Well sure it's not concrete confirmation but pretty much tacit confirmation because they could have easily said, 'the rumors are wrong' or 'the Revolution is quite a bit more powerful than what has been released'. But they didn't. So why not? Because it's true?
Well, not trying to be a rumor-monger, but you might get at least part of your wish:Ingenu said:I still think many people don't want "just a NGC on steroïd", and want something more.
I still want a 970MP@2GHz, with (now) an RV530 with embbed framebuffer, and 256MB of RAM

You are right.

That is completely subjective, I completely agree with Ingenu, from now we need much more GP power than gfx, even with the specs just double the VMX units and take off the Avivo/crossfire to put edram (with should be enought for 3mgs at least, but I think that is not enoght for AA or/+ HDR).

IMO it says nothing about this, or it says we will need to wait for better sources for (des)confirmation.

See their ~2 weeks news for the CPU -DualCore-
Now see at the end of that article.
(BTW see my previos post about this too
)You've missed the point there, this isn't a response to any rumours or anything in particular AFAICS. It looks like the same old pre written reply that everyone gets if they write an email to Nintendo with the words "Revolution, Power or HDTV" in the title or body. So no I wouldn't expect it to say anything about rumours or info that has been released lately. Hopefully we'll see some direct questions asked of Nintendo soon.

I don't think so considering IGN writes at the top of the letter:
Which seems to imply (at least from IGN's perspective) that the two (early spec release and this letter) are related. That said, you could very well be correct, it might just be a form letter written not in response to any event in particular and this could easily be proven if you know when this letter first started going out. That is, if the letter started going out before the release of specs, then you're likely correct. If, however, the letter only started circulating after the release, then at best it's coincedental.

Given that everything in the letter is just a restatement of things Nintendo has been saying since at least TGS, I'm gonna go on a limb an dsay it's not a specific response to the Current Unpleasantness.
If there is anyone interested, (meybe/probably(?) fake but it is much more inline to what we expect (and revogaming.com rumors ), anyways it should appear more sites like that (fake or not) in the next months...

[QUOTE If you know the specs you will become so confused, because you would think there's no posibility Revolution is able to perform visuals of the level you will see with the given specs.][/QUOTE]
Just to give another insight, do/think what ever you want, I do like more of this version .

I like that insight. But I question this.
So is B3D so stupid that if he or Nintendo gave us the specs, we couldn't figure it's position of power?

Yea, could very well be then. Of course then I don't understand why, if Nintendo has been saying this all along, any are surprised that the Revolution just might have low specs.
pc999,
Good find. It will be interesting for sure to see what we really are looking at then.

New, Nintendo patented techniques for efficiently producing high-end visuals at lower resolutions, perhaps?
One aspect, the third revolutionary aspect of Big N's next console, is still shrouded in mystery. Most believe it will focus on how we "see" the games visuals, as we already have a new way of interacting with them control-wise.
An interesting thing to note is the Nintendo patent for viewing gameplay outside of the realm of a static camera angle (uncovered by IGN many months ago). How they plan on doing this may just be the revolution we are trying to uncover. As the name of the console implies, we may just be able to "revolve" around or within the game while playing it, meaning that how we view the game will be dependent on our physical positioning. Now this truly would be a revolution...3d interaction within 3d space.

That was linked twice on the previous page of this thread.jvd said:
I'm not so sure about the patent. It just looks like a software method of moving the camera around without changing fixation points. I doubt that it'll really prove to be a vastly revolutionary way of playing games.

What we know doesn't tell us much which is frustrating, GPU is still a mystery. Developers are guessing its a souped up Flipper. Both of the IGN articles sucked.

even IGN doesn't know what the true capabilities of the Hollywood GPU are - they are only able to talk about development-kits with faster Flippers, which are probably a long ways off from final hardware.
