If the rumor was about a Microsoft or a Sony upcoming console i could MAYBE give it a second thought, but coming from Nintendo?!

I mean, this article is from 2013. Just three years ago:

http://www.nintendo-insider.com/2013/07/miyamoto-nintendo-underestimated-jump-to-hd-development/

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has admitted that the company may have underestimated the scale of work necessary to craft high-definition titles for Wii U.

“When it comes to the scale of software development, Wii U with HD graphics requires about twice the human resources than before,” Miyamoto clarified at Nintendo’s recent shareholder meeting.

“Please allow me to explain that we may have underestimated the scale of this change and as a result, the overall software development took more time than originally anticipated just as we tried to polish the software at the completion phase of development.

It shouldn’t necessarily be cause for concern though, with Nintendo responding to such experiences by easing their development processes with tools such as Nintendo Web Framework.

He continued: “However, we are almost out of this phase, and we are also trying to create something unique utilizing an easier development approach called Nintendo Web Framework.”

You are telling me that a company that was struggling with HD development not so long ago is going to release a console with state of the art specs and 4K res?

Come on guys...
