Blog post from Scott Lowe (IGN Gear Editor) about why you should trust his sources:


I know a lot of people around here hate IGN (and it certainly has its flaws) but I trust that they at least believe these rumors to be true.

More like covering their butts if it turns out to be different.

Funny enough but that's one of the issues they're having with the 3DS and the DS right now.

Unless they're actually referring to the size of the dev kit?

I think the guess of $349 with a pack-in game seems right.

Can someone please explain to me how we have come to the conclusion that it's going to be like a PS3.5, and not just a "notch" above the PS3. The new IGN article just says that the new GPU will "out perform the PlayStation 3's NVIDIA 7800GTX-based processor," it doesn't say by how much.

The SNES came out 20 years ago, man. Can't imagine people confusing the two.

I'd have said the same thing about them selling a $250 handheld.

I wouldn't have.

It's not about "Nintendo keeps things cheap!" It's that there's a certain price for the market to find acceptable and while the 3DS may be above that price, it is not flagrantly so. $400 would be.

What the hell at the IGN info. I'm not much into the graphic card side of things, but isn't that higher than what a PS3 could push out, assuming they don't bottleneck it with something stupid?

There we go.

Yeah...that is actually a bit scary. Nintendo with that amount of power is just...damn o_O

Finally, Nintendo is considering naming the console Stream, though it is potentially one of several names currently being vetted by the company.

Nintendo Stream - wow I actually like it. Way better than "Wii" anyday. However I can see the jokes already "Nintendo is taking it to the next level with Stream, pissing all over their fans."

If this controller idea turns out to be true, you can count me out.

Stick with the wii remote and nunchuk and refine that system instead. This LCD, Dual Analog fused shit is way too complicated.

IGN continues to say "Significantly outperforms PS3/360" and has the most steady flow of information right now. That's all--still could be wrong.

Yeah, I have to admit that the first thing I thought of was Wii Stream. I'm not 12... I promise.

Very un-Nintendo like...then again we all said the same thing about the $250 3DS.

I'm hoping the higher price point means that they're packing a lot more into the system. Between the price and the courting of 3rd parties they seem to be doing it sure sounds like they aren't going for the "cheapest" thing this time around.

$250 for a handheld is way more unacceptable to me than a $400 console.

Or they could turn it into a Dudebro-esque marketing campaign: "Stream--pissing all over the competition."

Not sure if they can fit something as/more powerful as a 360/ps3 into the size of a Wii. So yeah, N6 is gonna be bigger than a Wii.

IGN is not credible, at all, especially considering their few Nintendo journalists (who were good back in the day) are now all gone (outside of Craig).

Have they ever published rumors about a system that turned out to be blatantly false?

Yeah this info would be 10,000% more believable if Cass or Boz or even Craig were still there. They have people who know who they are among the Nintendo fanbase. For the rest of IGN, if they're wrong, they just slip back into the shadows for a while and everyone forgets they made up a bunch of crap.

Given the described CPU, or what we might surmise about it, it'd need a very powerful GPU and a pretty big chunk of RAM to balance out at half or three-quarters a generational step. I'm thinking it might have 2x the GPU power, but I doubt that would get us halfway between a PS3 and PS4 (even if Sony's relatively conservative). How much more powerful do you think the GPU here will be?
