| Crystalchild said: Yeah, E3 is close, and even i am (didnt think it'd happen after the wii came out) excited about Ninty's new Console. My Suggestion; IBM Tri- or Quadcore CPU. with three Cores, i'd suggest it'd be near to the 360, with around 3,4 GHz. As Quad, i'd say around 2.8 GHz. (A Quad would be awesome, because the fourth run could handle the OS while a game is running.) If it is a tri-core, the clock speed will probably be 3.4-3.7 GHz. If it is a quad core I'm guessing the clock sped will be 3 GHz exactly. 512 - 2048 MB Ram (GDDR3?) depending on if shared with the Graphics memory. (512-1024 if not) It was rumored that Nintendo took advice from devs on how to spec the system. If this is true, it will have between 1 and 2 gigs if not more. Graphics: ATI Mid-Class Chip, near to the already rumored r700 series, (but a bit tweaked) which could lead to a graphics Chip close to ATI's 4k series, where i'd say its most likely more the 4600 HD than a 4800 HD. (since they simply dont need more to port current gen Software. more futureproof would be the r800 powered chipsets, but that would be most likely much more costly.) it all comes with 512-1024mb of Memory.* (I think we can call it pretty much confirmed that IBM and ATI will be delivering CPU and GPU, since Ninty is working with them since the Cube, and both are good Companies. Oh, and IBM is delivering the Processing Units of 360 and PS3, too.) Hard Drive: I think they'll dont have one. If any, they'll have internal, non-exchangeable Memory. (12-160 Gigs, depending on how much Media they allow on the Console. if you cant watch Videos but only Save Games, it wont be much.) But i think they might have some Gigs built in to the controller. SD Cards (Compatible with High End storage SD Cards or equivalent) Gigs in the controller? No, but there will be some memory in the controller. Else: Online Connectivity: I think Friend Codes will remain, but they can be disabled (/or enabled) by People above 18 (17-21, depending where you live) . If disabled, you can Play whatever you want with who you want, and you can turn it on for your childs Accounts.This sounds about right. Cafe Ware, Virtual Console; I think this will remain, and get some nice additions, with - last but not least - totally useless Apps like we have them in our Iphones and Androids today. (VC Games might be Playable with only the Controller, while the Console's turned off.) I don't think that N64 and GCN games will be available to play on the controller unlss the controller has its own processor. The Drive: I predict that Ninty will NEVER EVER use a Blu Ray drive. (and it hasnt anything to do with Sony; I think its just Nintendo's way to have their own, self invented Discs) and i think they'll be able to keep 8 Gigs of Data. double the ammount if Dual Layered. 8 gigs of data sounds too small. I think it will hold about 25 gigs single layer, and more for dual-layer. As for the drive itself, I think it will use a modified Blu-Ray drive like the Wii uses a modified DVD drive

So yeah, suggest something. =D |
