--- Quote from: will: wanton sex god ---???  youve been hearing some bad rumors.
a: its somewhat official name is X-Box Next
b: i dont know wher eyou got your info on either the x box next or the ps3.
and lastly c: you were somewhat right on the nintendo thing.  almost no information has been released (similar to xbox next and ps3) its only known that its goign to be very unconventional and supposed to be revolutionary in ways other than technical.

Everything I said has been floating around the internet for some time now. There's still no official name for the next MS system(its development name was Xenon), but the three pronged attack was rumoured from leaked MS documents and the PS3 info has been said outright from Sony for months and months.

And I can't wait to try RTS games on the DS. It's the first non-PC platform that can possibly do it well.

well, id like to see some sources then, sir.

Ozymandias:
You trust me so little?

No problem...

I admit, the three versions of the XBox rumor has the least credible source, but it does have a source.

Xenon code name for new XBox

Microsoft planning three version of XBox 2

Cell by 2006 info (It takes a long time to search these archives...)

Article speculating that the PS3 will actually be pushed to 2007 due to Sony wanting to use Cell and Blu-Ray

Confirmation that the PS3 will use Blu-Ray

I actually can't find a definite statement saying the PS3 will use Cell, though I could've sworn one existed.

c1utch:
dont forget the announcment that "halo 2.5" would be released with the second xbox console

all xbox 2 (and a good bit on ps3) information can be found here:

http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=155839&st=105

basically, whats pretty much expected, is 3 versions, like Ozymandias said.

Both the ps3 and the new xbox's chips are in theory made or designed by IBM, however the xbox's will probabally be a powerpc ship similar to what is found in the powermac G5s.

I wouldn't be suprised if no news has come from nintendo because they havn't actually begun to design a new console yet.  

And in response to the view of nintendo as a kiddie company: I am of that view.  Nintendo may not have changed over the last however many years, but gamers sure have.  They've grown up.  Mortal Kombat has blood now, without a cheat code.  I'm 16, when the xbox/GC came out I was a good 13, and even then I felt as though the GC was for my 8 year old cousin.  

The same with the DS vs the PSP, in reality, I feel silly, immature holding the DS.  I can't explain why, it may be the pictochat program, or just my memory relating mario64 to when I was 11.

happybirthdaygelatin:
as to the "image of nintendo" thing i think it takes a level of maturity reached to realize you don't concern your self with your "images" and can appreciate a good game, regardless of the system.

i'm with ozymandias on prefering consoles to personal computers but that has more to do with my budget and prefence.  both have stronger and weaker points as you have both pointed out.  there is innovation in both fields and they both make their corporations involved rich off us.  so everbody wins because they have choice, yay.

Ozymandias:
I'm not sure what "growing up" has to do with refusing to play good games though.

So what if the games are kid friendly? They're still fantastic and fun.
