IGN is reporting the same thing - and more details - from their own sources, so this looks like it's pretty much the real deal.

More powerful than PS3 and backwards compatible.

My guess is Nintendo reveals specs this E3 buts saves novel defining 'gimmick' until next E3 so MS/Sony can't copy (too quickly).

Really this is no surprise, the lack of games currently was telling their resources are elsewhere.  There's a ton of great stuff they can bring over from Japan for WIi to fill up the rest of this year and into next without needing much actual new content wise.
