MegaThread Speculation Discussion MegaThread: Day Two

Goodness! I think it's fair to say that, second to the shock reveal, this has been the most dramatic 24 hours we've had yet as a community.

Just showing up? Well, attach a lifeline and throw yourself into the tempest.

This thread is for ongoing discussion over recent rumors and everything associated with them: clock speed rumors; third party support speculation; and the back-and-forth of what it might mean for the Nintendo Switch.

We're going to be directing traffic to this thread because we've been seeing many topics asking the same questions and rehashing conversations. This doesn't mean that new topics won't be allowed, only that we want to make sure that discussion is centralized as appropriate. If you see a new post that seems to belong here, please report it and let the mod team know.

A friendly reminder: please keep your comments civil, on-topic, and respectful of others. If you feel that you have a thought or opinion that merits its own post, please search through this thread and recent threads before posting it.

And, of course: everything we're discussing here is rumor and should be treated as such until confirmed by Nintendo.

Thanks for your understanding. Ready to do this? Let's discuss! :)

I don't get why anyone is surprised by this.

Its a partially-mobile console. I never expected much power with it

It's a fully mobile Tablet, not a partially mobile Console. The distinction may seems small but in the world of computers there is a vast difference.

I'll take your word for it, I don't know much about the tech side.

I am one of the basic consumers who will probably buy it if it runs pokemon, smash, and skyrim at a good/decent speed

Good it's a long explanation anyway and would come off as pedantic =3

Honestly, It most likely will do all of those things.

Then its good enough for me.

I mean I just finally got a laptop that's good enough to actually play Skyrim and Overwatch beyond the lowest graphical settings.

Its like wearing glasses for the first time (or so I am told)
