I don't think it's a good comparison, the chart is about software not hardware sales. It should be of no surprise an 8yr old console that already built up a large library, install base, and still being supported is going to sell more software. I think software sales don't drop as fast as...

That is why I don't think it is Power7-based. Too much work and little "evidence" to support it. I believe the only times Power7 came up were from the twitter account(PR spin). "Watson" came from engadget and we all know how reliable they are. I also lean more toward Broadway rather than 476FP...

Well, i hadn't be following the rumors lately, but before VGleaks, there were two guys that mentioned Broadway. One was Arkam from gaf, he said the term "enhanced broadway" came from Nintendo themselves. Another guy on this thread, username espresso, said: If those guys were really devs or...

They said the same thing for the 3DS. It's most likely just for liability reasons. Anyway, I believe the CPU to be Broadway/ppc7XX based. For easier BC and because "enhanced Broadway cores" are the info they gave to developers. I see no reason they would use the term "Broadway" for cores that...

Just to let you know, IBM will use 45nm for the CPU, the press release link was in MDX's post. or here: http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/34683.wss

New report, old message: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-16-sumo-wii-u-graphics-on-par-with-playstation-3-maybe-even-better Pretty much what you guys already speculated, on-par to slightly better (pretty much still on par).

Ok, I was just basing it of the chart. I also expect them to atleast use faster DDR3, if they go this route.

Here is a newer BoM chart: http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/1461/q2msa.gif I wonder if you should also include power supply cost, perhaps about ~$15? ~$45 left to play with $12 2GB DDR3 $33 for CPU+GPU

Keep in mind that most power adapters and power supplys are designed to provides more peak power than what a device actually consumes. They are less efficient at near maximum watt and would most likely fail due to over heating. In the link you provide, power consumption was 53W total in...

Hi all, http://www.segatech.com/gamecube/overview/ 1 vertex color + 1 light + 1 texture20M polygons/sec no vertex color + 1 texture26.4M polygons/sec 1 vertex color + no texture (gouraud shading) 32M polygons/sec Nintendo said 6-12 Million polygons/sec real game.

Yup, UBIart Framework probably could probably do those. Using illustrator like programs with skeletal animation could that "hand drawn" look. http://ubi-art.uk.ubi.com/
