Gamespot's take, from a few weeks ago... they're talking specifically about that pic there.

RUMOR #3: New pictures have surfaced of Nintendo's Revolution...sitting in someone's house!

Source: Gamebrink.com by way of the fine folks at Kotaku.

The official story: See below.

What we heard: With two of the three next-gen consoles already having emerged from their cocoons with near-final prototypes, only one's appearance still remains shrouded in mystery: Nintendo's top secret Revolution. Pictures of the enigmatic unit have been surfacing all over the Web since its announcement, and they have all but come with a huge "GRADE-A BOGUS" sticker on 'em. However, Nintendophiles have been doing some double takes recently, with new pictures of the Rev in someone's house. What's more, one of the pictures features the controller (which Nintendo has fashioned into THE gaming secret of the year) sitting at the unit's side--but it's been blurred out through photo-doctoring software. The second pic shows a much shinier Revolution from the front, with its mesmerizing blue LED-lit disc drive. It's unclear whether they are from the same source, but it's pretty obvious that they're both fakes (given what we "know" about the ever-evolving Revolution). The first picture shows a boxy four-cornered Revolution, but Nintendo's previous prototypes were designed to be propped up in a stand, which requires one of the corners to be "softened" (see pic 4). The second picture, in a perfect "Sasquatch-like blur," is clearly a transposition of Nintendo's head-on shots (see pic 5) of its prototype, right down to the soft-light glare.

Bogus or not bogus?: Put your pitchforks and torches down, the real Revolution will have to wait. Bogus.
