The black console (other optional colors are in the works) can fit snugly in a gray stand, where it is pitched upward at a slight angle for vertical positioning, or it can be removed and laid flat (looking eerily similar to Apple's Powerbook batteries).
Eschewing the company's previous business ideas, the Revolution will be online-friendly and will support a broadband gaming service similar to that of Microsoft's Xbox Live. Its most significant contribution to online gaming will be the ability to download Nintendo's entire catalog of NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 console games. As for GameCube titles, they have the potential to be downloadable, though it's not clear whether the games will be saved to storage devices or memory cards.
Revolution's enigmatic controllers were not revealed, but they will be wireless. Rumors have been flying that the controllers will be unlike any before, possibly losing buttons in favor of touch screens or incorporating some sort of gyroscopic functions.

You'll be able to download 20 years worth of gaming history from nintendo off their WiFi system with the price(if any)of the downloads unknown. Sounds very impressive

Word out that it will cost around $300-$400.

Both will be close in price. Still think it would be funny if nintendo blew them both outta the water. Hey...it could happen.

I'd still get a 360 tho.

On a side note...I think M$ might be adding some more things. Just a gut feeling. Still have time left.
