I wish it had HDTV support, but being that the cost will be much lower than the 360 or the Sony Ps3, I think it will sell well, even with its short comings.   I really am hopeing for a Mario 64 type game, I really didnt like Mario Sunshine and it upsets me they havent made a Mario game that is as good as Mario 64.  Its been way way to long.

The only game I like on the system is DoA 4. Also, I know that there are a lot of gamers that may have been huge gamers in this past generation, but are bored with the next-gen. I know someone who reads ALL the gaming news sites, subscribes to IGN, EGM, and several other magaizines, owns all three systems, owns all three handhelds, and is totally obsessed with gaming, but he, as well, is just not interested in the Xbox 360, right now. It's just the same thing, with better graphics.<br><br><br>Most certainly there are many gamers who, for some reason or another, are entirely satisfied with better graphics. At the same time, however, there are also many gamers who want something new. Like with the movie industry, they're tired of sequels with more explosions.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 2:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not bad.

It was the biggest possible hype ever, yet, I play these games (on a 60 inch HD TV) and wonder where the big games are.  XBox comes out of the bag and I mostly have bad, recycled sports games at my disposal (I choose not to mention most of the other games as they are not worth mentioning.)  Yes CoD is a good game, but when I bought my "Next Gen" console, I was expecting a Next Gen experience.

Sadly he had absolutely no plans to reveal anything interesting... all PR speak - they have the best platforms, franchises, and fans. Xbox 360 underwhelmed him. No dates have been anounced on anything. Yadda yadda. <br><br>No support for HD is going to be a problem for them... given the several year life span of these consoles, a good percentage of the market will be HD. If they market to young kids it may not matter, but any teenager and older will know the system won't have the same visual ummf of a PS3 or 360.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave Zatz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 2:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA["Microsoft is essentially trying to get you to put a PC in your living room because they are fundamentally a PC software company.

I'll probably own all 3 which has always been the case in the past(thank you mommy :)) but graphics can only take a game so far. High AA and AF and soft shadows don't make a game fun and gaming needs a change of pase. I remember playing doom 1 on pc and it still has a very similar feel than todays fps just doesn't look as nice. Point is I, and I'm sure others, are ready for something new when it comes to gaming. Having been a gamer since I was 3 and playing them now for the last 16 years I'm ready for something to knock my socks off and I hope nintendo does it. I like how he explained Nintendos approach to the next gen consoles and it gives me faith that they will be able to develop a unique gaming experience for those of us that really want it even though it may not be as pretty as the 360 or PS3.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 2:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[You  should have asked him how Nintedo will be implmenting Revolution kiosks in stores, because the controller can't stay glued in place like it can for the other consoles.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Will]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 2:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[Response to number 4: Speak for yourself.

Now lets do the math here. The NES was launched in 1985. It's 2006. Did anyone really think that Rev, a system with 21 YEARS of backwards compatible standard definition games, was going to launch in high definition? Please. That would be retarded. It makes perfect sense why they didn't go HD. And in the process they save us some cash too.<br><br>My two cents Reggie: Call up all the old competition. Get all the old games from all the old platforms. Lock up the downloadable game marketplace fast, before Microsoft or Sony does. Become the iTunes of the video game world. And for God's sake, charge by the game. None of this month to month nonsense. If I want Zelda 2, I'm gonna drop some cash for it, and that's that.<br><br>And if you're still reading... why has the gamecube not gone portable yet? Those small discs? Think about it. You could do the same backwards compatibility as the revolution in a portable, just one generation behind. The whole wi-fi back library in the palm of your hand. It could be the iPod of the video game world.<br><br>And finally, you sure as heck better get your handheld library available for download on BOTH the DS / Next gameboy AND the Revolution.<br><br>Nintendo. All the games. Anytime. Anywhere. <br><br>-Blake<br><a href="http://www.filmman.com">http://www.filmman.com</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blake Harjes]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 2:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, I wasn't underwhelmed by my 360 when I got it. I thought it was great. As a matter of fact, I'm really enjoying playing Condemned right now on it. Anyone who owns a 360 and not this game is doing themselves a disservice AND you don't need an HDTV to enjoy (I've played it with both setups).<br><br>I think the lack of innovation comes from developers not hardware manufacturers. Nintendo happens to be both a hardware and software manufacturer so it may be easy for him to confuse the two. If people would invest in those companies creating and attempting to innovate the gaming industry, things would get better. As it stands now, people don't want that and keep buying Madden over and over and over again.<br><br>I agree with his comment about M$ and $ony's attempts to make you buy more of their stuff.

Nintendo has gotten nearly every major market turn of the last ten years wrong. <br><br>They stuck with cartridges when everyone went with CDs. They went with a propietary 1.5Gb format when everyone went with DVD. They pooh-poohed DVD playback, hardrives, online play,  HD-functionality, and totally missed the boat on EyeToy, DDR, Guitar Hero-style innovation. Oh, and don't even get me started on their failure to embrace Americans' and Euros' love of free-roaming, realistic third-person shooters.<br><br>Perhaps their greatest crime is consistently saying that American gamers crave simplicity while they have given us arguably the most Byzantine interface ever devised: GCN-GBA Connectivity. Argh!!!!<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Egyptian Superhero]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 2:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA["I don't get why fils-Aime said "Our philosophy is that consumers want great gaming experiences and our passion is delivering great gaming experiences".

