Link to the Future
Main points from the article
"Project Cafe" will be slightly more powerful than ps3/xbox (I think this is more realistic than 'miles more' powerful as Nintendo won't want it to be very expensive).
It will have similar architecture to xbox360, a custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores, a GPU from the ATI R700 family with a shader unit at version 4.1, and at least 512Mb of RAM. (sounds reasonable)
compatible with wii and gamecube games - and all wii accesories. (makes sense to me)
"The controller has a six-inch touch screen, a front-facing camera, D-Pad, two bumpers, two triggers and "possibly more," and can allegedly be used as a Wii sensor bar" (this all seems a bit much - and expensive!)
There will be another 'big surprise' at e3.
Apparently, the source is the same that leaked the NGP details early.
I don't know about all this. everything seems reasonable enough (except the controller - if they won't out a HD screen in the 3DS then I doubt they'll put one in a controller) I'm just not convinced we'll be getting a new console this soon. If we do I will defintiely be excited (though in the minority it seems)
