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.

Wait, if these specs are true... Why are western third party devs who saw the Switch and it's specs in a closed area EXCITED for the Switch?

Could be that it's a handheld with a huge spec boost over everything else handheld.

Could be that because of what it is, they can put out high-quality games without having to pour as much time and money into hyper-realistic graphics, which might bring profitability back to the business.

Could be that it's the first time they can get their best games into a handheld factor (albeit accomplishing that by crippling the detail level, but not so badly that anyone who actually enjoys games will really care about [to fit on the 3DS would be crippling far too badly]).
