Back to topic, concerning the link you gave me, I took another look at the article. Here are some things I found out.
1. The source is from Microsoft not IGN.
2. http://img279.echo.cx/img279/2450/majornelson1gu.jpg
3. Even if Xbox360 was stronger it's going to be released in the fall, Sony has one full year to pump the PS3 higher up again if they wanted.
Nintendo is the best, they always make the coolest games, they have Smash Bros. and Zelda, they are the coolest company ever. I'm getting a Revolution, but I always go with Nintendo because I'm totally hot for them.
Nintendo actually cares about fun and innovation instead of lying about system specs and creating games that appeal to the mass audience and FUCKING STEALING PERFECT DARK and stuff. Mario jumps on Sony and Microsoft's heads with extreme force.
You sound like a fanboy, people dont listen to fanboys.

maybe that shows microsoft care? why would they buy out rare otherwise?
Anyway all three companies care about money just as much, Nintendo needed to make good games because the Nes and gameboy were underpowered compared with most competition. It worked well for them so they've stuck with that plan.
Neither the NES nor the gameboy had all that much competition at launch dude, given the gaming market at the time. The Nintendo Seal of Quality came in after the 1983 game crash, which is why N has a reputation for tastyness.
I know that they basically inherited the market when everyone else pulled out, but over the years the nes beat all other consoles until the Megadrive/gensesis came along.
Although i think part of that was the restrictions on game companies.
Its more free nowadays so Sony, microsoft or nintendo could end up the major leaders, i bet sony have a better chance with the platstation name though.
Jon - That article isn't a blow to Nintendo fans as you seem to think it is. I think Nintendo did a good job, they didn't show any Rev content, except for the short clips from MP3, (Wow, the only ACTUAL vids from a next gen system). Yet sony was showing "PS3 games" which were, well, Not. And the same thing goes for microsoft with the X360.
Sure it's "only" 3 times more powerful than a Cube, but that's what Nintendo says, ever notice how they tend to low ball their performance? I'd readily believe that as opposed to sony's claim that the PS3 is 35 times the power of the PS2. Yeah, and the PS2 was 100 times more powerful than the PS1. (fft, blow it out your lying hole sony). I can't speak for the box, but that doc M$ wrote up is full of BS
And Nintendo is STILL laughing about making more profits off the new GBA.
Oh yes, they didn't show the controller; I'd bet twenty bucks it's better than that Boomerang that sony's passing off as a controller.
