The next-gen wars seem to be heating up, especially w/ the media of E3. The look of the PS3 is finally revealed, as well as the XBox 360 and Nintendo Revolution. Just like the current gen it's not only about pure power of the system, it's got a lot to do with timeing, marketing, software support, and pure luck. Things should get interesting over the next few months.
The following is from an IGN article covering E3 events
Revolution => two-to-three times more powerful than GameCube
Xbox 360 => 13-15 times more powerful than the first
PS3 => roughly 35 times more powerful than PlayStation 2
The Revolution is the obvious underdog for the coming up console wars, especially since losing the current one. I'm personally rooting for PS3 but it will be good to have a strong competitor on its heels, side-by-side, or winning. Hopefully my fav series will stay on the console (Tekken, Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Burnout, Gran Turismo)
Also looking forward to Halo, Perfect Dark, and Dead or Alive on Xbox. Lets just hope the Halo staff doesn't slack off and cut out of the single player experience.
Here are some links in case someone wants to read up on the next-gen systems:
Nintendo Revolution (?no FAQ link?)
Microsoft XBox 360
Sony Playstation 3
Next-gen Console comparison
So do you guys have any thoughts on how the console war will turn out or interesting new game info. I still won't buy any of the consoles when they first come out. Too expensive and they will make inprovements and drop the price later. My PS2 & Xbox still have a lot of life left.
