Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
So, what games do we think will be launch titles?
I think a Trauma Center/Team game is inevitable.
They're medical games that feature ambulances.
Ambulances have sirens.
Sirens go "Wii U Wii U Wii U".

Zak McKracken would be awesome on the Wii U!

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
As I thought. Much too old to be considered by Nintendo.

It's not Flanker, but a general white paper about IBM's Cu-45HP: ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/en/tgd03009usen/TGD03009USEN.PDFNobody's been able to find more on Cu45HP Flanker
lol
From the 22nd of July 2010. Could perhaps put us in a righter direction.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
'If it compiles - ship it.'

Yeah, I posted the specs from that a few pages back but it doesn't lead us to too many specifics. I can't find much more on Infotech Enterprises' involvement with Nintendo (if any) either, aside from the general information from their website posted by wsippel.

A space kraken? Where did that come from?
Serious lack of "Nintendo is doomed." talk.

The man in question is working for Infotech, with global headquarters in Hyderabad, and AMD have an antenna there... Maybe there's a giant brainstorming regarding the Wii U CPU & GPU in India since several years... Well, tons of IT brand have antenna/headquarters/offices there.

Nah, "Nintendo is doomed." talk is copyrighted by Sales Age. Here are just a few souls who think that Nintendo will release a rebranded 360 in 2012
wsippel has said that the Wii U GPU was done in Hyderabad.

Cross development between the CPU and GPU?
Now THAT would be something.
That goes beyond just getting them running good, that goes into scary "We can have no bottlenecks" territory.
But, would Intel and AMD really work together?

Intel has no involvement with any of the consoles.
If you meant IBM and AMD - they are already working together on the 360S's SoC, and they are certainly working together at the East Fishkill plant.

Damn it. Why do I keep thinking it's Intel? Stupid I's...

Heavily optimized hardware is totally one of Nintendos strongpoints. This will propably happen this time aswell 
Gamecube was a miracle machine. So small yet so powerful...

no...no. WHAT!?
Source? I honestly do not remember a post by Paul saying such things.
Maybe parts of the design, but not all the GPU. And as i've said, there are tons of IT brand in Hyderabad, it's a silicon valley even more concentrated in one area, i've nearly went there for learning purposes, it's not because there's a society specialized in audio that have an office at the place, that it means they're working for the DSP part of a hypothetic GPU designed entirely there, for example. It could be coincidences. Or there's a link yes, we don't know for sure.
Still interesting to speculate and investigate on of course, nice find of yours in one of your message today
An article from Gamasutra concerning the demands of some game developers for Next Gen.
To sum-up, they want more power & a way to make more money through online stores/digital distribution/apps, more freedom, yadda yadda.
A rather short-term-following-of-the-current-trends mix of 15x Xbox360 and applications stores/stream if you like. I sense a lack of imagination and thinking outside the box, which the industry needs a lot in my opinion, after reading that actually.

You're saying that Nintendo will learn from their Wii U controller and make future portable systems that work alone or with a TV forgoing the need for a home based console?
I see your point. We used to be restricted to calculators that plugged into an outlet, computers for chat, surfing the internet, etc, but now we can do those things on our phones.

Guys, stop feeding the troll 
You are right the industry needs to change as far as thinking outside the box etc but as far as the industry is concerned they dont.
This is where Nintendo loses the industry. Nintendo says we have to be different in order to generate interest and to stand out. Meanwhile both Sony and Microsoft will end up selling 2/3-3/4 the sales of the Wii while being "too similar" for Nintendos tastes.
In the end Nintendo outsells them by a small margin for all the work Nintendo did to be different the results really dont support Nintendos notion. They got shit support and a console that died 2 years before they even bothered to release the replacement.

So I'm guessing that a 28nm process for the GPU has now been ruled out..? Thraktor's post about his opinions of the GPU on a 28nm process sounded quite feasible. Or do you think that there'd be production problems on something so new to be ready on time in enough volume..? Or perhaps AMD and Nintendo have decided that it's too risky as it's pretty much untested..?
Was hoping for a 28nm process to enable an 800Hz clockspeed, and 640 SPUs at 800Hz would give us 1024 GFlops
(
Mind you, if it's 640 SPUs at 600Hz that would still give us 768 GFlops which is nothing to be sniffed at lol.

It's pretty sad the state Sega and THQ are in, but it would be so rad if Nintendo managed to hire the teams of Nagoshi, Naka, Kamaya, Mikami, Suda 51 and Itagaki. That would be a power house of Japanese devs that would cause a serious stir in the industry. Could you imagine that much potential all under one label? Drool...

They pretty much have half of Squaresoft, Sonic Team, Hudson, and few others.

All of those devs are pretty friendly toward Nintendo. Nintendo needs to scoop them up now! It would be a powerhouse of a huge magnitude.
How am I wrong? Nintendos deliberate actions to be different resulted in everyone buying basically a 3 year lifecycle console.
I own every single console Nintendo has ever made and was one of the first people in the original thread confirming dev kit issues. That doesnt change the fact that Nintendo more often than not is its own worst enemy not Sega, not Sony.Nintendo
Square-Enix... it would be nice to see a big S-E game (not Dragon Quest X) on a Nintendo home console. Crystal Bearers is the best example of wasted potential and I liked Chocobo's Dungeon. Such a fun little game. It's still a B-team effort though.

Looks like Ubisoft Netherlands gave an indication of WiiU's availability with this announcement:
