Fresh off our trip to New York City to the Digital Life Press Preview event, we have come back with some important news for Nintendo fans concerning Nintendo's next console currently code-named the Revolution. There has been much speculation about the console's graphics, and how
ext-generation the games will be. Satoru Iwata has promised that the game's will wow consumers, but we just don't know how the games are going to look.

Well, at the Digital Life Press Preview event, we spoke with ATI, the developer and producer of the Revolution's graphics chip currently known as the Hollywood. According to the ATI representative we spoke with, the Hollywood graphics chip is more powerful that the GameCube's graphics chip, but not on par with that of the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. At the time of the event, the ATI representative was not able to elaborate on any specs or any other information on the Revolution. We were only told not to expect the same graphical quality that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will offer.

Knowing that however we are not sure how much of a differenece there will be between the Revolution, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3's graphics. There has been much speculation as to how the Revolution's graphics will look, and much speculation about that Metroid Prime 3 demo shown at E3 2005, which we can tell you was built on the GameCube hardware, not that of the Revolution. At this time we would speculate that the difference in the graphic power of the Revolution and the Xbox 360 will be comparible to that of the difference between the GameCube and the Xbox. It is also to be noted that pure specs and technical power do not alone make up a console or it's performance.

We could speculate further, but we are just going to have to wait for Nintendo to come out and show us the Revolution, it's graphical power, and what sort of gameplay
evolution the machine will offer. We have spoken with ATI and brought back what little information is available, and at this point you are just going to have to wait for more information directly from Nintendo.

Petite Traduction:


ils disent que la difference entre la revo et la 360 sera comparable a celle qu'il y a entre la cube et la box 1ere du nom.


We were only told not to expect the same graphical quality that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will offer.
ous pouvons seulement dire de ne pas esperer la meme qualité graphique que sur les 360 et PS3


speculation about that Metroid Prime 3 demo shown at E3 2005, which we can tell you was built on the GameCube hardware, not that of the Revolution. la demo de Metroid 3 est bien sur un hardware gamecube, pas sur la revo


It is also to be noted that pure specs and technical power do not alone make up a console or it's performance. il est aussi a noter que ce sont les caracteristiques purs et que la puissance technique ne fait pas a elle seule la console ou ses performances

We could speculate further, but we are just going to have to wait for Nintendo to come out and show us the Revolution, it's graphical power, and what sort of gameplay
ous pourrions en dire plus mais non laisserons nintendo decider quand il decidera d'en dire plus
