2-3x Gamecube power? That makes sense, how in the fuck could they fit PS3/X360 power into something that small? Not possible.
Remember, Nintendo is always EXTREMELY conservative about numbers.
GCN stats weren't so hot in comparison to Xbox, but the difference between games hasn't been anything vast. 20 foot distance on Wavebird, though it can go all the way to 100 feet?
Also, the console looks just sexy. It's not in your face, it's not about a weird shape, it just looks like it's hi-tech.

I'm not into chipping, modding, soldering, or spending time trying to get emulators to properly render a game the way it once played. I'm willing to pay Nintendo a small (small, you hear me, Reggie?) fee to dump a ROM that I know works onto whatever storage medium(s) the Rev supports, and let me keep it for eternity.

Did Nintendo ever say, "Gamecube is *blank* times more powerful than N64" at the end of last gen? If so, how did they compare the two?

It's gotta be able Xbox levels, but by how much is the question. But yeah, this isn't pleasing to my graphics whoreness. Ah well, Nintendo may be positioning themselves as a cheap secondary system. I wouldn't mind owning a PS3 and Rev if the price of the Rev is right.

hey, its all about profits, Nintendo fans are always talking about those great profits. Maybe thats why only 2-3x power..? Who cares about horsepower as long as nintendo makes money.

I said Rev would have a netplay/downloadable game service months ago. Now we need DS/new gameboy game uploading for my psychic abilities to be confirmed.
Looks like Matt posted it because Steven Kent was the first to leak it:

Until we see what "2 - 3 times more powerful than GC" means in screenshots/gameplay/videos, I think no one should be making any assumptions that its going to be marginal in power compared to the other two consoles. Lets kindly wait until after the E3 conference.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Please tell me there is more to the "revolution" than the download service. It's a nice idea, great little feature, but it really isn't that amazing. Not enough to make me go out and buy one on Day 1, you know? I'm hoping there is a lot more to be shown, I want to see some crazy ass Nintendo idea.
FYI:
Using the "x" factor to determine how powerful the Revolution will be isn't the hottest idea in the world. There are raw numbers of how the chips perform, and there are real world performance issues.
Wait for a hardware spec sheet, then run it up against the PS3 and XBox 360 to see where the system stands as far as raw horsepower goes.

If it is only 2-3x more powerfull, it will spell doom for the big N... Why?
Because it will make it very hard to do any type of cross platform development. With the costs of next gen dev being so high, the only way to make money is to keep development of all three versions of a game on the same pathway for as long as possible. As soon as you have to start making all new art assets for a different system, costs go way up.

Get a grip, people. The conference is less than eight hours away, and getting worked up over such a vague comment isn't worth the time or energy that you will inevitably put into it.

Judging from Kaplan's statements, it seems they're indeed conceding that Revolution will be a lot less powerful than the other consoles.mj1108 said:

Didn't Iwata say they would at least match their competitors for power? Why would he say that while all along they were making this? It's not out of the realm of possibility, but it's really weird.

I trust Steven Kent. He was the first to show the DS. This better be a HUGE revolution because the mainstream will shun away from the graphics.
so it seems like revolution is closest to being the '1.5' system. still may pick one up as a secondary console, but i'm really getting the feeling that nintendo is just taking a smaller step forward (technically) than sony and microsoft. maybe they think that half step won't be too noticable to the casual eye?
heh, at least with the rev's small size, it'll be easy to share space with a 360/ps3 in my entertainment center.
