"Nintendo's President, Satoru Iwata finally made his appearance, and began talking about how the DS was "different" than anything else on the market today. He explained that with how consoles are now, what systems can do with graphics now have pretty much reached their limit. Unless someone does something different, there won't be any hope for growth in the industry. This is when he touched upon Nintendo's next console. It's in development as we speak, claims Iwata. Much like the Nintendo DS, he promises that the new home console will also be "different;" so much so, that Nintendo is promising a "gaming revolution" whenever the system is finally launched. Iwata then asked if the audience wanted to know the technical specifications of the thing, but he stopped himself, stating that, since all hardware is insanely powerful as it is, the specs don't matter. "The time for horsepower is over," the president said."

That paragraph right there perfectly sums up why I love Nintendo They are a video game company. Period. Their only goal is to make the best, most fun games possible. They are not worried about graphics or online gaming or DVD playback. They don't care if you want to download music or surf the web. They only want to make the best games. Great games are clearly on every console, but only one manufacturer is actually making a system that will push the industry forward in ways more powerful graphics will never be able to. Thank you Nintendo.
