Really don't care for tests, unless I can use the Teachers Edition.

So how close am I on my hardware guess?

Interesting observation.   Although I'd say the same thing if you said the similarity is that dolphin will use cartridges :-)  A lot of interesting ideas were touched upon.  save the e-mails or something. you can compare notes when Nintendo finally reveals full specs.  Some gloating MIGHT be required from on of you :-)

But what works in home consoles don't neccessarily work with handhelds. So we can say they are different markets in that respect. The handheld sector is only 10 years old, and it will need a little more maturing, something i'm sure is on the way as the GBC is challenged in the future by other machines.

Matsushita is Sony's Archrival, Matsuhita makes DVD movie players. Given those three facts, likelihood of a movie capable Dolphin is high, but it will most likely appear later. Dolphin's game only model is shaping up to be a cost effective machine and I'm sure Nintendo is eager to lower game console prices now that powerful computers are reaching the sub 1,000 level. One factor that can weigh heavily on the final decision on whether DVD movie capabilities would infact be used for gaming is the direction of the market. As we all know, Sony isn't jumping in with a Movie ready console either. The markets for both are inherently different and selling a console as a multi purpose machine might not be the best idea from a mass market standpoint as it confuses the consumers, alienates gamers and puts a strain on the marketing efforts. > Are their any rumors that DVD playback will be a later > feature? Apparently yes. The current favourite is that Matsuhita will release a different model of Dolphin under the panasonic or perhaps even the Nintendo brand but with movies and other frills added on for the non gamers, while the original bare bones unit is used to go after the gaming community. Sony apparently is now doing something similar with Merril Lynch's report that the PS2 will first arrive as a game only machine. > I can understand leaving it out initally because of cost. IMO, to > develop this high end machine, but not put some of it's abilites to use > would be a shame, but I could live with it. There were many ideas floating around the industry at the start of the 16-bit era, and this generation. not all came to frutation. So we should take some of these 'guesses' with a grain of salt.
