The Revolution WILL be < $250! I think I can go preorder now... [smile]   
  All I can say is...Wow.My next console will be a Wii. I don't know how much money they're going to lose on these consoles, but I bet they'll do very very well in the long run for underpricing themselves compared to the competition.   ;Quote:I don't know how much money they're going to lose on these consolesAs the revolution is a rather modest improvement on the gamecube hardware wise (compared to the PS3 and 360 anyway) I doubt they'll be losing that much, if any.Personally the only nextgen console I'm going to consider buying within the next year or two is a Wii unless of course the PS3 or 360 have some dramatic price reductions (as in become < £200).   ;  I don't really play console games much since getting a more powerful gaming PC -- now I just double click on an app on the desktop for a 10-minute break. Unearthing the TV has just become more inconvenient. [grin]   ;  To my knowledge, Nintendo has never sold its consoles at a loss (well, perhaps excepting the Virtual Boy). Microsoft and Sony are the ones who are selling consoles below-cost to get market share; Nintendo isn't really in that fight. Or rather, they're after market share, sure, but they're after a different market than the one that Microsoft and Sony are competing over - the new gamers, not the old ones. They don't currently face any competition from other videogame companies in that market, so they have no incentive to sell below-cost.   ;  /me sits back and continues playing Tomb Raider Legend on his 360. [grin]   ;  So for the price of the PS3, I can almost buy a Revolution AND an XBox-360.   ;Quote:Original post by Machaira/me sits back and continues playing Tomb Raider Legend on his 360. [grin]how do you like legend btw? i am playing it on my PC now with a Geforce 6800 Ultra SLI setup -- plays nice with max settings at 1600x1200 res. i think this game will end up being too short -- but i think its a start on revitalizing the TR series.   ;Quote:Original post by SneftelSo for the price of the PS3, I can almost buy a Revolution AND an XBox-360.Or you could buy a lot of booze.   ;Quote:Original post by RavuyaQuote:Original post by SneftelSo for the price of the PS3, I can almost buy a Revolution AND an XBox-360.Or you could buy a lot of booze.How about a Revolution AND booze?I might even consider picking up a Wii after awhile, but I think first thing to buy will be a DS, that just looks like fun.
