81% like Reggie Fils-Aime as Nintendo’s Chief Marketing Officer. I gotta admit, the guy’s got charisma, but at times it seems a little too forced.

Thanks for voting and give us your two cents as to when you think the Revolution will drop next ye...

The man is taking Nintendo where it needs to be. He succeeded in establishing the DS as more than a silly concept. He’s planned a great exit strategy for the Cube by making it a true value for late adopters. The journey ahead will have an incredible payoff for both Nintendo and fans alike. We all know this.

Yesterday we told you all the deets IGN (allegedly) squeezed from their inside sources concerning the Revolution. Today we bring you their second dose of very credible hearsay: “The Big N has opted out of filling the system with a massive supply of expensive RAM” because they are NOT in direct competition with PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. “Revolution will build on GameCube’s ...
