512 MB for a console OS is beyond proposterous.  I can run Windows 7 on 512 MB.

I was not suggesting the OS usage will be higher but lower, the rumours do say "up to".

Which is why the rumor should be ignored.  "Up to" and "512 MB" should not ever have been considered by the author.

I'm disappointed in the crappy CPU, it's late 2012, there's no reason they shouldn't have been able to get a CPU that absolutely wipes the floor with the 360. 1-1.5 GB of RAM is skimping too, why not just go to 2GB? They're probably using dirt cheap RAM.

Oh well. I'm kinda resigned to the fact that the days of the SNES/N64/GCN are over, Nintendo these days is content with taking past generation console standards and slightly exceeding them 5-7 years later. That's the Wii way.

That said I'm sure Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong/etc. will look swell and play great and they're still my favorite software maker.

The RAM is not as skimpy as you think it is.  Please see the debate going on for the past several posts.

The CPU doesn't need to be as fast to be better.   And trust me, it is a better CPU.   It's from IBM's latest line up of chips.   Anyone claiming it's not better than the IBM's chips from 7 years ago should receive a stern look in their general direction.
