dunno if if it's old or not, or if it's been posted but w/e

 

I'm reading the thread there asking what users are buying of the 3. I love some of the comments total flocking morons make.

 

Xbox 360. Revolution is under-powered, and the PS3 is (potentially) over-priced.

 

the backwards compatibility for revolution requires an add-on, basicall makiong it utterly pointless...The revolution loses my vote entirely

 

I like the revolution next best but historically i was always with SEGA so never buy anything Nintendo.

 

Theres plenty more stupidity in the thread, infact almost all 180+ comments are blatently AOLer stupid. Others pertaining to PS3/Xbox 360.......but thats not what THIS thread is about.

One word: Owned. God, those quotes are lame to the max.

[Gryph]

The general gaming site population is horrifyingly stupid. Luckily we don't have many of those kinds of people.

What inky said . Sorry for going off topic. What do you want me to say? That the system looks like it's the only one that isnt wireless?

[Inky]

yeap looks like it uses the same plugs as NGC, and the same memcard slots too.

[Lucandrake]

it looks like they riped off the N64 ports , and the Gamecube Memory card slots, made them super small, and attached it to the new system. Other then that, I want a black or white one

[Gryph]

Well the NGC ports are for backwards compatibility. The controllers will be wireless and weird.

[Inky]

The controllers will be wireless and weird.

I would expect nothing less from nintendo. a nintendo system with out a horrid demented controller these days is like a day without sunshine.

Here's an intersting article I read on the state of Nintendo in the gaming business. I didn't know they were still THIS powerful. Even though it's on a Nintendo site, the guy did his research.

thats an interesting spin by the big N. throwing gba, gba sp, ds and ngc all together to pad their numbers out. everyone knows nintendo sells a bagillion GBAs a year.

As you can see once again, for lifetime sales through July 2004, Nintendo took the top spot. (Note, Nintendo sold 22,579,000 Game Boy Advance systems and 7,672,000 GameCube systems.)
