Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has admitted that the Revolution console will be lower tech than Microsoft and Sony. He said that his company will not be fighting the competition with more power or better graphics. Instead, Iwata wants the machine to be quiet, inexpensive and compact.
As far
as cost is concerned, Iwata said that software for the machine will be about $50, which is $10 less than the XBox 360 and, probably, the PS3 as well.
The Revolution will not integrate a hard drive, but it will have 512 MB of flash memory, allowing for some initial storage space. There will also be slots for SD memory cards and it will have plenty of USB ports.
The Nintendo Revolution console runs on an extended version of the GameCube's architecture which has made it very easy for game studios to get right in development without having to learn everything from scratch again, which should mean that games will not only run better but are cheaper to make too.
