Hard to belive on the UE4 and the price is to high, other than that I would love multi touch on the screen or some other surprise.

If this is true, I'll buy two.

This would be too good to be true.
I'm calling it fake.

Isn't the directX the red herring that the rumored is false.

This seems a bit fantastical. If it was true, however, I'd be one happy Wii U owner.

The square has to do with the scanning objects thing. So fake.

You had me..... but then you said Vitality Sensor

This.

I love these rumor posts that sprinkle just enough bits that we know to be true (e.g., the Ubisoft slate of games) and bits that are very likely (e.g. a launch date of 23 November) to make them seem credible.

So that pre-installed software is World of Warcraft I am suspecting

direct x is owned and controlled by microsoft. not a chance

This.

If that was the case that the Wii U will have DirectX they should just change the name to DirectXbox.

Everything is fake until e3

FACT!!!

True or not I assume it would use (a costum) openGL 4, equivalent to DX11, just easier to give a reference as they are more or less the same thing, even if is just open GL 3.x (from 4850, like the first rumurs said) and DX10.

will its all fine and dandy if true about the price though i hopes its just 350 dollars but would like 300 price instead

Vitality Sensor is becoming the biggest punchline for Nintendo since Virtual Boy.

The Vitality Sensor is the biggest joke in the gaming industry since Giant Enemy Crabs

If this is true, I too would buy two. One for me and one for you!

This.
