Two questions I have seen several times that I thought I could answer ...
Why doesn't Nintendo release the specifications?
While Nintendo does manufacture hardware they do not consider themselves to be a hardware company. They're a game developer and they only care about hardware to the extent that it is needed to create the games they desire. With this in mind, they want everyone to focus on the software that is being produced not on whether or not the system has 1 or 1.4 teraflops of theoretical processing power.
If the system is more powerful than the HD consoles why don't they brag about it?
It is called managing expectations. If people start expecting graphics that surpass Crysis 2 on a high end PC and they get moderate improvements over HD console games they will be much more disappointed than if they were expecting something that was on par with the HD consoles.
