interesting, might get back to Nintendo's bandwagon if true, but this thing have to be released late this year or next max!

Perhaps. Of course it may be that Nintendo completely shift their focus on the home console side and go for ultimate power, kind of like an OG Xbox situation to attract people who want the most power and leave the new handheld at a reasonable price to keep capitalising on its keen audience
Overall I agree though, 4.6 is a bit much but I can see them being more aggressive on the specs front next time round given the criticsm they've received for the WiiU's relative weakness, perhaps 3, or a little more, depending on how things progress and the timeframes involved. For example, will 14nm be ready in time? How expensive will it be? Given that the Wii got 6 years before replacement the WiiU2 has probably got until 2018 at the latest but it may be pulled earlier if the new console is ready, so this is a bit sketchy.
Overall I'm still with you though
EDIT: and with you gigantor21
I thought Nintendo should do this idea awhile ago, and hopefully this is it.
Nintendo releases a DS and a console that play the exact same games. So develop on one system and it can play on both. If they want to play at home, buy the home console, want to play portable, buy the portable. Third parties will flock to Nintendo because they'll also be able to get sales from two markets without having to port it to two different consoles.
It looks like the portable version and console version may use the same games but one is printed on an SDHC card while the console version is printed on disc.
Code names Fusion DS and Fusion Terminal could have a specific meaning of fusing the DS and console together, what I explained above.
I just want to say as I was reading over that list of hardware specs I couldn't help but laugh at my own ignorance of what any of that, or any of people's comments relating to their knowledge of said hardware, means lol. I'm still laughing at myself lol.

Don't worry, I had to WIkipedia quite a bit of what I said (including, to my embaressment, what a FLOP is)
DDR4 memory? 4.6 TF GPU? This all sounds great and that's why Nintendo will give us a console with a GPU that is only 0.000000001% more capable than the PS4's GPU. ;)

I'm certain that it's fake, but I have to comment on one thing:
Two versions, a diskless and a disk drive one? That would definitely create consumer confusion. They can't just go into a shop and then be presented with the question of which. Not everyone really knows what they need. I absolutely think ALL of the consoles should have a disk drive, the need for that isn't going away anytime soon. Even having a limited supply of diskless ones WILL create the problem I described.
Yep.

Perhaps, but I would say that it isn't insurmountable, I'd compare it to people learning not to put petrol in a diesel powered car and vice-versa - dont buy disks for your diskless console, download them. You're right to point out though that it'd be awkward to get the split right when making supplies for launch though, and I'm sure some people would get it wrong but is it really that bad?

No, we didn't. Eurogamer admits they didn't know everything, and the people they source (NeoGaf) admit that they don't know everything. Eurogamer then concludes that they _do_ know everything and NeoGaf, of course, responds by saying it's a load of BS.
Eurogamer is one of the worse places to get your news from.

The fact that this includes specs for the next home console makes me call BS. Fair enough the Wii U is a very bad situation but I have full believe that up until recent months they thought thought their fall/winter software release would turn things around. RnD for the next home console may have began but I really dont think they've already got it specs lined up, as the system probably wasnt planned for release till 2017-18 prior Mario failing to ignite the
Wii U's sales.
