Who said specifications release in august? Why not at E3?

Nintendo doesn't release specs officially, I don't think they ever released them for GC or Wii, people had to figure them out themselves once they get a look inside.

As such, while E3 will give a good showing of what WiiU launch games will be able to look like, proper specifications will be rumours until someone opens up a finallised WiiUnit

GC, DS and even most 3DS specs were released.   Wii has been the only console they were entirely hush hush about.
