Nintendo to Release `Revolution' Game Console in 2006 (Update3)
May 17 (Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co., the world's biggest maker of hand-held game machines, said it will begin selling a new game console, code-named Revolution, in 2006 that may cost less than competing products from Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp.
The device, the successor to GameCube, will be compatible with games written for its predecessor, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said today at a press conference in Los Angeles. Customers will be able to download and play games from past Nintendo systems stretching back 20 years.
``They continue to play toward the younger audience,'' said Rob Enderle, an analyst at San Jose, California-based Enderle Group. ``Their product appears to be quite a bit less expensive'' than the competition.
Nintendo, based in Kyoto, Japan, is seeking to boost its share of the $6.16 billion video-game-console market amid heightening competition from Sony and Microsoft, which have already released details of their new consoles. Nintendo's next console is designed for games and isn't intended to serve as a hub for other gadgets, Reggie Fils-Aime, an executive vice president, said in an interview.
Nintendo also announced the new Game Boy Micro, a handheld game player small enough to fit in pants pockets. The silver metal Game Boy Micro measures 4 inches wide (10.2 centimeters), 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep. It weighs 2.8 ounces (80 grams).
Prices
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo haven't disclosed the price they intend to charge for their new consoles. Microsoft's new Xbox may cost about $400, Sony's may cost about $300 and Nintendo's new console may cost $150 to $200, Enderle said.
``We do not want to go down a path to be at the center of the living room,'' said Fils-Aime, who oversees Nintendo's U.S. sales and marketing. He said the additional options offered in Microsoft and Sony's products will make them more expensive.
Fils-Aime declined to be more specific on when the new Nintendo console will be released or whether it will be available first in Japan.
Enderle said Nintendo is in danger of becoming a niche player in the game industry and that its position may come under pressure from Sony and Microsoft as they seek to expand the range of consumers who play computer games.
``Microsoft and Sony can move into Nintendo's space at their leisure,'' he said.
Sony has sold more than 87 million PlayStations. Microsoft has sold 20 million Xbox players and Nintendo has sold 18 million of its game consoles. Microsoft plans to start selling the Xbox 360 late this year. Sony's PlayStation 3 will debut by June 2006.
Smallest Yet
The Nintendo console will be the company's smallest yet at roughly the ``size of three standard DVD cases,'' Iwata said. The disk bay will be able to run two formats: the 12-centimeter optical disks used for the new system and GameCube, and DVDs with the help of an attachment.
The system will have 512 megabytes of internal flash memory, wireless controllers, two USB 2.0 ports and built-in Wireless Fidelity or Wi-Fi capability for Internet access, Nintendo said.
The new console will be built around a microprocessor from International Business Machines Corp. The new system from Microsoft also has an IBM chip, while Sony will use one developed with IBM and Toshiba Corp.
Nintendo will use a graphics chip from ATI Technologies Inc. that's been code-named Hollywood, the company said.
Square Enix Co. is working on a Wi-Fi enabled version of its ``Final Fantasy'' game series for the Revolution, Iwata said.

불룸버그의 레볼루션에 관한 기사를 보니
에널리스트의 예측으로는 닌텐도의 레볼루션은 150-200불 사이가 되지않을까
보고있다는군요
공개된 스펙으로 보자면 엑박360이 400불, 플레이스테이션 3 가 300불 선의
가격으로 책정될듯 보인다고 합니다
- 아무리 인터넷 상이라도 예의는 지킵시다 서로 알지도 못하는 사람에게
함부로 말하지 말자고요...루리웹 4년째 하는 사람한테 레벨업 하고싶어서
막 글쓴다고 하질안나...
엑박360이 400불, 플레이스테이션 3 가 300불 -.-; 어째서 블루레이 달고 XDR 달고 300 million 트랜지스터의 GPU를 단쪽이 xbox360보다 싸지...?
엑박이 더비싸네??
플스3는 라이센스 더럽게 많이 땄던데 설마..
어디까지나 애널리스트의 예측일 뿐 아닌가요?
닌텐도이니만큼 저가격대!
어제는 엑박이 300불 PS3가 400불선이라고 본거 같은데-_-;;; 그 쪽이 더 현실성이 있어보이구요. 아마도 PS3는 39,800엔 지킬 듯-_-a
오... 가격으로 승부인가...
