I agree with Laertes. I'm just interested to see what Nintendo is gonna come out the gate with. A codename like Revolution must mean something serious, although it seems like they are doomed for the same fate of N64 and GCN, they have proved that they recognize the fundamental mistakes of both of Revolution predecessors. Sony and MS are going to bring in more of the same, a beefed up Xbox and PSII, well SOny is planning on some real power behind PSIII.
MS touted the power of Xbox enough and while it brought them no where close to the SOny in the race, it did boost sales drammatically. I think Sony is just out for the kill. Sony, nor MS is taking Nintendo serious, which gives them a great element of suprise
