Wow another imitation of GameCube.
But considering that only Japanese manufacturers can handle a big eDRAM it's not that surprising. It'll be interesting to see if NEC can yield enough chips for both MS and Nintendo.

So that's why Nintendo aren't saying anything regarding Revolution? So Sega, Microsoft, Nintendo are cooking up Xbox 360 as a "Revolution"ary system to take down Sony.
