Nintendo have always had better quality regarding gameplay than the others, but the competition use that as an advantage rather than a disadvantage. Stringent quality control is a time burner, meaning slow release of titles. Sony took the view with PS1 'lets let anyone release titles on this, flood the market with choice". It works too; the magazines and the net sort the wheat from the chaff of PS games and you walk into a gamestore and see PS games EVERYWHERE. Also, don't beat the xbox up too badly, version 2 is closer to your Mac than any other console will be, twin dual cpu G5's are the dev tool for this console. Also, over here in the UK the Xbox pushed the Nintendo system so quickly into third place in market share that the Uk's biggest supplier of consumer electronics to the public phoned Nintendo up and politely told them they were not going to sell their stuff anymore. That sent shockwaves around the game industry I can tell you.
Bah, NVidia owns ATi
And you're wrong. The XBox 2 has dual G5's...but the OS is just a PPC recompiled version of Windows NT, running DirectX.
The Nintendo Revolution is also G5 based, and I doubt it's running DirectX, so it's probably much closer to a Mac.
