Nintendo's Revolution has been rumoured to be making an appearance for a while. Yesterday Sony announced the PS3 would be available in playable form at the convention, and Microsoft was soon to follow regarding the Xbox Next.

I'm pretty sure the PS3 will be on show at least, and I wouldn't be suprised to hear some talk about X-Box Next or maybe even a presentation, but this is the first I've heard at all about Nintendo's new system.
Hopefully this news proves accurate. :D

I am indeed shocked.
Where do you hear such things? All I've head about the Revolution is the following:

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Apparently the same person that leaked information about Nintendo's portable handheld the DS, has also leaked information about the big N's next generation console.
# That Nintendo is building gyroscopes into the controllers, presumably to add some sort of motion-control aspect to games.
# The console will have dual processors and built-in broadband (we’re assuming Ethernet, but maybe also WiFi?).
# There are no plans to connect the DS to the Revolution, but there could be some integration with the Game Boy Evolution.
# The Revolution will have four controller ports, a hard drive, and support for high-resolution displays and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound.
# The console will be backwards-compatibility with GameCube games, and in what would only be a swipe at Sony, its drive will use HD-DVD, rather than Blu-ray, discs.
# The console will launch with a new Mario game (of course), and there is a new Zelda game in the works.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Of course, even this is probably just speculation (though relatively sane compared to alot of rumors out there).
EDIT: Accidentally said DS instead of revolution.
That post is so terrible i want to report it.
No XBox, how dare thee. The XBox beats the PS2 and Nintendo's latest craptastic console contraption into the ground. Even if the the PS2 or Cube came with flaming ninjas riding a polaris missile chasing a pirate it still wouldn't even come close to matching the XBox's awesomeness

He speaks the truth X-BRICK = cheapo crapo PC for idiots
I hear they make good armour plating though... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Xbox isn't popular at all where I live... I've <b>never</b> seen one here - but PS2's are everywhere (and I've seen quite a few NDS and PSP units as well)
This is the X-Box Next <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> bigger and more pwnsome than the first <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Don't let it fall on your head! (for those of you dumb enough to beleive this... or that I beleive it... go to hell)
caboose, i like how there is one eject button for 2 disc trays.
That is not the real xbox 2....the case isnt even finished yet, and it is not nearly that big.
Or not... you know, since Microsoft owns Bungie (the developer of halo).
Except Ninja Gaiden. Which is an X-Box exclusive.
Now stop turning my thread into a <a href='http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2001-02-12&res=l' target='_blank'>console debate</a>.
I get to take <i>1</i> console into my dorm room, it damn well better play a lot of games. A backward compatible GameCube would allow be to buy RE1-4 and Eternal Darkness, and a backward compatible Xbox would just allow me to continue my Xbox collection.
[Although, from what I've seen/heard Xbox 2/Next/Don't-Drop-It-On-Anyone/Whatever might not have a HDD or backward compatiblity...and if they think I'm shelling out for a memory card they can kiss my $150-400 goodbye <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ]
...and a PS3 would just be a nice dust collector; just like my PS2 was (oh, oh, and my N64 - except for Mario and GoldenEye (too bad I sold it before Perfect Dark and Conker))...
but yeah. I hope some new fun gismos and gadgets are underway.
and it doesn't matter if Nitendos next 20 platforms crash because nitendo makes enough off of its gameboys that it could care less
Microsoft doesn't need another couple of million dollars cuz they already have teh corner on the market on OS systems cuz people are too stupid to use anything better then windows
and Playstation is good stuff and I really enjoy it.
please, if you're going to say things like that get it right. Saturn was the dual-cpu system. And not a bad system i might add. I still occaisionally play my saturn. Daytona USA, Virtua Cop, Sonic R.. c'mon. great games.
But you're right. that's one of the reasons it' feel into the abyss.

I thought it was because they released it right after the Sega CD and the Sega 32X, leaving almost no time between systems.
Or something.
No he got it right, there is only supposed to be one.
What you don't seem to realize is that the eject button is so that you can eject yourself out of the cockpit that comes with the console, and into your nearest Electronics Boutique so you can return the damn silly thing and buy yourself something else.
Anyway, I'd rather the D-Pad stay, since navigating through menus is so clumsy with an analog.
Amen to that brother. All the exclusivities and the ladies will flock to you like mice to cheddar <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.
Can we stop with the hating on random consoles, or consoles all together? Each has SOME great games that are exclusive to it and it's own pros and cons. Want great online play? Xbox. Want a giant library of games? Ps2. Want uncreative rehashes of old games? Gamecube. (haha I joke I joke I love the cube).
Same, it'll take me time to accumulate them, but i'll have them all.
But from an unbiased opinion**, the PS2 does suck monkey balls and my Xbox and GC would visciously beat it and rape it down a dark alley and run away giggling.

thats funny, because the ps2 was complicated to code for, and im playing the best online console game right now (socom2)
