Nope, plans have changed.  Microsoft is now, instead, unveiling Xbox 2 to the public instead of a closed door press event, in an hour long (or maybe half-hour -- i forget) special on Mtv.

I'll have at least two out of three eventually, unless Nintendo somehow manages to pull back into the lead (I highly doubt they will).  So I'll have Nintendo's system cos it's the only place to find Nintendo games and whichever is more appealing between Sony's and Microsoft's offering.

Its hard to pass up a NINTENDO because of there exclusive games , Mario , Zelda etc , but i dont think ill be getting 2 new consoles, ill have to make a very informed choice.

Anybody know who has the rights to Resident Evil this time?

I don't think anybody does, even for Resident Evil 4.  Nintendo's exclusivity was only temporary.  We will see Resident Evil 4 on PS2 later this year -- in December, I think.  Resident Evil 5 hasn't even been announced as in-production yet and it likely isn't in production if the Resident Evil guy felt like taking a break from that franchise to work on some other project after completing that masterpiece.  The Resident Evil team is likely hard at work porting the PS2 version right now.

word is that the new nintendo console's controller will be a touch screen with no buttons... i forget exactly where I read that, but it came from the nintendo president himself...i will go nintendo because of exclusives, you always know nintendo makes good exclusives, and great games come out on it like skies of arcadia remake, re1, mgsremake, ect i dunno...

so far

nintendo is 1 if they dont have the touch screen controller nonsense, that will bomb...

xbox 360 / 2 is out because i am not an mtv extreme sports demographic which is who they try to appeal to

sony is 3, but they hav eshoddy quality so i really am not even considering sony after they dicked me and several others around so many times

m$ thinks we are all extreme!
sony thinks we'll buy anything
nintendo is too gimmicky

this gen will suck

mark my words

the next crash will happen within the next 4 gens...

4 generations???   at an average life of 5 years a generation, that's 20 years.... so you're saying an industry might go through a major change in 20 years?? wow... what a prediction....   I also predict that in 50 years... I'll be older than I am now.

- You've never seen the Nintendo controller, or even know it exists, let alone use one... so how do you know it will bomb?  It might bomb... or it might be an evolutionary step forward

- Sony's product isn't out, so you have no idea what type of quality it will be.  You can use past products as a guide, but overall, failure rates for PS2s were not far from any other systems. Hardware problems arose, and efforts to fix it were made (although I will say it should have been done much better).  Nevertheless, even if they had the worst quality product last gen, you have NO CLUE what the next gen will bring.

Seriously... do you ever have any info at all to back up your outrageous claims?

Stop telling people to mark your words... they are always baseless and juvenile.

I will be sure to file a full report from the E3 show floor! I sure hope all the new consoles are playable and not just shown on video. Have any of the press releases indicated if the games will be playable at E3? Last year it was such a let-down that Halo 2 was not playable (and then an even bigger let down when I DID get to play it).
