Peer Schneider at IGN has been covering Nintendo in depth longer than some people on this board have been alive (since 1996). 

Is he wrong too? He said they cross verified that report with several of their own sources at IGN. 

And Semi Accurate and LPVG and Wall Street Journal too. This is like the PS4 Neo and XBox Scorpio leaks, it's not just a Eurogamer thing. 

Look. I know you really want the hybrid to happen, but no one for sure. Even if it does happen, it will be the biggest letdown ever. Especially since the hybrid has already been done, and the detachable controllers have already been done. This means that Nintendo has been so secretive about a underpowered (vs the twins) machine with a 720p screen.

Is that what you really want?

What difference does it make what I want? Nintendo does whatever the hell they want, personally I think they popped a giant boner when they saw the hybrid prototype and decided to go all in because they're Nintendo and they go crazy over shit like that (and detchable toy-like controller wings ... yes, that's very much up Nintendo's design ally). 

What's so original about what SuperMetalDave 64 wants? He wants basically a Nintendo PS4. Even using the exact same chip more or less that Sony and MS are using. Polaris this and Polaris that, like shut up already about Polaris (to SMD64). You have no clue even if Nintendo used AMD that they would ever use that chip. 

Every one of the last two generations we've gotten a deluded group of Nintendo fanatics who let themselves get into a tizzy over hyped hardware that never happend. First the "Revolution" was definitely going to be on par with the XBox 360 at least. Then it was "OK, well no HD, but it'll match XBox 360 at SD". Uhhhh ... nope. 

Then Project: Cafe/Wii 2 ... oh for sure now Nintendo will have a chip comparable to the XBox One and PS4. Months of speculating over some super duper IBM CPU tech (lol). And an AMD 4850 (1 TFLOP performance) for sure. Nooooooooooope. 

This is just the same people falling for the same crap a third time.
