Nintendo are preparing a war against the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 2 and will not back down by the sound of things.

Sony recently announced that they plan to show the PS3 at the next E3 to drum up interest. Nintendo have also stated that the Revolution will be "discussed" in great detail as well.

"In terms of PlayStation 3, 'exhibited at E3' and 'coming to market' are two very different things," said Nintendo Europe's head of PR, Shelly Pearce today. "What we've always said is that we'll be releasing Revolution in the same timeframe as the others. What that timeframe will be is very up in the air at this point." She continued to state "I'm not really sure what Sony will actually be exhibiting at E3."

"Our plan is to talk about our vision for Revolution at E3 next year, and how we're going to revolutionise console gaming," Pearce told Eurogamer. "At next year's E3 there'll obvious be a lot more discussion about next generation, and we'll be talking about ways we're going to take console gaming forward without just focussing on graphics. But it's far too early to talk about specifics now."
