Rumors... Somehow, I doubt Nintendo wants to go Blu-Ray so it doesn't have to pay Sony, a direct competitor. Remember, Microsoft had an HD-DVD peripheral, and when Sony's Blu-Ray tech won out-right, Microsoft didn't bother. Keep in mind, Microsoft still uses DVD as it's medium, and if they can pull off HD with just that alone, Nintendo might just stick with with dual-layer DVDs as the medium, with an option to store on a hard drive. Quad-Core CPU? Somewhat, the most believable of all the things said in the article for 3D processing, but again... Nintendo was experimenting with dual-core cpus in the Wii's development and went with a single-core "Gamecube 2.0" processor. Not saying they'll go that route, but they'll put just enough power in it to keep the cost low. I'm expecting Nintendo to stick with an ATI / AMD gpu. What I'm really hoping for is what others have said... more ram for development and gaming purposes, and hard drive storage. The "projector" might end up becoming a peripheral, like the Wii sensor bar, to accomplish what Nintendo's overall vision of the product may be. Understand, that Nintendo will only produce something that they can gain a profit from on day one.