For those of you who haven't bought a 360 yet...wait.  Wait for a worthwhile game to come along before buying a 360.  I should've taken a wait and see approach with the 360.  Right now I enjoy playing my GBA and PS2 games more than anything else.  The Xbox 360 just sits there collecting dust.

I've played CoD2 at a friends house, and am on NFS:MW currently. Seriously, I am regretting trading in my Xbox for store credit. So many good games are coming out on Xbox and are NOT supported for the Xbox 360 (or atleast, not currently). I also traded in my PS2 2 years ago to get an Xbox, which was fine at the time, but now a ton of games have come out for that.<br><br>Basically, what I'm trying to say is that the Xbox 360 is a fine gaming platform, but they (Microsoft) pushed it too quickly. The games at release are not great. I'm tired of Racing games and there isn't even an RPG on the console yet (waiting for Oblivion!). If it offered true Xbox compatability, it would have been great. Alas , it does not. Their "backwards compatability" list has not been updated except to support a few Tom Clancy games. No new games have been supported. Why? Microsoft doesn't care about that. They are so focused on the Xbox 360 now. I wish I had the cash to go buy a PS2 right now, there are so many gaming experiences on that :(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MarioC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 3:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA["is it just me or does this guy Reggie look like a neanderthal?"<br><br>I thought he looked like the Creapy Thin Man from Charlie's Angels.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bigg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 4:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't care if it's the most innovative machine ever, if Madden plays in 480p on the Revolution and in 1080p on the PS3, the average person just won't buy a Revolution.<br><br>Madden is the top selling game every year, and there are millions who will make their console decision solely based on that one game.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 4:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a great interview.

The assumption is that the PS3 and Revolution will be any different?  There is no "hot content" available for any of the systems, and likely it will come first to the 360.  The PS3 and Revolution will follow suit in respective time after their launches.<br><br>Before I continue, I will say that I am planning on getting a Revolution at launch.  I have high hopes for the backcatalog and the new controller.  But we cannot assume it will work out to our expectations in the end.  As far as the PS3 goes, I will put off purchasing that as long as possible.  It just sounds to be another Sony over-priced proprietary mess.<br><br>Anyway, none of the consoles really matter that much.  What we are missing is a slew of new, interesting, and involving games.  Whether a game is on the 360, Revolution, or the PS3, it doesn't matter as long as long as it is captivating.  <br><br>I bought a PS2 for Final Fantasy, a Gamecube and DS for Metroid Prime, and an Xbox for Halo 2 and Ninja Gaiden.  My point there is that games drove me to buy the consoles, not the systems themselves.  We need to see more of that.  It seems to me that the Nintendo DS is the only gaming system providing anything close at the moment.<br><br>These companies can say whatever they want about their hardware and/or innovation, but if the content doesn't drive the system, then power and/or innovation doesn't mean squat.  Ask Sega.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SuicideNinja]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 4:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[Look, we already know they won't be doing "HD", but will some interviewer please please ask if they are at least supporting 480p.  <br><br>Its hard for me to understand where the industry gets the low adoption of HD statistic.  I would say 80% of the people I know have HD or use a computer monitor capable of 720p or higher for gaming.  Lets face it, on a 720p LCD/Plasma, games that are in standard definition 480i look like shit.  Progressive scan helps, but the pixelation is really glaring unless the characters are taking up most of the screen.  With PC games, I can run them at 640x480 and then switch up to 1280x768 and the difference is absolutely amazing on games that DO NOT HAVE SUPPOSED "HD" textures.  The higher geometry is a big win.  I look at consoles from the last several years, DC, PS2, Cube, and Xbox, and I know that they could look so much better if their resolution was increased.  It pained me at times to play through Dragon Quest VIII (480i) on my $1500.00 1080p screen because I know how much nicer it would look if the resolution was doubled.  Those of you who have played with emulators for next gen consoles know what I'm talking about.  Halo on the Xbox360 is another easy example.  <br><br>Sure, graphics aren't everything and I will continue to play my SNES, Genesis, and Dreamcast possibly more than my PS2.  I'd rather play low res 2D games than low res 3D games (psx anyone?) any day of the week.  I will also buy a Revolution, but failing to take advantage of higher resolution and scaling up gamecube games, will make me very said.  In fact it will drive me to enhance games through emulation to get the most out of them.  I guess I'm just a snob thats not in Reggies target demographic.  Time to go out and buy an old 32" SDTV with MAD INTERLACING SKILLZ!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[neohx7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 4:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA["Madden is the top selling game every year, and there are millions who will make their console decision solely based on that one game."<br><br><br>ignorance is bliss...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jimmy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 5:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/20/the-engadget-interview-reggie-fils-aime-executive-vice-preside/</guid><description><![CDATA[There will be a lot more households with HD TVs in the future, but during the life-span of the 3 new consoles   there will still be more normal TV sets than HD ones.<br>My point being, the majority will have low definition TVs and not be able to see HD contents.<br>On normal TVs Revolution games will look as good as XBox 360 and PS3 games.
