The Registerreports that Nintendo will make an announcement ahead of the next E3 games conference on May 9, 2006 about its next games system called Nintendo Revolution.
Nintendo will announce its next-generation games console, Revolution, next May, the company has revealed.
The full disclosure will take place just ahead of the E3 games industry bash in Los Angeles, where Nintendo this year gave a glimpse of Revolution's design but provided few hard details.
In September, Nintendo unveiled the movement-tracking controller the console will ship with.
With the Xbox 360 now on sale in the US, and coming to Europe this coming Friday - the Japanese debut will take place later this month - attention is turning to rival products from Sony and Nintendo.
Nintendo will need the new system because vnunet.com says the company recently reported a 51% drop in operating income. Revolution is likely to come out after the Sony releases there next version of the PlayStation in 2006. Revolution will likely be the last system to be upgraded but there may be hope for them yet with stories like this IGN article that offers ten reasons why "you should skip Microsoft's 360 and wait for the real gaming revolution."
