Nintendo will provide its next-generation Revolution console with 20 titles at launch, according to a statement from its vice president George Harrison. 

Speaking in the latest edition of Game Informer magazine, Harrison said that Nintendo had learned from past mistakes with the Gamecube. 

"The other thing we recognised is that you really make your reputation in the first year," he said.

"You've got to deliver software, not just at launch but in the first six to nine months after launch and it has to be solid software. In Gamecube, we didn't have that."

Harrison also hinted that the Revolution console, which has lower specs than the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, would sell for less than its competitors. 

"Our goal is to come in at a slightly more mass market price," he said.
