GamesIndustry.biz - Comment: Games, not specifications, will win the next-gen battle

in Random Bytes

GamesIndustry.biz : “Nintendo dropped yet another bombshell this week - the fact that it may never officially release the specifications for the Revolution next-generation console. This doesn't mean that we'll never know what's in the box. Developers will find out, developers will tell the media, and eventually the information will be there for anyone who wants to know. But there will probably be no fanfare, no graphs showing how much more powerful than your Xbox 360, your PS3, your GameCube, your toaster or your flush toilet the Revolution is. Why not? Because as far as Nintendo is concerned, it isn't important, and you shouldn't care.”

Bravo. Its all about value, the problems being solved, the benefits that I can look forward to. Its never about the technology. Too few companies get this.

Stop selling me gizmos and start solving my problems.
