Hot off the press: IGN has released the deets about the Nintendo Revolution including price (though not exact figure), RAM and storage on the Revolution’s disks. I’m a bit lazy to write lots about this so I will just list the facts and let you read the article 
.
- Price: “Out of all the developers that IGN talked to, none expected the Rev to debut at a higher price than $150, with a few venturing as low as a $99 price point. Regardless, even at $200 the Revolution would undercut the cost of the Xbox 360 by 50%, since we all know that Core bundles do not count. And since nobody expects the PS3 to be cheap by any stretch of the imagination, I think I’m truly beginning to believe that Nintendo could pull off this whole “supplement rather than subsititute” thing they’ve got going on.“
- Memory: “Initial appraisals set the Revolution’s memory capacity at or around 128MBs; according to IGN, that number’s been lowered to 104MBs—88 megs of 1T-SRAM and 16 megs of D-RAM. Developers have also noted that they have access to the Rev’s built-in 512MBs of onboard flash memory, though flash is no replacement for dedicated RAM. The amount of memory aboard the Revolution’s mysterious Hollywood GPU has yet to be determined, though many developers have placed the number at 3 megs.“
- Storage: “We’ve garnered some excellent commentary in our recent thread regarding Xbox 360 disc capacity, with several people citing the Revolution and its supposed 12GB discs. As it turns out, this isn’t the case… by a long shot. Single-layered Revolution discs will hold 4.7GBs of data, tops, while the dual-layered variety tops out at 8.5 gigs. What will this mean for the content of Revolution games? That’ll depend on the remainder of the Revolution’s hardware, as well as the tools that are made available to the developers.“
So the Revolution won’t have the best specs, but I’m sure it will be a very popular console, because Nintendo were very imaginative and creative when they designed it. There is nothing else like it, and ultimately that is what will make the Revolution shine and stand out from the rest. I know that if the Revolution does turn out to be quite cheap, then I will buy one to try it out as there are many good games for Nintendo consoles, even though a lot of people consider their consoles to be aimed at children. A good example is Splinter Cell for the GameCube and for the DS, which from what I’ve heard seems to be a very good game.

Mr head of Nintendo just said the other day that the controller ISNT the revolutionary aspect, neither is the virtual console. He said there is another secret that will come out at E3. I must admit I did think “revolutionary” was an over statement of the controller, so perhaps it truly will be a revolution in gaming with this new function. Perhaps the controller offers force feedback? Not likely.
