Not to be outdone by the Xbox 360, Nintendo leaked a few juicy details on their Revolution. Perrin Kaplin, Nintendo of America’s VP for corporate affairs, went on record with the following tidbits:
Wireless controllers
Backwards compatibility
Online built in
Sleek design that will stand on its side (she said the size would be the same as 3 DVD cases sitting on top of each other)
DVD format discs (wow)
DVD format interesting maybe this time a Nintendo console will do more than play games.
im not too bothered about DVD playback, but in some ways it feels like nintendo have given up on the 'pure' games machine insisting that there is a market for a machine that just plays games.
The main point of interest is the size - 3 DVD cases sitting on top of each other is ridiculously small. I dont like small consoles, they look as if they're gonna break especially with me being so clumsy.
Good find wraggster.
