Million page thread.
Will this be at 5pm california time as Oblivion suggested it might be? I figure its something like 3.30 there now... I'm in the UK and its 12:30am, I'm just wondering if I should stay up an extra hour and a half.

You like me, you really really like me!
we already know revolution isn't going to be as powerful as 360 and PS3, so why does everyone get so hyped up to learn the specs?
are there still any hardcore n-bots holding out hope for the impossible? :lol

To be honest if he keeps me up tonight for some shitty joke I'll be pretty pissed off myself.
From my parents basement I will stab at thee, Matt!

It was 5 PM pacific time last time, so hopefully once again. It'll give me time to get a bite to eat.
And for you Sonyphiles and Xbots, I don't expect the Rev. to magically be better than the other two, but I still am curious to hear info.

Nintendo invented the pixel...

I get the feeling that there far more higher than what he expected, but nothing to claim its an equal to 360/PS3 in any factor.(edit) Maybe matching in raw polygon performance.

"IGN to make more conservative claims based on dev kits they've gotten to tinker with for a few minutes with no software running."
Alright, I know they get serious insider info and do the digging, but IGN's word is being taken as absolute truth when not one other major news source (GameSpot, 1up, whatever) has come forth with anything similar, and now they're going to post "specs," which Nintendo has said they're not likely to release to the public this time around? Of course there's ways to find out, but if this was serious info (that could even potentially land them in hot water with Nintendo), would Matt be giving advance warning of it?

This timing is perfect. Surely Nintendo would have been divulging the final spec of the machine to devs at GDC, someone was bound to cough it up. I expect this to be 100% legit and kudos to Matt for the scoop.
He's a douche, but this is quite a scoop.
edit: there wouldn't be any backlash from Nintendo. No NDA, no backlash. Agressive reporting is just that. If his sources want to take risks, it's their problem, and they are the ones that should fear backlash.

Someone want to PM me when this whole thing is done and over with? I don't want to wade through the Photoshops and corny jokes and catchphrases and exclamation points, I just want to know what ends up happening.
Maybe we could set up a PM distribution list for after these cockteases.

I wonder why they think we need to know the specs.

IGN's previous information just so we all recall:
* At the time: "developers are still without final specifications for Revolution's ATI-developed graphics chip"
* 108MB RAM
* 512MB Flash RAM / saves & downloads, can be dipped into by games but can't be relied upon
* Quote from anon dev: "To be honest, it's not much more powerful than an Xbox. It's like a souped up Xbox, But it's the controller that makes the difference and the controller is really nice."
* No dev would or could talk about Hollywood
* Quote from anon dev: "As soon as we find out what it can do then we'll know if Revolution will just be like an Xbox or something a little more."
* Quote from anon dev: "We are looking at it quite differently. It's like another current generation platform for us. But it's such a nice controller that it opens up a lot of possibilities. It's very different and it's very precise."
Remember to compare and contrast what they were told before and what theyve been told now.

We already know the Revolution is a time machine.. perhaps they used it to steal future technology to deliver ps3 power at a low price point and small size so that they could still make a killing. :lol

I bet his info is 100% reliable because it has already been mentioned:
Spec released tonight, Revolution uses disks that can hold up to 9GB! Shock and awe.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
My bet is that the GPU will be a lot more impressive than people expect. Everything else will be normal... CPU... RAM... but the GPU will be the piece that Nintendo puts the most money into.
