual.

Release dates will be promised to be a game a month but then they will fail to mention they are designed for the 12 and under crowd and the releases will drop off to one every 6 months that is actually worth playing.

I bought into the GC and was sorely dissappointed by Nintendo and its promises, I will never buy another Nintendo console system as long as I live because of their bs. The only thing I would consider from them is a handheld but I doubt I would even buy one of those anymore since the PSP is out.

What do you mean? Sony originally announced the 16th as being the preview date months ago?

hmmm..I must've missed that. I heard that Sony was waiting till later, since the PS2 was still doing so well.

As for the Revolution...there's already a Mario, Zelda, and Metroid game in the works...that's all I need to know.

Yeap, that few hundred bucks I'll be saving on a game system will come in handy for a wastegate or something. 3 systems would pay for the turbo....

It looks like they're trying to grow up with their original gaming audience with this design. I kinda like it, really. Though I will definitely not be buying it in the first few months it's out. I'll wait until the Metroid, Zelda and Mario games are all out and then I'll pick one up.

I may even pass on the PS3 and Xbox 360 until I see games I really want or features that I can't live without. The Xbox 360 has the edge for me right now. Though I still won't get it for several months after it's released.
