It was pointed out to me that I skipped over the Nintendo Revolution. Here is a picture:
While the small form factor is nice I think Nintendo once again missed the boat. Not because it will not be a good system. Nintendo has the unique ability to create fun games that do not follow mainstream ideas. In fact I think a number of people in the office here at Red Hat will get the system. Where I think Nintendo fails is that they do not want to expand beyond their gaming roots. Where Nintendo gives you good games, Sony will give you emersive experiences. If you have ever played God Of War you might understand what I am getting at. That game played like I was in a movie. The Revolution is going to be a secondary system for most people in my opinion. This is especially true since they are the last of the consoles to come out once again.

You have played games like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Metroid Prime haven’t you?
The Wind Waker for example is incredibly immersive, making you feel as if you are in a cartoon. I don’t see a significant difference between this and God of War (which is fantastic, by the way).
There’s also third party stuff like Resident Evil 4 too…

I wonder why it doesn’t look like in this Nintento Revolution Video, which promisesnew experiences too: http://media.cube.ign.com/articles/613/613578/vids_1.html
Looks better and more powerful than the console on the pic you posted.

Thorsten, that video is a mock-up. Atleast that what that page says.

I understand the type of immersion you are referring to however the post about zelda, and some other titles rings very true. these games get you very involved and hello, the revolution controller when used appropriately for games that can benefit from it will literally make you the character. No immersion from Nintendo I suggest you take a closer look at the possibilities. Yes I’m a Nintendo Fan Boy, but a revived one. I have been a sony fan for the entire life cycle of ps2 but with nintendo ds, and now revolution Nintendo has wooed me back.

Every single person who has held the controller agrees that Nintendo has created something extremely promising and incredibly inovative. Some have even gone so far as to call Nintendo’s latest offering a “Revolution”
