Their leak of the Vita's RAM reduction turned out to be false.
Oh and I was wrong about the wireless E3 demonstrations. Looking back on them, it turns out that they were wired, so that could be true (but really? It can't be a problem with just one tablet. They can't have been stupid enough to unveil a system when they're not even sure if the core concept actually works!)
Still, it's very possible that they could be being fed bullshit information, like what happened before with the supposed Vita RAM cut.

Indeed. It's conceivable that some employee, disgruntled by Wii U's dev kit issues, decided to leak this anonymously in order to perhaps send a message to Nintendo. "Up the ante so we can give proper support to the system day 1 this time around."
Many of us on these boards were expecting a small delay anyway, and September is historically a good month to launch a console. This news is nothing to get overly worked up about. At least consumer units have not gone into production yet. Any problems identified now still have time to be worked out.
No idea about the site and their sources, but a few things to say about what's been brought up in this thread.
Third-parties saying how awesome Wii U is - of course they're going to say that. Do you not pay attention to hardware reveals? Developers always talk up new hardware, unless they're stupid / brave enough to screw over their relationship with the company before they see how successful the hardware is. Devs talking up the Wii U at E3 means nothing.
Everything working fine at E3 - you're talking about small demos made specifically for the show, not actual games in real-world situations. We also don't know what's changed about hardware / OS / dev kit plans since then, and any number of things that have happened could be causing these rumored issues. Just because something works at E3 doesn't mean anything. When you've got something to show at a trade event, you do everything you can to make sure that what small piece you're going to show is working enough to instill confidence. Happens all of the time with other types of tech hardware and software.

wired controllers worked at E3 and where shown with games playing using them, in fact I don't know how the wired controller is supposed to not work; regardless, unless they made it worse that before, I don't know how this source is credible.Fourth Storm said:

[QUOTE='[Nintex]Game Informer and IGN then went stupid with speculations about GTAV at E3(not true)[/QUOTE]
Technically IGN and Game Informer only speculated that GTAV might be coming to the Wii U because of this article by 01net of which we've seen no evidence of whatsoever.

It seems like the more info we get on the console, the more it sounds like an absolute disaster. It will be cheaper than the 720, but that advantage won't last, and it might not be exciting enough for many gamers to buy a system to play ports of games they played 1-2 years ago.

Evilore wants new threads for new news.
Quick, dump your Nintendo stock!
Will be interesting to see whether anything of this is true.
My opinion of the Wii U controller is that Nintendo is hoping to sell this as a tablet for 250bucks (or whatever the price will be) which plays Mario compared to the iPad which sells for more. (My conclusion from their E3 presentation which focused solely on the controller).
Looking forward to the next two articles. What else can they bash in Nintendo? The eShop?

Just to go on the record and say I agree that these rumors are BS and just because some website got something right before does not imply nor mean that this has any weight whatsoever but I doubt sony has anything to do with this.

The biggest leap for the rumors is that every correct rumor 01net has posted has been something Ubisoft would know.
These, however, come from a "Nintendo insider," are being leaked over five days for some reason, and some are things Ubisoft would not necessarily know.

Well, if these rumors continue to be proven false with no shred of evidence the source should be banned. instead of not having new threads for rumors maybe the sites that post them will be banned instead? After all, if the site isn't credible in their rumors why waste time and hits on a site?
I do believe that rumors have their place here at NeoGAF but consistantly wrong sources do not.
