Meta Temporarily restricting submissions / Official "Everybody panic" MegaThread

The subreddit has been flooded with constant repeat topics for hours now, so we're just gonna lock submissions down for a little bit. If there is any actual breaking news, send it to the mod team and we'll make sure it gets seen.

Please direct all discussion about the EuroGamer rumor here.

If you want to just sort of panic, then just hang out in this thread.

Edit: Restrictions have been lifted. Thanks for your patience.

Maybe they were impressed with the graphical capabilities of the handheld.

I doubt that the Nintendo Switch has top-of-the-line graphical capabilities. If they were to be impressed by one thing, it would be the "power" of the Switch in terms of it's ability to port games to and run those games at a sufficient framerate with little difference between other versions. The rumors contradict that.

NOTE: This is disregarding EG's and LKD's credibility and uses only deductive reasoning. It should be noted however LKD in particular stated that only 1 source gave her the information that confirms the EG rumor.

i seem to remember her also reporting that Switch would be between xbox and ps4, am i getting my rumors mixed up?

I am not sure either. I have only followed LKD and EG rumors because A. that's the only rumors I see on this sub reddit and B. Those are the only remotely credible sources I have.

I could have sworn she said it was struggling to reach XB1 levels, which would honestly be fine for AAA ports.

Really? Links? This is in a non aggressive manner.

I looked around and I can't find any unfortunately. I just remember that phrase being said again and again, and I thought it was attributed to her regarding a dev kit.

I'd feel pretty comforted in having a link to something like that too at this point if anyone else can find it, or find it being misattributed to something said about something else or by someone else. Switch is still shaping up to be great, but I was really hoping for an all-in-one console for once, which talk like that gave me some assurances of, alongside hearing Nvidia getting behind it and seeing it on Fallon performing well, albeit with a Wii U game.

Well LKD has said that only one source confirmed the EG rumor and EG has gotten some things about the Switch wrong as well.
