Not to be overshadowed by the Xbox 360 announcement last night and the forthcoming Sony PlayStation 3 news next week, Nintendo has released details of their own next generation console, the Revolution, to CVG. Like last week's UK election, it seems all of the contenders are singing from the same hymn sheet.
Revolution will also feature out-of-the-box online connectivity, wireless controllers, DVD playback (are they finally getting rid of proprietary software formats??), a sleek design and backwards compatibility.
As Greg observes, however, it's the software which'll guarantee console success, and Nintendo needs some new properties. Mario and Zelda have their long-term fans, but do contemporary and new gamers want more GTA and Halo?
