Excitement about NatAmi

[HenryCase]

I expect that we will have to wait for one of the next generation of games consoles to get a peek - one of them is bound to stay with PowerPC.

The Wii 2/Project Café is due to be announced at this year's E3, which is at the beginning of June, so we've got less than a month to find out about Nintendo's next-gen plans. I've heard rumours that they're sticking with PPC:

01net also claims to know some of the technical specifications of the new console (translation from Develop): "CPU is custom IBM PowerPC with three cores, GPU should be an ATI from the R700 family, with a shader unit at version 4.1. RAM should be at least 512 MB."

Won't be long before we find out if this is accurate.

Whoa! That would be nice to hack. A big improvement the Wii. Might be a good base for a Linux hosted version of AROS.

And knowing Nintendo, it'll be software hackable within weeks of release.
