Reggie Speaks About Revolution Release and DS Connectability

Reggie Fils-Aime, the VP of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America, says that the Revolution (N5) will launch based on the Sony timeframe rather than the Microsoft one. Microsoft has been rushing to get thier new system out and Nintendo sees this as a mistake. This is not the first time a high Nitendo executive has commented on Microsoft's rush to get to the next line of systems

"Our focus is this: we will bring Revolution to the marketplace roughly at the same time as the competition," Fils-Aime told US website IGN. "We are driving our timetables based on what we believe Sony will do.

Reggie also went on to comment that the DS could possibly link up to the Gamecube and will most definately boast link ups with the upcoming Revolution.

"Could there be interactivity with GameCube?" he said. "Potentially. Depends on the software and accessories needed from a GameCube perspective. But it's certainly possible. Could there be interaction with the Revolution? Certainly possible. Certainly capable."
