Yea, it is BS.  Like Sound wave also pointed out, it's probably a small site trying to get more traffic.  We already had a Gaf insider say that it was going to not even going to be on par with the PS4.  Not sure how accurate he will be.  We also had Nintendo say they weren't aiming for powerful/expensive HW. 

Realistically, I'm expecting a console on par or slightly more powerful than the PS4.  Of course, I don't see that doing much against a $199-$249 PS4.  Not with a PS5, that will probably be 4x-5x more powerful than the PS4, coming out a year or so after the NX.

I highly doubt the PS5 will be out before 2020 ...

Well, I'm expecting the NX in 2017.  Nintendo isn't going to be putting out the system next year if they are only just putting out SW-based dev kits.  That shows they haven't even settled on the HW specs.  Most likely they'll be experimenting with specs/price and finalizing that all by mid-late 2016.  Then devs need time to get a handle on the specs and create games for launch.  Nintendo said they are still releasing Zelda on Wii U, so I doubt they want a new system to potentially kill the sales of one of their larger games.

As for the PS5, I expect that in 2019, to coincide with the PS brand's 25th anniversary.  So, I guess I should have said 2 years later.  Still, it won't be too much longer after the NX launches that we will be hearing rumbles about the PS5 from insiders.  I just don't think a NX with PS4-like graphics is going to do much.
