Yeah, I'm going to call BS on that ...

It's the demo, not a game. And dev kits can be powerful and the actual console a joke, ie Wii U.

Where was this reported?

No, the problem with this is that they are judging the hardware because a demo. For example, the GameCube had a demo (Rebirth) and no game released on the console looks as good as that. Let's also remember the demos on Wii U. We don't know how are the games going to perform and until we hear "Mass Effect Andromeda is running at 1080/60 and no current console can match that" this comment is not exactly confirming anything outside of Nintendo upgrading the specs.

Didn't they just decribed the GPU as "near top-of-the-line" ?

Like I said guys look at this NintendoForum website. The biggest thread in their forum is one with like 33 replies.

To say this source is dubious would be putting it mildly. A 13-year-old with a Twitter account could have made the same post.

This incase anyone missed this.

Remember when some reports said 3DS had PS360 tech? and in the end it was that REvelations looked good and with some modern effects, but still a handheld game?

"Numerous developers working on software for the platform have likened its graphical capabilities to current-generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, albeit on smaller, lower-resolution screens."
