According to Nintendo’s Jim Merrick, Nintendo’s forthcoming Revolution system will, in fact, boast graphics on par with Xbox 360 and PS3. What this will mean overall for the industry and the market is still unknown, of course, but what it does do is further solidify Nintendo’s position in the next generation as a complete wildcard (which almost sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it?). Fanboys on the Xbox 360 and PS3 sides of the table have continued to bandy about a previously unsubstantiated rumor that Revolution would “only be 2-3 times the power of the Gamecube”, for months, effectively removing it from the competition (at least in their minds), but this new development throws that entire premise completely out the window.
