WII was faked it was a gamecube running it??????

THE RECENT demonstration by Nintendo of its new Wii machine at the E3 show was all fabricated, according to the Nintendo insider forum.

Nintendo apparently was in a bit of a bind because it needed to make a good impression at E3, but it did not have a product. The ATI graphics card which will be a feature of the Wii is still in development.

The forum claims that the machine on show was just an empty box with a light on it. A large number of cables were seen coming out of the back which appeared to lead to a Gamecube.

The claim is that the Gamecubes were tinkered with to run a Wii development kit, with the signal routed back through a pretend Wii machine.

Should this prove true, it is amazing that no-one questioned why the Wii had such bad graphics for a second-generation machine. The US press who attended were probably too busy writing the press release up and cheering the presentation.

Looks like Nintendo would have got away with it, if he hadn't been for those pesky kids on the Nintendo Insider Forum.
