Posted online recently. I don't trust this document much, but it's rumoured to show the technical power of Nintendo's next home console.

Thoughts? I think the specifications seem a bit low to be honest.
 
Same here, seems too low. IGN made a system based on the info They had, a while back. Their rick wasn't even much stronger than the PS3 or Xbox360, but definitely stronger than these specs.
They had like a ATI 4850HD
AMD 3.2 GHz Athlon x3
2GB ram (they did mention that the Nintendo is rumored to only have 1)
but only 50 gb harddrive
Still didn't run stuff "much" better than the other 2 consoles. Only small improvements even wiht that rig. But then again they hardware might be optimized as well as the games making things run waaay better than what they could even test. Still gave a nice idea of what power it "Could' possibly have.
So yea long story short.. I agree.. too low

Yes, a bit low. This could be Nintendo's chance to reach for the stars and go all out for the Wii 2....... but.....
 
Well,I dont understand that mumbo jumbo,what dosit mean? Is it better than the ps3 and xbox360?
 
I highly doubt this is true.
As stated above, it seems to weak, also certain parts go against previous rumours (of course those rumours are not necessarily true themselves, but obviously this shows they can't both be true). Finally, if this were genuine, whoever is responsible for leaking this would get very, very sued by Nintendo.
 
And doesnt Sony make Blu-rays?
 
Yeah, that's the other thing that seems off about this.
Nintendo don't like using other people's tech, since it means that a)they have to pay royalties, and b)they have less control over how the disc works and holds info.
Nintendo will most likely end up using a proprietary format with a comparable capacity to blu-ray.
