Another round of Wii successor rumors - Codename 'Project Cafe', tech specs, camera talk and a big surprise
- codename is “project cafe”
- similar to the architecture of the 360, but a little more powerful
- easy to develop for
- controller has a standard single, 6-inch touch screen (not HD)
- similar to the Dreamcast VMU with ample storage capacity
- still a huge “surprise” about the platform to be revealed at E3
- 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
- GameCube backwards compatibility as well
- controller has a front-facing camera, D-Pad, two bumpers, two triggers and “possibly more”
- can allegedly be used as a Wii sensor bar
- due out June 2012 in Japan, holiday season elsewhere
