nintendo doesn't have a lot of third party support because they only appeal to a small audience and game developers dont want to make games for a console that doesn't have a large audience.

nintendo will always being in the console business as long as they have that audience. look at apple computers they only have approx. 10% of the pc market still they keep on making computers.

good point but we have seen this path walked by sega before, so if you should treat this as an experiment and check the factors involved you'll see that both situations were sorta the same i.e sega and nintendo. sega like nintendo made good games the problem was too small an audience. nintendo has just managed to survive a bit longer there demise is an inescapable eventuality.

A little excerpt about it's 'power'.

I don't really trust it completely though, doesn't the PS3 have a single + PowerPC based core + seven synergistic processing units?

Edit:
The specs seem to be correct, some chinese articles say the same thing.
Not a little, weak console afterall...

Nintendo is growing up.

I certainly wouldn't count it out of competition yet. Especially since we know next to nothing about the Revolution.

^ good point. And who's to say nintendo will meet it's fate this generation? Nintendo may produce a N6 or 7 before they meet their end. Time will only tell nintendo's fate.

yea i'll admit that nintendo has kept us in the dark with the consoles capability. guess time will tell its a three way mexican stand off ps has fired M$ has fired its now Nintendo's turn.

They said further specs would be unveiled throughout this year, just to keep their "rivaling consoles" guessing. I would much like to know their specs to see just how well they stack up.

I hope they do good.
