I don't see the funny part. Its fully detailed... and there have been no games to push the hardware yet... so yeah.

You have to forgive us for not being exactly excited for seeing the equivalent of a Radeon 3850 and three PowerPC G3 cores being pushed.

It's like trying to get hyped to a race attended by of four-cylinder cars.

I have full confidence in what the Wii U can do. It will play sweet games. I'll picking up one when Pikmin 3 launches.

"Fully official in every component" is what's funny. Internet rambling and quessing is nothing official. If it was, 90 % of all conspiracies theory on the net would be proven.

The chips were the only parts not official from Nintendo.

Those chips have been torn apart and detailed by industry professionals.

Its done. We know the details of each chip and full hardware base on what I have listed in OP. What we don't know is the full realization of how this translates into games built on final hardware taking advantage of that hardware's capabilities.

What I have listed is official and not up to any guessing. (for WiiU)

I have to agree with him tbh industry experts or not they still haven't fully confirmed the components because both are so heavily customized which makes the statement untrue as it's not official it's just calculated guesses as seen with the GPU which has speculation after speculation being thrown out, years from now I won't be surprised if the current guesses are thrown out again. Most of the experts still aren't sure themselves as they've never really seen the design of the said components which is why it's a bold thing to claim it's official, simply put it's not official it's still speculated.

The decision to go with an 8-core 1.6ghz OoO Jaguar cores is still strange to me. Why would anyone go with 8 slow cores at such low clock speeds when a 65W Trinity APU is going to destroy this CPU in every performance metric? Power consumption or saving costs are likely the key drivers here. Even worse, Richland APUs are rumored to launch by March 19th.

From a 6-8 year useful life perspective, it is well worth it to delay the console for 2-3 months to switch out 8-core 1.6ghz Jaguar for a 4-core Richland APU. It would make such a big difference in the long-run in terms of CPU power. Heck, they could drop all the way down to A8-6500 and still have 4-core 4.1ghz Piledriver CPU! The desire to cut corners this generation is unbelievable considering games cost $60 and we are bombarded with $30-40 DLCs/Season Passes and micro-transactions. I mean really these companies couldn't fit a proper quad-core CPU that costs less than $100 in retail? Jeez.

Everything I am reading thus far about the 720 keeps pointing to MS focusing more on entertainment and media rather than gaming. The consoles seem to be moving farther and farther away from their key function and becoming more multi-media devices with a capability to play games. It almost feels like in their desire to attract casuals, they are throwing all these gimmicks like Kinect 2.0, which in the end sacrifices what the console could have been had it been made to target the hardcore gamers, as was the case in the past. I will miss those days.
