sept instead of june -- doesn't sound like a big deal to me. there were rumors about vita overheating not long ago. as long as the final hardware is reliable it doesn't matter what the development phase issues are.

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

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?

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.

Well given their track record, it is fairly reasonable to assume that they were right about that one given the announced price. However, the idea of 256M generated such a backlash, that sony could have easily changed their minds.

This is something... like others said, this is the development phase, anything can go wrong. Although it does give us an insight on what Nintendo is up to.

Delays. Sounds like Nintendo is in deep trouble with this console.

well duhhhh when something is in development many things go wrong until it is fixed just like a game needs bug testing before it is released.

the console never had a date to begin with so how will it be delayed? the only thing Nintendo said is that it would be out after April next year.

		R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

01Net has already shown themselves to be disreputable. Combine that with the fact that we have numerous CITED sources that say they LOVE working on WiiU, and there's absolutely no validity whatsoever to this story. This article doesn't cite a single developer by name, merely says that there are devs complaining.
