So, you mean that the stuff that was known since June 2011 was used in this bullshit rumour ... what a surprise

The fact that the specs missed the 32GB model and didn't list that the system has 2GB of total memory are gigantic indicators that this was made up.


Missing the 32GB model actually makes sense, Nintendo probably didn't bother devs more than the base model. The 1GB of RAM for games also makes sense for what would be confirmed Nintendo would be more likely to confirm and keep locked down the amount of RAM that devs can actually use. How much RAM the OS uses doesn't really directly affect devs so it makes sense that they might not  bother with the number. 

Zarx has it, there was no reason for anyone other than Nintendo to even know about the 32GB version.  And as far as the RAM goes, Nintendo most likely didn't lock down the amount dedicated to the OS until well after the Dev KIts were all out there.  And again, it's not something for the devs to worry about, only Nintendo.
