For those who are concerned, IGN has opened a Revolution section with some exclusive tech details as their opening story.
http://revolution.ign.com/
Here's an interesting snippet from the article
When Revolution was initially unveiled, a Nintendo executive said it would be "two-to-three times more powerful than GameCube." The company never commented on Revolution's horsepower again and we were later told that the initial statement was incorrect. However, according to development houses, that description accurately sums up Revolution's power.
"To be honest, it's not much more powerful than an Xbox. It's like a souped up Xbox," a major third party source revealed to us. "But it's the controller that makes the difference and the controller is really nice."
Yet more praise from 3rd parties:
Asked if it was developing for Revolution, one major third party source said that it was well past the experimental stage and was evaluating what types of games might work on the platform. "We are looking at it quite differently. It's like another current generation platform for us. But it's such a nice controller that it opens up a lot of possibilities. It's very different and it's very precise."
All I can say is that it's about time. Now, all I want is for them to fill the page with information. :)
Just save enough info for the big unveiling @ E3 to leave me slack-jawed and :drool:.
