Ironisk nok vil Nintendos neste maskin få tilnavnet Revolution, og det er ikke bare tilfeldig. Übersjefen i Nintendo Satoru Iwata fortalte nemlig et et intervju med Kyoto Journal at de regner med et paradigmeskifte i hele spillbransjen:
"The keyword for the DS was 'innovative product,' but it will be 'paradigm shift in [game] play' with the Revolution. The concept behind our new console, tentatively named 'Revolution,' is the same as the DS. We want it to broaden the [video gaming] audience range, and we don't want it to be something that people will see as too irrelevant to them, too difficult to use, or as something that wastes space. We'll announce specific details at the E3 ... It will most likely come out between this year [and] next year, which is considered to be the transition period for home consoles."
Han fortsatte med å fortelle litt om markedsandeler, og forholdet til PSP:
"Similar to the relationship that the DS has with the PSP, we won't fight over the same share of the pie with another company. We have no intention of fighting over shares of the market in a way that will shrink it. For us, success will depend on whether we can call back people that have stopped playing games, and whether we can also bring in a new base of customers. That way, our share [of the market] will increase since the market will grow bigger."
Iwata hadde også et par kommentarer til en enorme grafiske utviklingen vi har vært vitne til de siste årene:
"In the past, the video game industry grew on high-quality graphics and data volume. We decided to move into a different direction, since we believe that those days have ended. But by watching the PSP, we see that there are also people that have different thoughts from us. But it's up to the consumers to make the judgment, and it'll also be good if we can expand the market size by bringing out our best points."
Maskinen vil heller ikke ta i bruk noen vanlig håndkontroll, men noe helt nytt. Det blir spennende å se hva vi styrer Link med om noen år!
