Revolution's ENVIRONMENT I

You've waiting too much for info. But, you can see that I was waiting for an obvious reason. Why? The GDC. We're overworked searching and getting the info of this event. But Nintendo is giving a lot of traces, not any info. We've expected this to happen, but we're doing what we can to demask the traces.

Well, Today I will speak about Revolution's Environment. It will be part one.

I know what everybody are claiming: visors, 3d stereoscopic, projections, 3D simulated images, touch screens. There are too many companies going around within hype: emagin, 3DH, Light Blue Optics, and more.

And... the real environment goes to...

The TV!!! the...?? WTF??? the TV????

Well, The Revolution has a great ideology. The Blue Ocean Market. You can't scare 'em. The visor will frighten 'em for sure.
The Touch Screen not. And you will have for sure a Touch Screen.
What about 3D simulated images with 3DH? Well, if you have to use special glasses it won't work. Because people doesn't want complications. And, this isn't really amazing.
What about Projectors? Well, the price is high for the projectors. The Revolution will be a less than $300 dollars console. And this includes the system and the controller, it will have a cost around $280.00 As I know... the price for consumers? it will be less, may be $200 or $250 the bigger. But, if you have a projector, you can use it.
Many screens will be used, the TV, the HD-TV, the LCD monitor, the CRT monitor, a portable screen, a visor too, etc.

But, is it revolutionary? of course that not. Remember that we're in the beggining of the Revolution. And think about this: Miyamoto, Iwata, Reggie and more have been talked about new concepts for gaming, expanding the Definition of Gaming. Miyamoto said: "It's convenient to develop games for the TV, but I ever wanted a custom screen without the four corners of the regular TV". Can Nintendo hype everybody to say at last: "sorry, we'll use the same paradigm of gaming and we only change the controller"? This will be a wrong step.
So, there is a new secret. And this is about the Environment.
What I called as Project NEAR.
But, what the hell is project NEAR?
Remember when the Revolution Controller info was around the web before TGS. The information was right. A Controller as the gyroscopic, but, the form of this controller and many features of it was a true surprise.
First, the Gyroscopic ... now, the 3D Stereoscopic ...

I'm overworked, I will talk about NEAR in the next days...
