Nintendo's philosophy on the current state of the industry is spot on, IMO. Cramming graphics chips into a box that supports HD when only like 25% of people with HD are actually using it is NOT innovation. Nintendo is keeping development costs down by not supporting HD, but is giving people tech they can actually use, with WiFi and USB support, as well as that controller that I'm DYING to get my hands on.
*edit* IMO the pc as a gaming platform is all but dead. The pc section at stores like EB and GameStop are almost non-existent.

Which is precisely why I bought a GameCube. I don't have a lot of time for gaming myself, but I wanted a console that my kids could play on, that was durable, and that I could still find games for, if and when I had the time. The GameCube is all that, even if I had to wait nearly 6 months for Lego Star Wars.
I'm looking forward to the Revolution, and so are my kids.
