We are now just months from E3 2006, and while there will be a good chunk of info that can be expected before the full unveiling there, Los Angeles is expected to be one of the biggest gaming war-zones of all time. Last year, Nintendo proved they weren't all talk as the DS swept the PSP in content and popularity. In fact, numerous press outlets raved about the DS, awarding it with "Best of Show" over both the 360 and PS3: Simply staggering. DS has taken the portable world by storm, still outselling the PSP to this day in both America and Japan. Why is this so important? It's simple. The Nintendo Revolution is the next evolution of the console world, much like the DS was the next step in portable gaming.
