Ok, not so surprising news right? we all knew Nintendo Revolution would likely be last in terms of horsepower but Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata confirmed it a few days ago when he was interviewed at g4.

“”If you are just going to compare the spec sheets and spec numbers, Revolution may not have an equal or higher number as the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. But the fact of the matter is that if people are going to connect our machine and their machine to an ordinary TV set at home and try to compare the differences, I really don’t think that they can tell such a huge difference between the machines.”

This means that if you connect and compare the revoltion with one of the other consoles to a regular tv the graphics will look pretty much the same. The problem will come when people starts to get HD tv´s, then the difference will be easy to notice.

I think we´ll be seeing the consoles really going different ways in the next generation. Sony is going for more graphic power, Microsoft is betting for online gaming and Nintendo will keep being the most innovative company. Maybe we won´t even have a “console war” as we were all expecting.

In case you didn´t catch the full keynote speech, here´s a dubbed version of it. The full 47 minutes right from Mr Iwata´s keynote, he talks about the industry, the games and of course: the revolution controller.

Some time ago, we mentioned Nintendo will not be attending this year´s TGS, however, Nintendo´s president, Satoru Iwata will be participating with a 50 minute speech on September 16th.

This will be the second time Iwata participates at the Toky Game show and everyone is getting their hopes up.

Is this the big announcement when everything about the revolution will be revealed? I don´t think so but i hope i´m wrong.
