Nintendo Revolution to lag behind Xbox 360 and PS3

Nintendo's new home console, 'Revolution', has been revealed at the E3 games expo in Los Angeles, but officials have suggested that the first opportunity to try out the machine will be at next year's show.

Nintendo has revealed few details about the Revolution, although rival companies, Sony and Microsoft, have provided detailed technical information about their new consoles. Both include powerful processors and advanced graphics and display capabilities.

The specification released so far, for Nintendo's Revolution, is that it will include a new processor from IBM, codenamed Broadway, and a graphics chip from ATI. It will be able to play DVDs, have built-in wi-fi, an SD memory card slot, and 512Mb of flash memory. There have been no technical demonstrations of the technology, or any trailers of games.

Although Nintendo is placed behind Microsoft and Sony, according to the number of consoles sold, Jim Merrick, the company's European Marketing Director, pointed out that whereas Microsoft may have sold more consoles, this was at a loss, while Nintendo was making a profit.

Microsoft is planning to release its Xbox 360 worldwide before Christmas and Sony is planning to release its PlayStation 3 in the spring of 2006. The Revolution is expected to be released in 2006, but it is not know when during the year this will happen.
