Of the new consols being released Nintendo's Revolution is probably the most unique. Although Xbox and PS3 have more powerful engines running them, Nintendo took an approach that might revolutionize gaming. They designed a system that will emphisize the vidoe game interface.

As you can see the controller looks nothing like any consols controller made before it. And there are still a few concetual ideas surrounding it.
But this is more than simply a controller, the revolution will be able to.
Connect to internet through a cable or WiFi connection.
Play DVD's
Connect with both TV's and monitors.

Now for the nitty gritty.
2.5 GHz PowerPC chip as the CPU. 512MB of RAM. 600Mhz Graphics processor. Rumored to have a PPU -- a physics processing unit. Physics calculations include things like collision detection and the modeling of complex objects like moving hair and clothes. Having a PPU would offload all of these calculations from the CPU.
$199 or less.
