Are these the same people who made up the moronic second analogue stick rumour for the 3DS?

Shouldn't someone develop a reputation before you believe the (most likely fake) rumours they spread?


They already have the rep.a VERY good rep...vita and WiiU details they put out were very much spot on and they did it before reveal. THAT is what's worrisome about this, this has a good chance of actually being true

let's hope they work out the issues before release...but have to wonder since it's less than a year to the rumored release date.

But they also blew the whole "Vita will have its RAM halved" thing. They're definitely putting a lot of chips on the table at once, credibility wise, with these 3DS and Wii U rumors in quick succession

- Wii U chipset may be limiting hardware performance and “a tad too cheap”

Would Nintendo reallllllly make that msitake?

If anyone honestly believes that June 2012 is a possible release date for the Wii U, then I've got beach front property in Nebraska to sell them at dirt cheap prices. No way this thing comes out before Nov 2012 in ANY territory.

Having said that, I don't believe the current dev kits are so bad that they can't even get the basic functions like wireless working properly. I'm sure Ninty is putting out almost constant revisions of the hardware and chipset prototypes on a monthly basis, but I seriously doubt they'd send developers faulty or non-functional kits because that would reflect extremely poorly on the company at a time when regaining 3rd party trust and support is crucial to their future success.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

The bakelite around the chips are reducing their range.

they didn't blow it though, for all we know it might be true. We never had concrete evidence of what the original RAM for Vita was like, and the rumor might have been about an early model. But they were very very good with the psv and WIu Info, wouldn't be surprised if this was true as well

what's their 3ds rumor?

How about we wait until the thing's out before passing judgment?

I think has happened was Nintendo was going to use a more expensive chipset and release their console for ~$350 - now they've realised with the 3DS that this probably isn't such a great idea, so they're trying to cut costs so that they can still release profitably at a price like $250.

Except they weren't vague on the Vita RAM thing. They specifically stated it had been cut to 256MB from 512MB. This was obviously wrong.

I don`t if this is a common thing or not, but this is the first time Nintendo shares info and probably dev kits so soon, which could mean that these failures could have happened before but to Nintendo alone since they tend to give dev kits later then they did now.
