What? WHAT? WHAT?!!?!
Nintendo officially lost me. They are gonna make their own format? Doesn't this really alienate third party developers because now they'll either have to use Nintendo to print their game discs or be boned on making the game? Isn't this a regression in technology? Just WHAT?!
I think we are being rick-rolled by Nintendo... if this is really true... Nintendo... you are retarded. You are not helping your case. You tried to be different with the Wii and it sorta worked, but you never got away from the problem with third party developers. This does not help. That's 3 different formats or size limitations that developers now have to deal with. Usually multiplatform games go with the Xbox 360's standard of 8.5 GBs for their space limitation... but this is retarded.
How big will the format be? What type of laser will be used? Is this actually SMART?

It's a 25GB format, and they've already got the big third-party developers on their side, so it doesn't seem to alienate them. I think the main reason for the format was to fight piracy, but I may be wrong.
