Guess not.
In as of so far the only thing we've ruled out from Emily's tweet is an outright super-GPU sporting Polaris in its full spread, and, potentially, the much doubted and highly unlikely 14nm. Which, in and of itself, was never part of the original rumor but it does bring up issues of the original unless Nintendo and AMD have designed a very, very unique split-gen GCN GPU rather than using a more standard GCN 1.2.
Said rumor came from a dev, who seems to be... a real dev.

I'm quite happy with how little we know for certain. I'd hate to be spoiled on the important stuff. Knowing about cross-gen games or ports is fine. Exciting information but not megaton, reveal-ruining information. Recently too much from Nintendo has been leaked.
Why? Just because we firmly believe and disbelieve every single rumor at the same time? Follow in one source or another just to sustain our delusional hopes?

Or she does know the specifics but is concerned about protecting her source so instead she gives enough information to debunk the alleged leaks in this thread.
Surprise NX reveal at PAX East on Friday. Playable behind closed-doors for media only.

They will probably show something before E3. Whether or not we get word of that this week is up in the air.
Now, next week, on the other hand...
Man...people need to chill on the specs for the NX. Tbh, all I'm worrying about is if it'll have games, if it'll be fun and if developers will jump on the platform. As long as the specs are comparable and/or better we'll be good. I can understand why some would be upset but look at the other side, it's gotta have some titles.
I'm fine with it personally. I just wanna know if this thing will be fun.

That too.
People are too quick to go out of their way to bash someone. I don't know if it's a sense of entitlement or lack of ability to think.

Pretty much where I'm at, although competent secs may equate to some decent ports and it's rumoured to be supported with plenty of games so...I still don't know lol

This thread has been flying too close to the sun...
"Exclusive NX Details from PAX East"
Developer: "The NX was delivered with a Polaris. We drive the Polaris around the office with the NX and showoff the NX with Polaris to everyone. Specs are good on both."
The thing is: the reason I have trouble waiting is the uncertainty after Wii U. If all was well, I'd be excited and enthused but waiting would be much less tense. My own desires are mostly for software and I expect those to be thwarted in the particular sense but I do think Nintendo will have a decent showing. The thing with the hardware is I want some sign that NX has a path to success. I really want to know that.
Calm down. Would it kill you to be respectful and not greedy? This may be all she was told, or she was told more but as any good human being would she doesn't want to put her sources in too much of a risky situation. It's when the details come, and when they are accurate, that heads begin to roll.
I'm literally dying for news.
We waited this long. 1+ month is nothing.
Well, then you need to see a doctor and be prescribed some NX antihype pills. That goes for all of us, I reckon.

Can you honestly stand that much more time of rumours and spec? Lol I dunno if I've got the stamina to make it....burning out here...
I'm good. It's baseball season
And worst case scenario, I could actually play my videogames instead of being really opinionated about them on the internet.
Wait all of this already happened.

I'm cool with the rumors and speculation. Makes the wait more entertaining.

I think it's over. We may be talking N64 power levels here. Is Nintendo doomed?

I think "we don't want our ideas stolen" is only half the reason. Probably less.
Ok real stuff incoming:

You know, Nintendo is a lot like Metallica. NES, SNES, N64 , GC is like 80's Metallica records where they were cool as hell, made legendary music and kicked ass. Then Wii came along and it was like the black album that sold a shit load but many felt like they sold out. Wii U is load era - st. anger/ lulu where fame and ego got to them, and they felt they can do anything. 3ds is death magnetic, its just there. And now NX is the new album that everyone has been waiting for forever and most people are hoping it will be a return to form but probably know it's gonna be a let down.
NES = Kill'em all
SNES = Ride the lightning
N64 = Master of puppets
Gamecube = And justice for all
Black Album = Wii
Load/ Reload/ St.anger/ Lulu = Wii U
NES = Kill'em all

My expectations, or desires? I expect something that's probably going to be a bit less than XBO, hitting the $200-$250 price point with some Nintendo "hook" like controller or some such. Basically something that's in the ballpark of this gen, barely, so they can possibly get some ports but still primarily a Japanese and Nintendo console.

Oh my this thread delivers. Rumours ahoy.
I shall not believe anything until it comes from Nintendo. My blood pressure can't take it,though it's fun watching the hype train

I think somebody had to do that, Nintendo N10k console was about to close on that $1000 going by the day/day increase in power.

Everything you guys have been hyping over have been fake leaks. Wait for the official reveal, this is getting childish and out of hand now...
Thing is, my expectations are grounded in historical statistics. Nintendo has never consciously gone for a high-tech console. Nintendo has consistently had less and less market share every gen (Apart from Wii). Nintendo has consistently stated they want gaming to be for everyone and they want to bring new things to gaming. Nintendo has almost always had consoles for $250 or less. (And yes as I demonstrated sometime ago, inflation doesn't have a 1:1 relation to price and affordability)
As I have also said, ANYTHING can happen but when we look at Nintendo's history, one has to be blind to the last 30 years to think they are going for a high-end console.

When 10k started talking about how it's highly possible that Polaris will be used in the next handheld, that's when I stopped listening.

Only Wii and Wii U were underpowered consoles.
The Gamecube was more powerful than the ps2.
Funny enough Thraktor was talking about Polaris in the handheld long before 10k.

I never listened in the first place.
But that's because I haven't enabled a text to voice narrator on my browser.
