Nintendo's Revolution console, its answer to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will ship mid-2006, a component supplier has revealed.
Everyone knows IBM is supplying Nintendo with processor technology, while ATI is contributing Revolution's graphics engine. Less well known is MoSys - aka Monolithic Systems - which provides the console's embedded memory, via NEC.
MoSys CEO Mark Voll, speaking this week during the company's Q1 FY2005 earnings conference, confirmed the company is working with Nintendo on Revolution, Gamesindustry.biz reports. Furthermore, "Nintendo will roll out its successor game console to the GameCube in mid-2006".
Whoops.
everyone was expecting this kind of date. Nintendo staffers have, in the past, criticised Microsoft for bringing its next-generation Xbox to market too early - to whit, late 2005 - and ahead of the cycle. Sony's PS3 is expected to ship in round about a year, and Revolution's release date has always been anticipated to be much the same as the PS3's.
Sony and Nintendo are both expected to discuss their next-generation consoles next week, ahead of the E3 games trade show in Los Angeles. Insiders claim that Nintendo's coverage of Revolution will be rather more subdued than Sony's, being restricted to footage of in-game action rather than a full unveiling of the kind Sony is expected to make.
Meanwhile, according to Chinese-language website Unika.com, Revolution will contain four 2.5GHz G5-class IBM PowerPC processors, each with 128KB of L1 cache and 512KB of L2. ATI's contribution is a dual-core RN520 chip, with 16MB of in-package frame buffer DRAM. ®

Joystiq and Engadget got our grubby fingers on the Nintendo Revolution box (yes, the one behind the locked door in the secret room guarded by a beefy muscleman). We picked it up, we played with the buttons, we poked, we prodded, and we slipped a CD into it. Oops! We werent supposed to do that. Guess what happened?
The CD just fell into the box. No mechanism grabbed the edge of the CD and pulled it in slowly, even though the box was plugged in. The CD just slid in cleanly and quickly except for brief resistance at the entrance. There wasnt any scraping or messy sound to it, so the CD didnt collide with any internal mechanism that one might expect it to collide with were such mechanisms present. To get the CD out, we just tipped the box over and it slid right back out. Really, it was as if the CD had been dropped into a small, rectangular box with smooth sides.
All that glowing slot does is just glow.
When we picked up the Revolution and turned it over in our hands, we noticed that was hefty and had a good, solid feel to it. All of the cables and plugs looked like they were functional as well. There was nothing obviously fake about this prototype except for the funny CD mechanism, but this is certainly curious. We also shook the box vigorously to see if there were any loose or moving parts inside of it but there were no sounds; everything appeared to be fixed inside the box.
Does this mean that the actual unit on display is a pure dummy model with a few weights inside it to give it heft? Does this indicate anything about how far along Nintendo is with the development of the Revolution? If we were to load a disc into the Xbox 360 or the PS3, what would happen? Is the lack of a working slot-loading mechanism worrisome, or typical in a prototype at this stage of development?
Edit: Anybody know if the Xbox 360 or PS3 models have working drive mechanisms?

Ganz toll fan ich eine aussage von einer Seite dort stand so in etwas das:
Zitat:
Eine Festplatte ist wohl nicht integriert - jedenfalls betonte der Nintendo-Chef nur die integrierten 512 MByte Flash-Speicher, die per SD-Card-Einschub erweiterbar sind. Damit bleibt die Revolution bei der Hardware-Leistung deutlich hinter der PlayStation 3 zurück.
Iss mir auch klar die grösste HD gewinnt.
Es gab noch ein paar mehr aber die find ich net mehr weiss nit warum
Also eine Zeitreise durch die verschiedenen Nintendo Epochen.
