wow, nintendo hasnt even sent out any dev kits to the developers yet, so im guessing that the revolution will be the last console released...how disappointing..I wanted to hear something more interesting then what they had to say about the games...not to mention there are no confirmed revolution games....good thing im not the most die hard nintento fan, or I would be really disappointed with nintendo right now.

The problem is, from a business perspective, this is a shunt to the North American market...If you don't reveal at E3 when your competitors are...Errrrr...You have to make a home-turf announcement, a joint international announcement (which is expensive and not very profitable for publicity) or wait for TGS or another trade show. Unless Nintendo pulls some hard hits tonight or tomorrow they've made a really bad business move with Revolution.

But from what I've heard the Revolution is MORE than promising. I am also excited about the GBA Micro and the new energy that they just gave over to the DS. The problem still stands that Nintendo, although really pulling out some neato things, isn't pulling hard punches and is pitching only to their hardcore fans. I mean, sure it worked with the DS, but that was more luck than anything. Their competitor came out of the gate in North America seeming ridiculously incompetent and still seems that way. You can't hope to fall on luck a second time...This just isn't a bright business move.

It would have been nice to see Nintendo go against the grain and have another special presentation at the end of E3, although the odds of that happening are pretty slim.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Nintendo is just screwing with people's minds at the moment, which is a nice little tactic if they want to treat their fanboys like lemmings.

As far as a real first look (again, BARRING ANY SPECIAL SURPRISES TOMORROW)... Gut feeling says late August/early September in either Tokyo or New York.

Ziff: Can't really call it good or bad... they might take a page out of the Microsoft book and mess with people's minds big time causing some hardcore fanboys to go coo-coo. (Halo 2, Xbox 360, etc...)

Well, it's the 21st. Any big conspiracies revealed?

I still get the feeling Nintendo's screwing with us.

Apparently everything will be revealed by... the end of the year according to Reuters.

Sadly, I call December 31st.

Meh. I think Nintendo is making a rather large mistake doing this. people will lose interest, before the revolution ever gets into stores. Bad marketing plan if you ask me.

Even I'M starting to believe them, and that isn't right for me. They'd have to pull something off and fast *Goes into corner and sobs*
