Oh no--not another one--I'm sure the hubby will be the same way--waiting desperatly for the new system to come out--although i dont know if he wants this one or the playstation 3--think it's supposed to be out sometime this year too (not sure)  I just dont get paying 400 bucks for something to play games on.   :-\

Nintendo isn't trying to really compete with the Xbox and the PS2/3.  The Revolution is a completely different type of system.  Yes, they are competing in the sense that they are putting a new product out there, but they are just not updating the GameCube to the Revolution.  Just like the Nintendo DS is a separate line from the Nintendo GBA. 

If you want more shooting games, then go with Sony and Microsoft.   Nintendo seems to have more of a varying genre and more innovative games etc....such as the touch screen on the DS and the new Revolution. You can't really compare things such as the Game Cube and the PS2 as they play different types of games.

Two of the biggest features to me for the revolution are 1) I love the new remote technology they're using. From the videos ive seen on it it's like virtual reality meet controller. I'm one of those that uses my hands and body when playing..i'm a wreck in mario kart lol..my kids laugh at me all the time saying "mom just use the controller..yur body turning and leaning aint helping ya" lol so with this new remote/controller system they have it seems to use body motion as well to maneuver which will help me look not so stupid while playing lol and 2) I love the ability to download the older mario games as well as others from the NES,SNES and Nintendo64 I'm diggin that whole concept. One of my all time fav games was super Mario World. Plus i think Nintendo needed to do this for the consumer. I have a gameboy advance,a nes snes and a nintedo 64 and a gamecube as well as PS and PS2..now i'll be able to more or less box away most the nintendo systems and use just the one. Loooooong past due for this!!!But I'll always be a Nintedo die hard...Ps is ok I'm not all about graphics,online gaming capability ect. I'm all about playing games i enjoy and i dont enjoy a bunch of killing,fighting,bloody games..just not my thing. So i enjoy nintendo because of mario and the like and the constant new innovations they make in gameplay such as donkey kong country with the bongos..its not geared as much toward high tech(with the exception of the revolutions new remote controller)..more towards consumer of any age from young to old..
