This article was taken from Nintelligent.net:

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has announced that the company is planning a simultaneous global release for its next-gen system, the Revolution. Nintendo's DS system also had an odd release, launching in the U.S. before its home country of Japan. The Revolution will not be until at least the next fiscal year, which begins in May 2006.

Iwata goes on to say that the Revolution will be a "complete failure" if it does not sell better than the GameCube, which is to date about 18.76 million units.

Be sure to keep an eye out for more Revolution details

---------------------------------------
Nintendo is planning a global launch like Microsoft is doing with the Xbox 360? It's a risky move.

I am a bit concerned over that comment Iwata said that the Revolution would be a "complete failure" if it does not sell better than the GameCube. Does this mean that if the Revolution fails, then Nintendo will quit the console market? Oh please God, let it not happen!

I think that the REV will sell 2x as mush as it's already a hit in Japan when people tried it.

May 2006, huh? That's just a little before my 8th grade graduation. But I'm still saving my money. Slowly. I mean, I have $20.73.

I haven't trusted anything Iwata says since he said Mario was to be replaced by now with a new mascot. Well where is this new mascot?

I don't remember anything about a mascot. But the lack of a new mascot is there.

I think they'd still be on their feet if the Revolution doesn't live up to their expectations. They can certainly still live off their Gameboy sales which have always been high.

First off, why is this in GMC? This is not directly related to Mario. Also, quit with the little incremental Revolution news topics! You know what? Someone should have made a "post your Revolution news here" topic (not now, though!). So far, it's been like this:

Revolution announced!
The Revolution is made by Nintendo!
Revolution will be revolutionary!
That last topic was just an opinion!
That one too!
Revolution controller rumors!
More Revolution controller rumors!
Revolution controller's best rumors!
Revolution controller announced!
New Revolution news!

And by the way, Vidgmchtr, it's Game Boy, not Gameboy.

Um before I say anything. I'm Positive that Mario won't be replaced.

Oh and Glorb, before you start acting like a madman again, peace will return when you stop complaining about the 20% amount of topics that are misplaced in GMC.

If you search hard enough, you should find a topic titled "sad new for Mario fans" in this very forum. That's where Iwata was stated to supposedly have said that Mario was to be replaced by a new mascot. MegaByte even addressed it in the first Mega-Mailbag.

HolyAarom · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2005, 02:56:51 PM »

I saw that topic. I still think that Mario won't be replaced. I'm the only one in this forum who wants MP7 and every other Mario game.

Who would think that Nintendo would replace Mario, that would be the most retarded move in thier history. Sorry, just wanted to get that off my chest.

It was a mistranslation by Nintendophiles. He meant to say that they [Nintendo] wanted to create a new franchise that would be as popular as Mario and Pokemon (which makes sense considering how much money both franchises make). Nintendophiles accidently interpreted it as Nintendo creating a new mascot that would eventually replace Mario and Pokemon thus this huge mess.
