The true strengths of the Revolution will not be anything to do with it's graphical prowess. It will not be in HD, and it doesn't have the unified shader architecture or the triple core processor of the 360. It also doesn't have the power of the PS3s Nvidia card.

One of it's strengths will obviously be innovation. Nintendo is the hardware innovator, just like Sega used to innovate in software before they went 3rd party. They are always creative in this area and they won't dissapoint.

The other though might surprise you. The price point and different library of games guarenteed for the Rev are the second strength. Why? Because since PS3 and 360 will have a lot of the same games (A LOT), people like myself who already own a system (I own the 360) will pick up the Rev, since it's cheap and plays games that they can't get anywhere else.

This could propel the Revolution to the number one or two spot.

Just a thought.

First off, I think Sony will come out with unified server architecture just like Live. But as you can tell by all of the rhetoric, this is no different than the missile launching, Toy Story graphics pushing PS2 stories we've heard, the Killzone trailer, and countless other hype spun facts Sony has thrown out over the years.

I'll believe it when I see it (just like the currently vaporware PS3). Likely though you'll have to pay for it, considering that these things cost money to keep up, and also the amount of money Sony will probably lose if they want to be price competitive and still keep the Blu-Ray drive.

Also, the Dreamcast WAS underrated. The hardware in that thing overpowered the PS2 and everyone knows that. Next time you should read up on system specs. Though Sega's were legitimate and Sony's "100000000000000 polys per second" are a little bit exaggerated. The Dreamcast had twice the texture/video memory, loaded games in half the time, and could process more sound channels. The only place the PS2 beat it out (besides marketing) was the DVD.
