A fuzzy-looking image purporting to show the final specifications for Nintendo's "Project Café", the codename for the Wii's successor, has appeared on the internet.

The image was posted on a German gaming forum. The poster explained that he was sent the picture by his brother, who works at "a major German developer".

The image describes a console capable of 1080p resolutions with a GPU and CPU several times faster than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, and significantly more RAM. It would also, contrary to other recent rumours, have a built-in hard drive and use Blu-ray media.

Real or fake? That's unclear at this time, but there is less than a week remaining until Nintendo will be revealing all at E3, so we'll find out soon enough.
