I just found this on teh intrawebz:
So what do you think? Realistic?

Thats way too much internal memory for a Nintendo console. Im not saying they wont do it eventually but I dont think it will be this gen.
Wasn't it already said that it would only have 8GB internal storage and would use discs with a 25GB capacity?
I think it's best to ignore any such information found online until Nintendo makes their official announcement.This.
3 year old GPU? Doubt it.3 year old hardware's still pretty decent, at least on PC. Remember, this is "Make a profit on every console sale" Nintendo.
Hmm, Blu-Ray and a 350 gig hard drive? Yeah, call me suspicious of these specs.

Yeah, it's that time again when the internet will be filled with 90% useless speculation when it comes to console specs. Still always fun to see though.Absolutely! That's one of the things I enjoy most about E3; that rampant speculations, wish-lists and bold faced lies that pop up on the internet from "reliable" inside sources.

I can't wait until the mock-ups of consoles really start popping up, they were pretty decent last generation, even the horrible ones. Heck even early official designs were fun.

Photoshop.I've seen this posted a couple of times but does anyone know where this thing was originally sourced from?
:( only 320 gig hard drive. Come on guys 1T or up already.The largest 360 HDD you can buy is 250... Wouldn't you say 1TB is a bit overkill? Sure, maybe not 5 years down the line when SSDs are replacing HDDs, but now?
320GB? What do we need all that space for?
My 120GB PS3 slim still has about 80% free space, and there's a ton of useless crap on there.
Anyway, I doubt these specs entirely, I don't see Nintendo using Blu-ray, or any high-end hardware for that matter.
I think their "use cheap, outdated hardware and sell for huge profits" strategy has served them incredibly well.
Why would they suddenly do a complete 180?

I thought Nintendo already confirmed that it had 8 gigs of internal storage?
In any case, I am preparing for extreme confusion when this thing gets revealed. All of the hopes and dreams swirling around various message boards inferring that Nintendo will produce a console that will be more capable than the current generation - I can't wait until they announce a device with 512 megs of RAM and an 8 gig drive.
