The Future of Nintendo....A Tragedy in the Making?
I was sort of wondering, how long until Nintendo releases a new system? They have been having some bad luck, technology-wise, and I don't think that if they did make a new system, that it would sell at all.
They have almost been dropped from the modern console gaming scene.
Will Nintendo be lost into the past as the future reveals new, more powerful gaming systems such as the X-Box 360 and the soon-to-be released Playstation 3?
Or will they turn to portable gaming systems and try to rival the Game boy advanced DS or the newer PSP?
Does anyone have any pictures, articles (quote please) or comments on this subject? Any info would be awesome and would contribute to this thread.

NEW INFO
-The controler on the Nintendo Revolution will be motion sensitive and will allow you to move it and the system will respond based on the game.
-The controller will be one handed

While the flurry of Revolution news and features just seems to keep on coming, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata made sure to emphasize to gamers that there are a bunch of new features that will be revealed at this year's E3. While there have been a number of surprises in the last year - the remote-style controller, the Virtual Console feature, etc. - Iwata assures us that there are still a number of things about the Revolution that aren't known to the public yet.
"Our primary focus with the Nintendo Revolution has been to create a system that can do things that the other systems can't, that has functionality that the other systems don't have," Iwata said. "And speaking to that, there are some other unique features of the Nintendo Revolution hardware that we haven't discussed yet that we will be announcing at E3."
Reiterating the fact that Nintendo is attempting to create a revolutionary new kind of video game console designed to appeal to both current gamers and people who have never played a video game before, Iwata continued, "Up until now, we've seen when there's a video game console in the home, there's people who play the video game console, but then there's a distinct wall. There's [sic] people in the house that don't play video games whatsoever. And when people see what we have to offer at E3, they're going to understand that that wall's been broken down and we now have created a system that's going to allow for a much, much larger user base than any system we've seen before."
What we do know about the Revolution thus far is nothing short of, well, revolutionary. While the raw horsepower of the new system pales in comparison to Microsoft's Xbox 360 or Sony's Playstation 3, Nintendo is making sure to include enough unique features to carve its own niche away from its competitors. The controller, styled like a remote and designed to be used with one hand, is motion-sensitive. For example, if you were playing a game with a sword fighter in it, you could swing the remote like a sword in order to get your character to swing his sword. The other unique Revolution feature is the Virtual Console, an online area where users can download and play games from a library of legacy releases, including NES, SNES, N64, and Sega Genesis games. With more features promised for E3, keep your eyes on Nintendo to see just what they have in store.
