Nintendo knows what they're doing. Nintendo isn't resorting to being innovative just because they're not on top anymore; Nintendo has always been advancing the gaming industry. Who built the first 3d platormer? Nintendo. Mario 64 not only proved that platformers could be converted into 3d, but also that they could be better in 3d. Nintendo actually came up with the idea of a handheld game system that you could play multiple games on. Kart racers are Nintendo, etc.
Nintendo is one of the few not trying to advance games in some graphic way or another, and it is working. From its release date in the US, the DS was sold out for month in every single store. I got one on the first day in the morning at a toy r us because everywhere else was sold out, and they only had six. Nintendo actually had to increase the number of DS systems they shipped by 50% and they still didn't have enough for all the people that wanted them. The psp, on the other hand, only sold out in story like EB games and such, and that was all pre-order. In other stores like Wal-mart and toys r us, they were lucky to sell one the entire day. The psp is a great system, but it's expensive, has little battery life, and not nearly as durable as the DS. Really all the psp has that's new to handheld gaming is massive screen and the uber graphics. If you've played ds games that actually use the touch screen well, then you know why it's so good. I have the Kirby DS game, and it's insanly fun. And while you may not think of the heads up display and map and such being moved down to the bottom screen as a big advantage, it is. And the new ideas that the DS games of tomorrow are showing are amazing.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen the x-box 360 and the ps3 and they're amazing (the new sonic game for the ps3 was... wow). But Nintendo knows what they're doing.
If you look at how much negative response the DS got before being released, you'd be amazed that it's as successful as it is. People were making fun of the DS innovations, and saying that the psp would blow it away. Well, it obviously didn't. I'm seeing the same thing for the revolution, so I'm going to hold off until all three systems are released. The x-box 360 and the ps3 are powerhouses, but eventually the pc is going to catch up, and I don't think it will take that long. The revolution offers something unique that is going to re-define simulator, and being from Nintendo, it's going to be the best put together of all the next gens.
I’m not a Nintendo fan-boy, I in fact do most of my gaming on the pc now a days. I’m just sick of graphics being the main point of games. I mean, most of the games that are coming out for next gen systems and today’s systems only have graphical updates on the next gens!
