Wii U details leaked by Ubisoft developer? Lots of interesting stuff inside

[CM30]

This is only a rumour so far though and the source given is as dubious as you can get (really, a 'an Italian forum poster claiming to be a developer at Ubisoft Milan'), but it'd be interesting if true. Here's what's been said:

• Wii U supports DirectX 11 and is already running Unreal Engine 4
• Wii U will support to touch-screen controllers
• The console has 2GB or RAM, 560MB dedicated to the OS
• The launch date will be 23 November
• Launch price hasn’t been decided but will be between $350 – $450
• Rayman Legends, The Avengers, Assassin’s Creed 3, Just Dance 4 are all on Ubisoft’s Wii U schedule, with Killer Freaks from Outer Space set to arrive weeks after launch.
• There are currently multiple versions of the console with developers
• Graphics are powered by the Radeon HD 6770 chipset
• Assassin’s Creed 3 will run at 60fps at 1080p, compared to 720p on PS3 and Xbox 360
• Wii U will come with pre-installed software
• Crytek, EA and Valve are all working on Wii U
• Valve are working on a digital distribution platform and Portal ports
• Wii U will support achievements
• Wii U’s UI will be customisable
• The new button has some link to the Wii Vitality Sensor
• The trigger buttons won’t be analogue

Is this accurate? Hard to tell.

Have to be a bit skeptical with the member actually being called 'developer1' though, seems like a rather stupid and likely faked identity. It'd be like Iwata posting as 'Nintendo CEO'.

Do you think this stuff is true?

I haven't really checked on it, but the information posted doesn't seem to hold any outliers in terms of legitimacy. Although that vitality thing seems odd.

Turns out this is all fake:

Just a troll. The message on the forum where it was originally posted translates to:

I wanted to tell you that in truth are not what I said that before. I'm not a developer Ubisoft Milan, indeed, not even a developer in truth. I'm just a 15 year old boy who loves playing video games. I wanted to make a joke to users of this forum, but I did not want it all would end this way. I apologize to all, with users, with all the fans who believed in what I wrote, but above all to Ubisoft that I realized that it caused problems. At first I thought to pass for a developer Ubisoft because it was the first name of a company based in Italy, so as to be believed by many people as possible.
I regret having done such a thing, so I would like to apologize to all in the hope that you will forgive me for this error and hope that Ubisoft will forgive my bravado and I swear I will not do such a thing.
