Nintendo Revolution News
The new video game consoles which are being released by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft will determine the direction of video game technology for the next five years. Microsoft jumped on the bandwagon first by releasing the Xbox 360 at the end of 2005. While this may give them an advantage, it doesn't guarantee victory, as Sega did the same thing with the Dreamcast in 1998. Both Sony and Nintendo are releasing their systems this year, and fans are anxiously waiting. The nintendo revolution vs playstation3 vs xbox360 history is already in the making.
The Xbox 360 is a powerful contender, because it has powerful hardware and the company behind it is one of the most powerful in the world. Microsoft has more money and assets than Nintendo and Sony combined, and this makes them a serious threat. Despite this, the PS3 will be just as powerful as the 360, and the Revolution console by Nintendo appears set to revolutionize the world of controllers. Nintendo appears to be the most revolutionary of the three, no pun intended.
Nintendo has been a serious player in the console industry since the 1980s, and continues to make rapid advances. Nintendo has promised that their new console system will depart from the standard CPU and graphics race which has become so prevalent among many video game companies. Instead of combining a sleek looking box with high end technical aspects like Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is looking at revolutionizing gameplay by using a controller which is motion sensitive. To date, Nintendo has refused to talk about the hardware specs, and fans may not get to see them until the system is released.
The execs at Nintendo believe that the quality of a game should be based on the gameplay, not the hardware specifications. At the same time, it is my humble opinion that Nintendo has an uphill battle ahead of them. Though the company has hardcore fans, there video games have still for the most part been targeted toward children, even with the Game Cube. Xbox 360 and PS3 are seen as being consoles for the "cool" and "older" kids. The nintendo revolution vs playstation3 vs xbox360 history will be one to see.
Since most of the people playing video games today are between the ages of 18 to 30, this could be a bad sign for Nintendo. Not advertising their system effectively could lead to them having a fate similar to Sega with the Dreamcast. Being secretive about the Revolution could ultimately be their downfall. It is also important to note that both Sony and Microsoft have deeper pockets.
