That roughly fits in with expectations..
With the big N not worrying about HD output, they can get away with much cheaper components, but ones that will still be able to cut the mustard with the lower resolutions
I suspect Nintendo are going to be perfectly happy to let Microsoft and Sony battle it out for top dog honours, while they go with a lower price point on both hardware and games and grab the majority of the "2nd console" market. That'd be especially true if Nintendo shunned the usual EA dross and produce more of their unique and innovative titles![]()

dont you play old games that you like? do you play them for the graphics?
you play them for the fun, and thats what its all about.
you could have the best looking games, but with rabbish game play, and we dont want that to be the case, beside the console will be much cheaper that you wont think alot about its price when you buy it.
also the games should be cheap since the hardware didnt change much ie devlopment costs will be much cheaper
Still a bit dissappointing. Sure I play the gamecube for fun not graphics, but would it have been hard to keep a new unit compatible with the old and add a few more bells and whistles?
The interesting thing will be the pricing of this against the rivals.
bear in mind IGN have made all sorts of "this is fact, our sources say so" statements in the past - hell, they're the ones who broke the news about the final name for nintendo's starcube - so take this news with a bucket of salt or two. i'd be astonished if the final spec weren't a little meatier in the CPU department - 1ghz minimum
looks like a console that would be in my house.
pikmin metroid zelda, I love those games
I downloaded a spectrum emulator the other day and played Jet set willy and Jetpac.. fantastic!
Although I did try and play the Hobbit but couldn't remember all the written commands![]()

Hopefully the pricing will mean that it will be easily affordable to have a Revolution alongside a PS3/Xbox360...

Those specs seem reasonable, although like hex I think that they will push it to 1ghz in the end, its a PPC based CPU so 1ghz would be a very respectable speed, without needing the gazillion fans that the xbox 360 has (its so friggin loud)
I don't think that HD will be important for another few years at least, not until its commonplace in peoples homes. So really nintendo are doing the most sensible thing, they will produce a quality console that is cheap to buy, providing access to most of nintendos back catalogue, along with some of sega's. The revolutionary controller will be what makes or breaks it though - the difficulty will probably be in convincing people that they dont need a 'standard' controller anymore, as really we have had the same style of controller since pong.
They have announced in another article that they will keep the prices of the games below 50$US, which is pretty good since most 360 games are aroung the 60$ mark..
Taking into account when it launches, the same time as the PS3, the XBOX360 will slash its price, I reckon to about 150 for core and 200-220 for premium.
With that in line, and that it used similar parts as the gamecube, just slightl better, 4 years on, didnt it launch about 130? Hopefully the revolution will launch for 99 quid, undercutting the 360 by a lot, but them still making a wedge of a profit on it cos of the cheap parts it uses

Is it going to be possible to use a standard GC controller for the Virtual Console games?
