See outside the Box. It's Amazing.

Don't worry:

"Our next home system won't simply be new or include new technologies. Better technology is good, but not enough. Today's consoles already offer fairly realistic expressions so simply beefing up the graphics will not let most of us see a difference. So what should a new machine do? Much more. An unprecedented gameplay experience. Something no other machine has delivered before." - Iwata
Because the Revolution is:

"It's convenient to make games that are played on TVs. (...) I've always thought that games would eventually break free of the confines of a TV screen to fill an entire room." - Miyamoto
Easy to use and really amazing:

"I think maybe if I could do anything, I would make it so you don´t have to sit in front of a TV and play. If you could have a machine that you just plugged in and played inside a virtual world that - would be just great." -Miyamoto
Change your paradigms:

"Sitting in front of your monitor with a controller, there's really nowhere to go from that paradigm, all you can do is make it prettier and faster." - Miyamoto
Expand your definition of Gaming:

"When you turn on Revolution and see the graphics, you will say 'wow!'" - Iwata
Because the Revolution is NEAR:

"Not just a portable, not just a console - it's exactly what we wanted in that it's the birth of a completely new platform." - Wada (Square Enix)


This is a Disrupter Development... and it's coming:

"We disrupted the very definition of a game - and that is working, too. In a few weeks, you will better understand how to disrupt console gaming. You will play, and you will SEE." - Iwata

Think outside the Box.
What you've seen today... think outside the box. SEE outside the Box.
The successor of the Famicom, the new disrupter console of the videogames industry history...
N5 is only the second step of the Revolution. But, it will be amazing. I f you can SEE outside the box.

Yeah... I have to say it:

Believe...!

Explain with the following limited hardware how they can push 3d projection.
Oh yea and your post messed up emagindev's blog. Fix the html there

Official Revolution Specs
READ MORE: GameCube, Hardware, PS3, Xbox, console wars, revolution, specs, top, xbox 360
IGN has gotten the skinny on the Revolution's horsepower (or lack thereof). Nintendo has been tight-lipped, even saying that the company many never divulge the details on the Revolution's "Broadway" CPU and "Hollywood" GPU. IGN's anonymous sources, all in possession of development hardware, report that the Revolution runs on an extension of Gekko and Flipper architectures that powered the GameCube.

According to official Nintendo documentation, the IMB produced "Broadway" CPU is clocked at 729 MHz. To put things in perspective, the GameCube's Gekko CPU powered at 485 MHz, while the Xbox 360's CPU runs at 3.2 GHz. The original Xbox's clocked at 733 MHz.

The Revolution's ATI-developed "Hollywood" GPU runs at 243 MHz, compared to the GameCube's GPU that clocked at 162 MHz. "The 'Hollywood' is a large-scale integrated chip that includes the GPU, DSP, I/O bridge and 3MBs of texture memory," a studio source told IGN.

Other numbers include 88 MBs of system RAM, while the GameCube sported 40 MBs of RAM. The original Xbox had 64 MBs of RAM. However, the PS3 and the Xbox 3 boast 512 MBs of RAM.

So what does this mean? Well, pretty much what Nintendo has saying the entire time: they are not competing with the muscle consoles. Compared to the PS3 and the Xbox 360, the Revolution is underpowered. But while the specs may not exactly be mind-blowing, cheap games and invention are.

Why is it you don't answer my question about the specs and how the stereoscopic 3d can run on the low specs?
post my comment please and answer

As Iwata said:

"We disrupted the very definition of a game - and that is working, too. In a few weeks, you will better understand how to disrupt console gaming. You will play...

and you will SEE."

Something is behind the dooRS. Are those the official specs? they are not. But may be.

I said that the strong Environment of the Revolution will be the TV. A contact is saying me that I should to talk about the 3D Environment. I won't in this moment. All that I can say is that there are a lot of technologies that are cheap and easy to use.

And, It's NEAR.
Wait... I will talk more, but I'm overworked. That is why I don't update the comments section frequently. Only per night.

Yo no entiendo algo, si el Revolution es tan "debil" graficamente, porque Nintendo mejor no saca un add-on para el GameCube que contenga el control y el tercer secreto?? Es algo que para mi no tiene sentido, y asi nos podriamos ahorrar una buena lana... (si es que Rev = GC 1.5 )

I still fail to see any specs or comments from any developers that would lead me to believe stereoscopic 3d is on the horizon.
I just do not see it and I am not wearing goggles or a headset.
