I don't even know where to begin - they acknowledge that it's just the PC equivalent parts of what's rumoured to be inside the new console and that the latter would likely have better optimised software and run a lot better.

It's just view whoring. It's not informing anyone or giving anyone any ideas about how games will run on the next console. But whatever, some people like these sorts of things and it is produced pretty well.
I thought it was entertaining. Why not speculate a little bit? The fact that their mockup version ran at a full 1080p was intriguing.Or at least it would be if they even had a clue as to what chipset was in that thing. The vague series number they have for the GPU has a huge range that could mean anything.
I actually lol'd at the "Can it run Crysis" part.

Thought it was a fun bit of speculation. People just hate because it's IGN. If Giantbomb did this I bet you wouldn't hear any complaints (from around here at least).If the GB crew did it, it would probably in jest, or at very least legitimately funny.
It was interesting. Obviously the new console will be optimized and games will be optimized to the optimized console (optimize is the word of the day) so this system will be no where near as good as the real system. But it was still interesting. Of course, on this site, it has to do with IGN and, therefore, a good number of people will automatically hate it.
In all honesty how much in terms of graphic power do you need for nintendo games? Look at Mario Galaxy. That game looks amazing and it's not even at 1080 nor with latest graphic hardware. I think whatever they're planning on using/ doing with that console it will be fine enough for nintendo and fine enough for 3rd parties to shell out more shitty games on.
i can't recall, but wasn't the X360 a pretty powerful machine back in 05?
