Specs For Nintendo's New Console Possibly Leaked

Wow... A nintendo console that can be played above 480p

Sure, the specs look fine, but then people will whine about the lack of good games at launch.

CPU- Codename Fox
GRAPHICS-Codename Wolf

That made me smile :)

"If these specs are indeed true, the new console will trump the current offerings from Sony and Microsoft. Which means they better hurry up and announce their own next-gen successors as well."

Please no. Maybe I'm the minority here... but I don't want a new console generation. The graphics are good enough as it is, I don't want to have to pay 500 dollars for a "new" Playstation that has "better" graphics, or some kind of crazy Super HD. New consoles means added cost for developers as well, due to needing to learn the ropes with the new system. Added costs means less time spent on development until they get comfortable with it. Which in turn, leads to less good games. And for what? Slightly better graphics? It's just not worth it. Can't we wait another 5 years, and THEN go to the next generation?

That would be reasonable if it could apply, but it doesn't. I do hope you realize every console that was released did more than just bumped up graphical power.

Nintendo is sitting on the best multiplayer catalog of all the big 3. If this console offers a solid online multiplayer service Nintendo could be poised to retake the hardcore gamer.

Most likely, if sony and microsoft release new consoles, they probably won't upgrade them in ways that would harm developers. There's a big difference between simply upgrading the hardware, and completely re-tooling all of the software that goes to developers. If you remember, there was a lot of talk about Nintendo possibly releasing a Wii+, which simply would have bumped up the graphics to handle blockbuster type games. I seriously doubt sony and microsoft will want to do much more than that any time soon, since a full development cylce on a console can cost upwards of a billion dollars when you're talking all new tech. It's too expensive to be doing that now, especially when you already lose money on every console sale. With Nintendo, which supposedly was making money on each sale (and essentially just repackaged the gamecube with motion control and named it the wii), I don't think a full development cycle really hurt them all that much financially.

@ Doc_Holiday agreed. I don't mind them appealing to the casual crowd but I'd be happy if they pandered to us more, the constant customers.

It's about time Nintendo made a current gen console. Too bad they focus so much on gimmicks and depend so much on their plumber and Pokemon that I'll probably still not bother with them.
