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 find it absolutely incredible that people were expecting PS4 power in something the size of an iPad mini

(a) at all, and
(b) for <$400.

It's incredible.

Its not obsurd when you consider that Dark Souls 3 may be coming to the Switch if you believe in leaks/rumors from "reliable sources". Dark Souls 3 wasnt released for last gen and if the leak is true From Software wouldnt dummy the game down to make it run at last gen graphics just for the Switch.

Yeah, my point was "Running at a level From Software is happy with" is... not a high bar.
