No, the Switch reveal made a difference.  The only the the NX ban did was curb content, contribution and traffic to the site. NX was the hot topic of the day, and discussion stagnated as posters couldn't start a discussion focused on a particular topic.   We're gamers, we like to over-hype things.

The Switch reveal, itself, made no difference. The NX Thread ban was already in place before it. That's where the changes happened.

If by changes you mean the further decline of posting activity to an all time low, yep, it did that.

But stop speculation?  That would have happened naturally with the Switch reveal.  Or do you think people would have been still speculating that it was going to have an AMD chip?  lol.
