PS3 - 3.2GHz Cell Processor ("8" cores), 256MB RAM, 256MB GPU RAM, 500MHz video card similar to GeForce 7800. Again, computers of 2011 are significantly improved.
What exactly makes you think Nintendo cannot make a budget system with better specs considering today's computers?
Also, many tablets are introducing dual core processors. I imagine the controller isn't as expensive to produce these days as it might have been 5 years ago.

Oh I could be talking out of my butt. I just based it on the physical size of the console that Nintendo showed, which is about the same size as the Wii. From what I understand Nintendo doesn't like to lose money on it's consoles. So I doubt it's cutting edge and Nintendo will take a loss with the sales. They were making money day one when the Wii came out. I am guessing they will do the same with a similar price as the Wii when it came out. It is possible to fit the appropriate components into such a small device and keep the price low? If they could won't the redesigned 360 and PS3 be a lot smaller? Plus I thought the stuff showed off didn't look as good as the 360 or PS3 stuff.
