It's an extra bonus, and while you could emulate these games on a SONY
or MS console, remember Nintendo would never liscense their old games
for those systems, so they have that leverage.

Noone has said how much the Revolution will cost, I am guessing but I
think Nintendo will release it way below 300 prob 199 to start.

The Revolution will play DVD's and Cd's.

Why? My Cd and Dvd players work instantly without the need to boot up.

How could you? You don't know what they are.

Yes indeed, but those *are* just titles, nobody has seen any footage yet
(apart from that brief snip of metroid).
Unless you've disliked all the Metroids, Mario's and Zelda's previously
your comment isn't valid since you have no idea what the actual games
will be like.
Then indeed if you hate Nintendo's major titles so much why are you
interested in the back catalogue? - bearing in mind that they have said
that they are only releasing nintendo games not ones produced by a third
parties.

Aren't you jumping the gun just a little?
