lol. So because you found some randoms on the internet that you trust as sources, I should automatically trust because you claim they're industry insiders? Just because they might know people in the industry that tell the stuff before announcements (Which, by the way, I qualify as one of those people, as I have friends and former colleagues in over a dozen major development studios across the world that have told me about plenty of projects they actually trust me not to talk about) doesn't mean your sources know whether or not certain projects have been canned or shelved or why they were canned or shelved. Furthermore, they didn't actually say that games like GoD or GTA V were in development and canned/shelved based on that thread. One of them claims to know a person at THQ Nordic. Not sure how that person would know any more about GTA V on Switch any more than one of my sources at EA Bioware would. Would you care to tell me how they would know that?
Finally, it makes absolutely no sense. For one, Nintendo has funded entire games (hello Bayonetta!) mostly in an effort to change the perception of the kinds of games that appear on Nintendo's platfforms. They could easily eat the difference in cost of 32 GB cartridges for GTA V if that was the only thing stopping the game from coming out on the Switch. Secondly, Rockstar would know about the cartridge costs before they even started the project, so they would have had to have been comfortable with the cartridge prices before they started full development, which means there's no way there's an finished game just sitting there waiting for cartridge prices to come down. Thirdly, Rockstar makes the vast majority of their GTA V money on in-game purchases. Like hundreds of millions of dollars a year just on shark card purchases. I highly doubt they wouldn't be willing to take a smaller cut on game sales (that is even lower than the drop in cut they get when the game goes on sale) to forfeit that sweet in-game purchase gravy on yet another platform.
You argument makes absolutely zero sense. So if your "insiders" are peddling this, then you're putting your trust in the wrong people, and embarrassing yourself even further by insisting that others should trust them as well.
... so how much of that swampland do you want? My inside source told me that my prices are the best out there, and trust me, they know what they're talking about.

I don't know why you or others continue to bother with Miyamtoo, just look at the nonsense he wrote about the switch/NX early on, passing fiction as fact. That's what he does best.

Nonsense I wrote about switch/NX early on? :D
That's interesting, because I am one of few people that from start was saying there are good chances that NX will be some kind of hybrid. Words are cheap, when you accusing people than gave a proof "that I passing fiction as fact".

Ya it's best to take any leaks with a grain of salt, even the insiders with the best track records get things wrong or at least partially wrong from time to time.

It's totally different thing to take something with grain of salt and calling those leaks crazy rumors, especially when we talking about insiders with the best track records. And offcourse no one said those are 100% accurate things, we still talking about rumours.
