This is painful to watch. A PSP user has taken a video showing that, if you start up Smackdown vs. Raw for the PSP, it takes over one minute to get to the main menu, and almost six and a half to actually get to the gameplay if you start a new season in Season Mode -- and that includes skipping the movies and making the menu selections in a reasonable amount of time.

That is pure insanity. What's the point of the game being portable if you have to wait even longer to actually play it (versus the console version)? Besides the actual games, this has to be the number one reason why the DS is simply a better portable system.

Don't forget the rut the PSP hit a few months before the holidays, Few good games came out during those months. The DS really took advantage of that over the holiday season, With it's lower price and a number of good titles.

Very true, Chibi_Zero. It's almost like the flipside of the Playstation vs N64, with Nintendo on top again.

Good job, Nintendo! Once again you obliterate mass-market appeal by fucking up in a purely minor, superficial way!

Odd that's it's still revolution.nintendo.com...

I dunno though, it's hard to see the older crowd clamoring for a "Wii". The "Revolution" name seemed like the perfect counter to Sony and Microsoft's progressive properties. You might as well call it the "Gamecube 2" at this point...

Give it time, they'll make it a re-direct any day now.
As the updated Flash says:

Introducing "Wii".
As in "we".
While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
*yadda, yadda, yadda*

Nintendo seems to be trying to appeal mostly to its home market rather than the US and European markets. The name, the nunchuck, the style... Everything seems targeted at an audience that isn't into Madden and Halo. Nnot that that's a bad thing from a quality point of view, but from a take-down-sony-and-microsoft-in-the-USA-view...

E3 2006: PS3 Too Cheap -- Kutaragi
SCE boss has been talking again.
by Anoop Gantayat

May 9, 2006 - Krazy Ken's at it again. Following the surprise pre-E3 announcement of the PlayStation 3 price, Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi spoke with Japan's IT Media and offered up this beauty: "It's probably too cheap."

In case you skipped out on Monday's press conference, here's the deal. In addition to showing a slew of game demonstrations, Sony Computer Entertainment's Kaz Hirai announced launch specifics for the system. PS3 will go on sale first in Japan on 11/11 at a price of 59,800 yen for a 20GB model, with a 60GB model set at open pricing. The US will get the system on 11/17 with cost set at, respectively, $499 and $599.

Kutaragi explained to IT Media why be believes the price isn't a problem:

"This is the PS3 price. Expensive, cheap -- we don't want you to think of it in terms of game machines. Because the PS3 is like nothing else.

For instance, is it not nonsense to compare the charge for dinner at the company cafeteria with dinner at a fine restaurant? It's a question of what you can do with that game machine. If you can have an amazing experience, we believe price is not a problem.

When we announced the PlayStation price, it was said to be expensive. Same for the PlayStation 2. However, when released, both had sales that were unthinkable for previous game machines. This is because both offered experiences that could not be had on previous game machines.

With the PS3, you can have next generation game experiences that could previously not be experienced -- things like next generation graphics and various services via the network. And, as with the PS and PS2, we believe people who like games will, without question, purchase it."


Kutaragi also took the time to comment on Sony's shipping targets for the system. SCE plans to have two million units available at launch (the Japanese press reports this as the initial shipment figure for the system, and not a number that will be gradually released over a launch window), with another two million by the end of the year and two million more before the end of March 2007. Regarding this, Kutaragi said, "Of course, this is a number that we announced having made sure we can definitely prepare it. There is the possibility of unexpected problems like earthquake or theft, so I won't say it's absolute, but if this type of trouble does not occur, there's no problem with this number."
