Even if it isn't it will be kind of weird having 2 handhelds that are close to, or even surpass if this turns out true, Wii in terms of "processing capabilities".

better looking Titles like MW2 and Mass Effect render at 720p or below

On my ps3 MW2 runs at 1080...
Really? Confirmation?

Just because the cable at the back of your tele is HDMI 1080p, doesn't mean games render at that.
Whenever I play MW2, it doesn't change to 720p, like when I play Little Big Planet, it actually switchs from 1080p from the hub to 1080p when I play MW2. I'm sure my television wouldn't tell me a blatant lie.

We should interrogate it.

How in the world are they going to fit such heavy stuff into such a tiny thing.Even if they do manage to make it and fit it in a pocket the price is definitely going to be exorbitant.

If this is true the size is going to be the minimum the size of the DSi XL and Nintendo better make the 3DS as fun as the previous generations.

MW2's native resolution is 600P, your ps3 or 360 just upscales it to 1080p

Well if they want to make it 3D and have superior graphics to the DS, they need to make it more than twice as possible (about gamecube without 3D). Probably not too realistic to say PS3/360 power, but yeah.

I just dont see why nintendo would do this,they already have the money making formula of making consoles/handhelds for relatively cheap and selling at cheaper prices than their competitors.Why would would they change it now?

I dont see any thing wrong with changing the formula every now and then. Especially if not by that much. and besides when they first started with the DS they said it would be able to create games that had the capabilities of the n64, but most of it was shovelware. About 5-7% was of that quality and about 3-5% was made by their 1st party companies.

Maybe they want to escape the way the games are just so easily made and released on their handhelds.

A year ago I read an article, that stated a cellphone with ps3 graphics wouldn't be possible for 10 years. Not w/o seriously drain the battery and over heating every 5 mins anyway. They did say a O-xbox/wii would be possible within 1-3 years though. I bet it's processing power is between the cube and wii, but closer to the wii. However with the 3d in use it be powered down to closer to the cube.

That is not possible.
Its possible all right, at a mega price.

One noone will be willing to pay.
It's not possible within the thermal envelope and low power requirements of a handheld.

Period.


Tell me: conceivably what processor can they throw into it? No ARM chip is as powerful as what's in the 360 or PS3. No x86 chip can meet those power requirements, even the new ULV 32nm processors from Intel. No IBM chip can either. And what about the GPU? You need something about as powerful as a Geforce 7800 in there. How the hell are you going to cool it?

Fans?

Look, when I say it's not possible, I mean it. At least not literally nearly as powerful as the PS3/360.

The Tegra 2 is a multi-core ARM Cortex paired with a nice GPU, which is realistically still much slower than either of the current generation HD consoles. It can do HD output via HDMI or something, sure, but it sure can't render a complex game of that caliber in 720p.

BULLLL lol there is nooo freakin way hahaha wtf will they do with that kind of processing power if its not even hd (lol 1080p 4 inch screen) yeah if this was true it would cost like >$9000.

I'm guessing/hoping for gamecube graphics, which would be awesome for a handheld
