*UPDATE 2*
Fabian has backed up his statements on NX on his Twitter: http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=207803000
*UPDATE*
*Fabian Doehla was not joking when he referred to hearing devs being very excited for the NX, he works for CD Projekt Red and Sega, so whatever developers know, he is likely aware. Fabian also leaked the original Xbox in 2000 by accident, so those claiming he doesn't know anything are being presumptuous.
Interview about NX starts about the 7 minute mark below:

Here is the translation:
Rocket Beans TV Interview with Fabian
Mario Döehla CD Projekt Red's Studio Communications Manager
Host: What do you know about NX?
Fabian: It will be fantastic. As developer [CD Projekt] you
get access to the hardware and everybody [at CD Projekt] is looking forward. We
know things.
Host: Are you lying now?
Fabian: No, no.
Host: Sometimes I
cannot tell if you are telling the truth or not.
Fabian: No, no! It was like this in the past as the Wii
prototypes came in, back then called “Revolution”. It was so funny that in
Japan they were all very excited at the developer studios of SEGA, they thought
it was very good. The Europeans took a little longer. Like “Well, maybe this
doesn’t work”, you know, because it was technically just a GameCube. It was not
much more. But NX what you hear [of the developers] about NX is all very
positive.
Host: But the hardware will be much worse than the new
Xbox.
Fabian: I think this will never again be the main emphasis
in the future [for Nintendo]. Can it [NX] be better than the new Xbox? Take a
realistic point of view: is Nintendo able to build a console that has got more
power than Xbox?
Host: In theory it is possible.
Fabian: Affordable? Do they have the contacts to the
industrial facilities, resources… [Shakes head several times in denial] And
what would be the positive outcome? Who is going to develop games for it?
*They go on to talk about SNES, 32X, Dreamcast etc*……Fabian:
But anyway, I am really looking forward to NX.
Host: I see. But what kind of console will it be? Will it
be a handheld? Or…
Fabian: It will be spectacular!
Host: *Jokingly* Nah, you know nothing. I’ll have a look in
the chat.
Fabian: I’ll not make the mistake to reveal a console
again. Not at this time.
Host: But if – please in my show.
Fabian: If yes than with you tonight in your pool. [Talking about the pool and some private stuff. The Interview moves on in a different direction.]

I have a feeling that Fabian does know enough of the system to get a feel; but doesn't know every single little thing about it. And I betcha the developers who he mentioned feel the same way too. Besides; Fabian didn't leak anything of note out. All he said was: I have seen it and I and my developers love it. That's all I got out of this. So why are people suddenly claiming that he's joking about this? Other than because it contradicts their "Nintendo is always doomed" narrative. This crap is so old now; no one cares anymore.
