It will do a MILLION BILLION BLINGILLION OOGIEFLOPS per second

This.

Does it matter what the underlying hardware spec is if the games look and play great?

And where did in my OP did I imply otherwise? This thread is just for fun, not to judge the quality of the games. I've long held the stance of graphics =/= better games.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Not really, but for the real geeks it's still very interesting. I would certainly like to know.

According to Pachter there was an SD slot which may mean you can use your won memory card to store data.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

The only thing I'm hoping for, is that there is either a hard drive or a nice large amount of flash memory so that I can download 3D movies, games, and music to this bad boy.

Sorry, I'm not bashing the thread.

I did make a technical post further up.

Well, we know if has a flash drive (plus SD-card expansion) and Nikkei reported that were will be a "game install" feature, and at launch 3DS game cards will have capacities up to 2GB... going off all that (and knowing Nintendo's "good enough for now" ideology), I'm guessing we're probably looking at an 8GB flash drive, with 500MB to 1GB of that reserved for the OS/settings.  That should be goos enough for a couple game installs, lots of DLC and a movie download or two.
