Yeah its nasty. I like the dual shock, they just changed it to match the system. wack.

Can't wait to see what Nintendo is offering.
Personally, I think this is the perfect time for them to make massive headway on market share.
From these early reports, both the PS3 and 360 are simply graphic upgrades with semi-media center elements that companies have been trying to sell for years.
Does anyone really want to videochat in the living room while checking baseball stats or whatever some suit in Redmond thinks is cool?
Lame.

Im going to cannes with a film about how bad the PS3 system controller is. Check for that in a couple of years...huge conspiracy.

The media center functions are hitting us now. I think they will work this generation, especially with wireless being so affordable now.
Nintendo better come out with something in a 150$ price point or something because their gimmicks are old and not worth it.

(May 16 05, 20:17)did we read the same specs? Both the xbox360 and PS3 are light years ahead of the previous consoles. Even better than todays PC's. These represent an enourmous leap in terms of cpu, as well as graphics. not to mention support for Hidef tv (double monitor on PS3).

Like I said...simple graphics upgrades.
None of the tech demos were especially impressive.

Are you really impressed abou the HD support? You do know the current XBOX has that right?

I got a feeling this is gonna be like the original comps for the PSP. Where it looks alright, if only a little over-ambitious. I pray they fix some of the design flaws, because it's not bad per se right now, but silly mistakes set back the PS3's design.

"how are $300 consoles overtaking $2000 desktops?"
because sony, ms and nintendo don't make any money on consoles - in fact, they actually lose money, but [hopefully] make it back in software sales.

which is where xbox fails
ha ha
halo is like their only game and it's just a sci-fi fps like a hundred others

The old X-box was like a 900mhz celeron I think. The new one is 3 3.5 ghz cpu's sharing 1mb of L2 cache.
Thats more than just a small advance, thats huge.

Nintendo, like Sega before it, is about to die.
R.I.P. Nintendo hardware...
Long live Nintendo software!

Nintendo are the most profitable of all three (in their respective game divisions),
DS is selling almost double of PSP in japan.
Outside of america's fat cat xbox land nintendo are a-okay.

Its not s much about hardware as it is with games. Nintendo needs some better titles or franchises.
GTA and Tekken series alone are reason to get playstation. The Xbox has Halo. What does Nintendo really have? Mario and friends get tired after a while.

Yeah, thats what I was saying, these new consoles are beyond sick, or anything we have right now. Whats the GPU on the PS3 called, somthing like Reality Engine. Insane graphics.

I wont believe they are real-time till i play them.
DS outselliing psp 2 to 1 in JAP? Amazing. Nintendo is profitable im sure because of their conservative business plan. I hope Nintendo can survive this round of the battle, they are the king of my generation (Famicom, Super Famicom). I see them as barely keeping themselves above water and becoming more and more niche. They should concentrate only on software. Save the cash and energy.
