Nintendo was surprisingly cagey about the technical specifications of its upcoming Revolution video game console at last month's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) video game conference. Well, cagey as in Nintendo never mentioned any technical specs at all. This week, a company representative did, however, confirm that the Revolution won't support HDTV-resolution video games, as the competing Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 do. Meanwhile, two sources have "leaked" what they claim to be the technical specifications for the Revolution. There's just one problem: Each specification is completely different, so at least one of them is made up. I'll report back as soon as I know what the real deal is here.
