Xbox 360 (degrees) Is The Revolution
Hulabaloza:
I recently was shown what I can only describe as conclusive evidence that Nintendo and MS will be operating in a partnership during the next wave of consoles. Here is what I know and can reveal without giving up who I am or what I do.
The console referred to as the Revolution only exists on paper. Nintendo is fully supporting the Xenon or 360, MS's next console.
Nintendo is still developing a new handheld seperately. It somehow links to the Xenon wirelessly and has features outside of just gaming.
The important point is that there is NO Revolution cause Nintendo is totally in MS's camp as far as set top box/online gaming and console gaming.
Look out there and there is a large amount of evidence supporting this already - the code names (360 - Revolution). This is why many big developers are only prepping retail chains for XB2/PS3 games and no developer is ever commenting on the Revolution architecture or anything about it. This is why the Revolution and Xenon share all the same hardware suppliers.
Also, look at the needs. Nintendo is scared of Sony (the PSP). MS wants to destroy Sony (the set top box/console market). They both have market share & brand in the two area's (console & handheld) to compete with Sony (PS3 & PSP). If they go it alone they could both be at a major disadvantage.
It's killing me not to say more, but you can believe this or not.....and the truth will fully be known in a month or so anyway.

That would be cool , but i kind of doubt it.
ninjax:
Nintendo has WAY more pride than to join with MS. Also, didnt MS just say that they were fully backing the Gizmondo? Something designed to crush the Nintendo and Sony handheld?
I gotta call BS on this. Like I said, Nintendo would rather shut their doors than side with MS, and they have patented a lot of "weird" technology that MS has not mentioned at all. I think they stated that they were going with a virtual reality route that no one had attempted to do before, making it a "revolution" in gaming.
Foe-hammer:
Such a merger would give MS the upper hand against Sony, and quite possibly crushing their 10 yr console reign.
While this sounds too good to be true, i'm not sure if i would want it, as it might make Nintendo less creative.
It will be a sad day when both Sega and Nintendo bow out of the hardware business. The 8 and 16 bit day are the glory days of video games, and hold some of my fondest memories.
Long live Nintendo!

Im kinda lost... i have been on quite a few sites and the biggest battle thats going on is over the name, what is the name of the X box 2, is it X box Next/Xenon, X box 360 or
X box Revolution. The ratio of people agreeing on 1 of 3 is even. So which one is it? :evil:
