Nintendo Co., which dominates the portable video-game machine market, said Wednesday it is developing a new home game console code-named "Revolution" in an apparent attempt to catch up with rival Sony Corp. (SNE), which makes the PlayStation 2 console.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata refused to give details, saying he feared competitors will steal the plan, but said a prototype, which will be shown next year, will deliver "new ideas" for entertainment and won't be merely a more powerful version of its current Game Cube machine.

    It's about time Nintendo stepped up to take on the big boys. Hopefully more grown up games will come along with it. They also need to get away from milking your money with adapters and required extras required to play a game. I mean you need four frickin GBAs to play Zelda: Four Swords; one for each person. That is just taking things a little to far.

    Do you know how many more sales there are of the GBA than the GC? It doesn't matter. No one would pick up the game if they don't have the accessories to play it. :rant:
