On the store page it shows that the the lowest end model has integrated intel graphics, whereas the other 2 models have nvidia (although this may be a typo, since it says intel nvidia graphics for the middle model)

Bigpark's website says they were partially behind SSX, so I'm really looking forward to this. Despite the fact that they lifted 90% of Team Fortress 2's visual style.

What did you expect to hear from the "execs"? Why would they ever admit to having new consoles? That would kill sales for the consoles they are selling, in pretty good numbers, right now. This also doesn't make sense:

"we have to imagine that we won't be seeing any new $400 to $600 hardware anytime soon."

What is microsoft releasing next month? A $400 xbox, which is, as you say, a 5ish year old piece of hardware.

Apparently they need about 1 year to localize a game with minimal story and dialogue. I was really looking forward to playing it, but I'm definitely starting to lose interest. Perhaps I'll pick up the PSP version.

This seems completely valid to me. It's meant to inform rather than offend.

I'm guessing you are a PS# owner?

That 2 looks limp and apologetic. Much like I expect the game to be.

That strategy may have made some sense for Japan, but for the US they didn't even bother releasing Monster Hunter 3 (obviously it doesn't have the same presense in US but I would have bought it). Needless to say my interest in my Wii has 'cooled' and my desire to sell it has 'warmed'.
