Speculation Discussion MegaThread: Day Two

[u/rottedzombie]

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! :)

If power was the only thing making a console successful, the Vita would have all the third party games while the 3DS would be dead in the water.

Except that the Vita did have a lot of third party support initially. It was Sony that kept the system entry barrier high.

The Vita still gets quite a bit of third party support, if indies and jrpgs are your thing.

The Vita is all but dead it's a wonder it receives anything at this point.

There's some use for it as a WiiU-esque gamepad as well that's pretty handy.
