Is it possible ... yes.

Is it likely ... no.

 

The articles come from places which worship tech and often denegrate NIntendo.  The "number of developers" quoted is two. The developers mention things which were all the rage six months ago -- PS3/PSV combos.  And most importantly, they tend to contradict things people have said "on the record" with their names attached.

Most likely, the developers have old dev kits or someone was cleaning out their notebook for a story. Old info one way or the other.

 

Overall, WiiU is probably 2x +/- 0.5x (1.5x to 2.5x) as powerful as the current consoles.   We have had developers say it can do 1080p or 720p and 480p AT THE SAME TIME -- so that must mean some power.

We will know soon, starting at E3.

The source is Gameindustry.biz...they don't "worship tech" that would be Engadget.

I go by facts, if those aren't available I go by rumors. I however, never make stuff up like you just did.

Mike's projections were in line with what several rumors have spouted.

And GameIndustry.biz is a source that has a record of anti-Nintendo bias, such as the similar sites GamaSutra or Industry Gamers. In no case there can one hope to get straight talk on Nintendo, but then again very, very few resources provide straight talk on Nintendo. The Nintendo fan-sites are the only places where you can get a fair shake.
