Default Re: No Revolution at E3 (time for a throat slitting...a rant)

I don't know why so many of you guys are trying to justify their means of competing. They are NOT going to show the Revolution or even hint about it's concepts or aspects at E3. The way I see it, major fans of Nintendo are trying to justify their competitive edge by saying they will be showing snippets and footage of game demo's on the Revolution.

Right now... that means crap. Showing demo footage of Revolution games will mean nothing to press and gamers when they've got 2 totally capable consoles playing the same footage ON THE CONSOLE in the PS3 and X360. Both MS and Sony are making their consoles playable at E3, so showing game footage for the Revolution will do no justice to them not showing the Rev at all. So... that in terms of hype... goes out the window.

If I were press, and was watching game footage for all 3 consoles, and Nintendo Rev footage being played on a film strip.... I'd be turned off....The other 2 consoles at the moment are playing the footage on the hardware, showing it's full capability and not what is expected of the console.

Face it, the whole purpose of hype for E3 was to have a 3 way battle. But if Nintendo can't even compete with the hardware showings of E3, they will lose a lot of interest.
