Video Games A new nitendo system??

The PS3 was in development or was slated for it BEFORE the release of the PS2, how about that?

I don't think that Nintendo would actually make a new gaming system so soon, if only for the fact that the 'Cube right now uses existing technology. The only feasible reason I can see Nintendo making another one is to make a multimedia console instead of a simple gaming console to actually compete with Sony and Microsoft. It was of my opinion that the Gamecube should have gone in that direction in the first place, but Nintendo wanted to keep their consoles "gaming only."

I'm glad Nintendo's gonna finally stretch out. I mean, even when the 'Cube came out, and Nintendo finally went into storageable disks, they went and used specialized disks that can't play on anything else. IF they go mainstream, I'd think that more people would again be looking at Nintendo, because despite the lackluster (I think) n64 and the dismal Virtual Boy, peopel still trust Nintendo. Especially with the advent of the Advance. Nintendo will always be a quality firm, because they *do* quality. It's just that separating from the mainstream *isn't* exactly too good in terms of business sense.

I get people at work all the time wanting a DVD player AND a console that can't afford it. So, why in their right mind would they want to buy a 'Cube, right? Well, if Nintendo can cure that remedy with this new system (if it comes out, and is a multimedia console) then I personally think they're headed in the right direction.

And as far as Graphics go, PS2 is not exactly the *BEST*. Sure, more software gets developed for it, and all advances are pretty much seen there first. But, the Cube has really crispy graphics as well, and did NOT have all the anti-asliasing problems that the PS2 had on its startup. Hehehe, I remember way back when it first came out, most games were delayed because the anti-aliasing software was not exactly efficient and took up too much memory resources.
