All the public info, and some speculation, about the Nintendo Revolution games console.

Imagine that you are one of the major video console manufacturers in the world. Everyone in the industry is selling approximately the same thing — a console containing the processor along with a two-handed game controller. If you are in last place, what are you going to do to stand out?

One way to create a splash would be to totally blow out the amount of processor and graphics firepower. The problem is that both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 have already staked out the high ground here. They have bleeding-edge multi-core chips.

So Nintendo took a different and far riskier path. First, it chose the codename “Revolution” for its new game console. Then the company set a big goal — to dramatically improve the interface for video games. With this strategy, Nintendo built an amazing amount of hype around its innovative controller for the Revolution.

In this article, we’ll take a close look at Nintendo’s new console and interface. We’ll also learn what makes the Revolution so incredibly different from other next-generation consoles and discuss some of the rumors and speculation about this prototype.
