I think Nintendo definitely has to look into some sort of online function though - the DS is definitely their first look at it via wi-fi, and even if the system comes out with a ton of great games and features... some gamers might pass it up because it doesn't have online functions. Then again, since we're talking about Nintendo, they won't put in online unless they can figure out a revolutionary way to do it. 
Don't be so sure, I've seen a box for Pokemon Online recently (don't know whether it's real or not tho  )
it was for the DS |

Really, you need to look at this thing called business. It doesn't give a flying fuck what you think, nor do any of these companies. You know what? If Nintendo could exhume your closest relatives corpse and fuck it for a billion dollars, it would, Hell, I would. The fact of the matter is, the numbers in the most advantageous market, North America state that the X-Box2 or Xenon will probably gain a larger foothold than the Nintendo Revolution. Why? It appeals to mainstream gamers. The PS3 is always going to be like all Sony consoles, a poorly made piece of machinery that has good support.
Look, I love Nintendo, but I also love to be reasonable, you people are being idiots when you don't look at market trends and swear by fanboy console partisan warfare.
Amen to that.
Personally Im buying each of the systems as soon as thier released because of 4 reasons
1) Money isnt an issue
2) Im impatiant
3) I like next gen consoles
4) I like having stuff first
I also know how to play my cards right  So I can manage to get all three systems with a couple of games and spend the minium amount from my own pocket. |

Its being called a revolution for a reason. DS was the beggining the video gaming market is stale. Its all more of the same just improved we need something new and the mac daddy of gaming will once again bring it to us. The video gaming revolution nears our time. |

Well. I took like 8 months before I got the gamecube. So if anything i'm not going to buy any of them at the release date.
...unless they really have a big release game, that I can't live without. >.> |

I'm probably going to be like that too...had I not splurged back in '02 I probably wouldn't have passed my old PSX. :\
My best-gen console is my PS2 and that's it. |

I'm not buying the next generation. Fuck that, I want to keep my money. If Nintendo manages to keep their word and not release the Revolution for a LONG while, then, I'll be glad, since Sony and Microsoft obviously aren't happy enough with the software they have now.
Bleh. Whatever. |

As my friend explained to me, it doesn't matter how powerful the system is, it's when they release, Third Parties, and their library of games.
As of now, The Xbox is easily the most physically powerful system and has better capabilites than both the GC and PS2, but does that mean it's the best? No. The PS2 still retains 70$ of market sales, while both Nintendo and Microsoft only pull in about 12% each. How? Sony easily has the most support via 3rd Party companies and developers, while it was released first.
Just a fact of truth that I thought I'd share.
Am I saying that Xenon/Xbox 2 will be the best this time around? Not exactly, but their sales could go up higher, but still Microsoft sucks horribly in the Japanese market, so they're losing a lot of support there.
Mainly the point I'm trying to get out, is the system doesn't always have to be the most advanced to be the best. |

Bullshit.
Remember back when the PS2 came out? How many people tried to import it from Japan and paid hundreds of dollars just to get a hold of it? People that have the means will buy, you can't deny that. |

Im a gamer who loves games...so Im looking forward to all 3 of them. I cant wait for this next batch. I always get so excited 
Ive already seen what the XBox-2 is capable of and it looks great. Ive also seen that game Dark Sektor which should run on a PS3 and it looks brilliant...as for the Revolution little is known other than that its gonna be "revolutionary" and I remember a certain game called Mario 128 that was supposidly going to be revolutionary..where is it? I want to like Nintendo the way I used to in the N64 days but thats just getting harder and harder to do with thier stupid decisions.
Hopefully the DS will bring them back up and then the Revolution will launch them back to the top of the pack. |

I think final launch dates could play a crucial role. The PS2 gained an immense foothold by coming out a year earlier, although I'm not sure how, because it's lineup sucked a lot. |

I'm just hoping Nintendo can make somewhat of a come back from the not-so-good last two systems N64 and currently, the GC.
No offense. |

I'm not sure, but (and I never thought I'd hear myself say this) I'm probably not getting Nintendo's system. The games have seemingly been going gradually downhill since the SNES. Meanwhile, the other systems have been getting better games over time... although, since I never get systems until 6-12 months after their release at least, I'll have plenty of time to look over the games on each. |

PS3. The PS2 was released earlier than its rivals, and I think Sony have learnt a lot since then about making a more approachable, all-encompassing console. I don't think it will be a question of graphics power- they will all have strong graphics and the leap from 4th gen tp 5th gen won't be as big as 3rd to 4th- but more the ability to allow you to customise your game to a greater extent, to allow gamesplaying with more and more people and to have a game that is very large in depth. I think the PS3 will be best suited to this- Xenon will be strong, as will the NR, but I just have a gut feeling the PS3 will be king. |

From what I have heard the PS3 will cost like $400-500 and that is way to expensive. I am just about to get the PS2 (at christmas) and just so I can play FF11 all the other games are a waste of my time. (I would play it on computer, but my brother is moving ;_ I think (oppinion) that the GC did have the best games (SSBM just owned all) and as long as they finally make some 3rd party game companies that like them we could get more games like Tales of Symphonia, and Nintendo would win.
As for the new Xbox I will still say that there are very few true gamers out there that own one. Most of the games come out on computer anyways so even if there is a game I like I could just get it on something that I can trust. |

The price is a big matter in the console war, just ask Microsoft about their x-box. |

You know...some of us have grown up with Nintendo and still have the loyalty against them for the childhood the gave us with SMB3, Zelda and many more awesome games. 
Therefore I hope that they |
