----------Welcome------------- NINTENDO 2012 CONSOLE ------------------------------ ------------------------------ CODENAME: CAFE TRADEMARK NAME: Wii U TRADEMARK RENAME: Rumored twice DATE OF PASTEBIN: 4. April 2012 /////////////////////////////// Introduction: This paste has been made specifically for quick linking to the important information, speculation and rumors other non-tech fans and people who have not been following this for the past 2 years. As well as to hamper down the wild and unfounded nooby speculation without any tech grounds or experience, as well as to eliminate doubt casted by fake and orchestrated rumors as well as BS claims by stupid developers who may not have been granted full picture of the project and still had old hardware kits. This paste might not have a lot of info on it self - but it's a kind of shortcut to all of the material there is out there - prepare for a ton of information - research and you'll see how wrong your views have been (if you were trolling and casting doubt on the system) This is something that media rarely reports on about - they are capitalist journalists they aren't tech experts - they have no idea to use their brains - they report on the hit pieces and the information that has been relayed, they don't make the news, they spread it. And sometimes they're spreading it with total recklessness and miscontext as well as with doubt because of their lacking ability to understand tech - sometimes fail to come to a correct assumption. Even if some rumor that is totally not true and everyone in the tech-world knows it's BS or april fool or just fake made from a 13old fanboy - the problem is, however stupid, the media still reports about it, so if one site starts to report on it - this somehow creates a shadow-belief, which means that the rumor appears to be more believeable just because a "high-profile" mainstream site has reported it - this makes other sites to report on it aswell and the chain reaction goes off - but the point of this is that they actually don't care about the accuracy of what's reported, they care about the pageviews and the drama the report caused to bring a lot of people reading their site and clicking their ads which gives them revenue. Some sites have respectable and educated editors - others are bullshitters - buy you need experience to notice and detect the difference - many gamers have little idea about tech - they might know terms and basics but you need to know a whole heck lot more to be able to get an idea of the industry and how it works to get anywhere near to make reasonable and accurate speculations and estimations as well as the skills to understand rumors and decipher company hints in their words. Understanding the rumors is a big thing - the context of them is very important, what my feel like something insignificant to a non-tech person might be a critical information for the tech community, sometimes rumors even make the oppisite effects when non-tech persons might be shocked in a negative way. Now you'll have to read through these on your own - before you begin you should know that the "wiiu weaker than ps360" are totally fake! April fool or intentional BS. ///////////////////////////////// -------------------------------- ///////////////////////////////// CONSOLIDATION OF RUMORS LINKS TO DEDICATED DISCUSSION SITES AND TECH-COMMUNITY EXPERTS ----------------------- NintendoWorldReport.com (dedicated wiiu forums) Rumor Consolidation 2011 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=16688.msg676207#msg676207 Rumor Consolidation 2012 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=16688.msg719084#msg719084 ----------------------- Neogaf.com (dedicated wiiU threads - tech experienced individuals - developers and high-profile industry people might post as well) Thread1: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=434824 Thread2: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459256 Thread3: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=466196 ----------------------- beyond3d.com (tech forums and hardcore tech community - very strict forum rules) Speculative Look on WiiU GPU: http://www.beyond3d.com/content/news/783 Article Thread: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=60501 ----------------------- thewiiu.com (forums and rumor reports /confirmed news articles) Forums: http://thewiiu.com/forum/4-wii-u-hardware/ Sister sites: WiiUblog: www.wiiublog.com (rumor/news reporting) WiiUgo: www.wiiugo.com (rumor/news reporting) ----------------------- gonintendo.com (major nintendo fansite) Rumor section: http://gonintendo.com/?c=5
