I still bought the X-Box, but I respect Nintendo and Sega in a way that I'll never respect Sony or Microsoft, because they were focused on producing quality, fun, creative games irrespective of mass-market appeal. And this is coming from an avid Nintendo-basher in the days of yore. Call it naive, but that's what it was all about back in the day.
I agree with you. It seems like the other manufacturers are pushing the hardware envelope just to push it and saturate the market with cookie-cutter games. Nintendo's philosophy has always been about quality. They may have a smaller library compared to the other two (not over the past 20 years, though!), but their stuff is miles ahead in originality and design. I bought a GC for our house this past July. My first console since Sega Saturn, my first Nintendo product since NES. I love being back, and plan on getting the revolution when it comes out.
That being said: Any idea on a street date or price tag on the Rev?