어디서 어떤글을 읽고 이런 글을 쓰는지 이해가 안감..ㅡ.ㅡ;; 그렇게 레벨을 올리고 싶소...
굉장히 싼 편이네요..
액박이 CJ로 바꾸듯 닌텐도도 좀 바꿔주었으면...
PS3이 300불인데 XB360이 400불이면.. 그럴일은 없다고 보는데.. 그리고 레볼루션도 저렇게 싸게 나올수는 없다고 봅니다 엄연히 차세대 기종인데.. 가격인하도 아니고..
저도 플3 가격이 좀 이상하고, 또 레볼은 상세 스펙이 나오지도 않았는데 뭘 근거로 가격을 책정했는지 모르겠군요.
레볼은 꽤 싸게 나올듯 합니다. 불문율적인 규칙이 3만엔 이하로 발매하는거죠
그런데 스펙상으로 경쟁하려고 한다면 이번 불문율은 깨어질수도 있는거죠
레벨올리고싶어서.. 아무글이나.. 올리고.. 작정을 했군.. 작정을 했서..ㅡ.ㅡ
zZSweetDooZz//원문 주소 부탁드립니다.... -_-
가격은 회사측에서 결정하므로 아무리 이러쿵 저러쿵해도 뼈도박도 못하지않을까하는
스펙상으로는 플스3가 제일 비싸고 그다음 엑박, 레볼 순이 되는게 정상일듯
CYAN//닌텐도는 한국시장에 진출관련해서 말한적이 나중에 커지면 생각해본다..정도입니다. 그동안 한국내에서 행해진건 대원이 닌텐도에게 접근해서 물건달래서 거래한것뿐이지 한국유저나 시장에 대해서 관심가져준게 아니죠. 애초에 한국시장에 물건을 직접파는건 생각조차 안하는얘들이 문제소리를 듣는지
오~이게끝? 싸싸싸
레볼 스펙은 공개 되지도 않았는데 내사랑마리오님은 어떤 근거로 비교하셨는지 궁금하네요.
원래 닌텐도쪽의 불문율이 하드 가격은 3만엔을 넘지 않는겁니다. 발매후에 점차적으로 가격 인하하는것도 그렇구요.
플스3는 엑박360보다는 스펙이 좋고 소니에서 거실의 중심기기로 놓으려고 매체 라이센스도 엄청 따고 밀어붙이고 있는 만큼 더 비싸지 않을까요
역시 닌텐도
쟤내들은 게임기가격을 장난감스럽게 한다는데... 그냥 몸소 실천해 보이네
150불이라니-.- 닌텐도도 이번엔 정말 뭐가 일낼듯하네요.
아직 레볼 스펙이 공개가 안됬는데 어찌 이렇게 판단하시는 분이 많을까..
단지 예측아닙니까 그냥 그럴수도 있겠다 식으로 넘기는게 맞는말같네요 ^^ 가격을 정하는건 콘솔제작회사들이니..
150불에 나오면 스펙이 어쩌구 저쩌구 다 필요없고 무조건 get!
물론 닌텐도도 문제지만....우리나라 다른 업체에서 닌텐도에 그만큼 투자를 한다면 닌텐도가 한국에 투자를 안할까요?? 대원이 소극적인 닌텐도에 수동적으로 받아 들이기만 하고 적극적인 마케팅 을 하지 않는 대원이 문제가 더 크다고 봅니다!! 그리고 항상 大구라 치는 모습은..ㅡ.ㅡ;정말 꼴도 보기 싫습니다!!
가격은 상당히 싸네요
CYAN// 뭐 닌텐도야 '기업'으로서 당연한 일이죠-_-a 이익이 안나는 시장에 들어오지 않는 건 당연한겁니다. 얼마 전 대원기사 중에 한글화 계획은? 하니까 '게임은 만국 공통어'라던데-_-;;; DS는 한글화하겠다던 말은 없었던 일이 된 모양이더군요. 대원도 기다려주면 뭔가 나아질줄 알았지만 전혀-_-a 닌텐도도 문제지만 대원도 문제가 있습니다-_-a 분명.
흠^^
150불..ㅡ.ㅡ;;;;할말이없네;;
헉 싸당..
