specs of saruwatari appeared in USA Today

So, maybe Saruwatari isn't wrong after all, but I hope that somebody can confirm these were the numbers that sitoshi posted originally.

"More rumours about a possible November launch date for Wii. Publishing an interview with NOA president Fils-Aime, USA Today posted the following spec sheet, including information about CPU and GPU clock speed, RAM and launch month:

Nintendo Wii
Processor: 729 MHz IBM Broadway
Graphics card: 243 MHz ATI Hollywood
RAM: 88 MB
Launch date: November 2006
Price: Under $250

In the interview itself, there is no mention of tech specs or a specific launch date, only this:

What can you tell us about timing and price?

We're well on our way to sharing all of that information with our retailers and our licensees. We'll be sharing that information publicly later on.

The tech specs are in line with what was to be expected and may well be real. November is the most likely month as well."

Wii won't be a powerful machine. The price will be cheap, it will be launched in the first wiik of November.

The Revolution is coming
