Am I the only one who chooses not to believe this simply because it's from EuroGamer?

Besides isn't some of this info offbeat or unsourced?

From what I've heard on multiple sites, these specs make the Wii U either just as powerful as PS3/360 or way more powerful. So, I'll just post statements from the internet.

http://mynintendonews.com/2012/08/30/developers-finally-reveal-wii-u-specs/

I don’t believe it because of these statements:

“The console’s CPU is apparently formed of three IBM Power PC cores”
“The GPU is a custom AMD 7 series, supporting shader type 4 and DX10 type features”

Power PC was never confirmed by Nintendo. Their own website claims that the CPU is multi-core, but Power based, not Power PC. They are two completely different CPU architectures.
The AMD 7 series GPU family supports shader model 5 and DX11 type features.

I am a skeptic. Grain of salt taken.

Anyone remember the thousands of articles claiming THE SPECS REVEALED!

Why gets hits and people go OMG THE NEWS ARTICLE MOST BE TRUE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT IS.

I seen rumors say Wii_U gpu is lower than ps3 to it's 10 times stronger.

I seen articles say the cpu is 1.5 two cores to 3.4 quad core.

I don't listen to the positive or neagtive because it's all bs.

Just wait till nintendo releases there specs.

"Power PC was never confirmed by Nintendo. Their own website claims that the CPU is multi-core, but Power based, not Power PC. They are two completely different CPU architectures.

Eurogamer caught in a lie you don't say?
