kudos showing class on this.

hope you'll enjoy the machine and Nintendo can make the best they can on it :)

Here's the thing that I don't get. 

I think we all remember this picture from when the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer dropped and some official info was finally announced.  This is the strongest list of third party developers Nintendo has ever had. Now I know a lot of you might see it and immediately think of responding something like "That list doesn't mean anything until we see games from those developers on the system" or you might be thinking of referencing the Wii U list of third party developers that was shown years ago at its reveal, but the thing is that Wii U list was nothing compared to this list. 

The reason I am showing this is because I feel like it contradicts with how weak these specs are saying the Switch will be. Look at developers like Bethesda, who were quoted not too long ago saying that they WOULD support the Switch if it was AT LEAST as powerful as the Xbox One.

So if the system is truly as weak as these specs are saying it will be, why does this system have the strongest supporting list of developers than any other Nintendo console, I would figure it would be one of the worst if that was the case. ESPECIALLY Bethesda after what they said about supporting it only if it's as powerful as the Xbox One.

Now I know this is all just rumour and we won't know officially until January, but this just doesn't really add up. I'm also not saying that this can't possibly true, it could easily be considering Nintendo's history of cheaping out on hardware for their systems. But a lot of developers like From Software and Bethesda didn't support the Wii U because of how underpowered it was, so why would it be a different situation this time if the Switch were to be significantly underpowered yet again? 

Added in with all the reports of people saying that the Switch shouldn't have problems running third party games and that they're easy to port not only from Emily Rogers but even Nvidia said it themselves. This just doesn't really seem to make sense unless Nintendo has managed to convince third parties to support their system despite it being underpowered or something, maybe that is the case, but i'm highly skeptical of that considering developers like Bethesda and what they've said in the past.

Yeah. I never expected the Switch to reach PS4 level of power (though that would be amazing and is surely possible, but it would be an expensive system, which Nintendo most likely wants to avoid) but I always felt like close to or a little bit under Xbox One level would be fine and reasonable considering this is a portable and home console.

All reports thus far have made it clear that while it won't be as powerful, it will still be easy to port to and run ports on, so the system SHOULD at least be powerful enough to get third party games from the PS4 and Xbox One, which Digital Foundry's report seems to contradict with if these specs they are reporting on are true, which would mean that Emily Rogers and even Nvidia themselves that made the hardware were either wrong on that maybe the Switch is really weak but still somehow able to get ports? I don't even know. This should all be cleared up once the January event arrives in a few weeks from now. 

It makes no sense for that to be the biggest list of developer support Nintendo has ever had, which the Wii U never even came close to in terms of support, if the Switch was truly just going to be significantly underpowered again, especially from developers like Bethesda who made it very clear they would only ever support the Switch if it was at least Xbox One level of power. Unless Nintendo worked out a deal with third parties or something. I expect the Switch to be weaker than both, hopefully close to the Xbox One, but not as weak as these specs are making it seem to be considering all the amount of developer support it has. 

In my opinion, this 3rd party picture means nothing. Support can mean just 1 game. Bethesda could just try the waters with Skyrim and then abandon the console. The same for the others.

I don't think you get the point...

It is not about being disappointed or not it is about pre-ordering something based on made upunlikely expectations (referring to the power of the Switch being equivalent to the Xbox One or even the Play Station Four); and then being "shocked" and cancelling it because it is not :)

So yes, I really think that it is weird to base your pre-order on very unlikely speculations and even weirder to be that disapointed by it when it comes to be official. And as far as the Switch I would expect people to be hyped for it for the games and the modular hardware and portability... Not the power...

Now, not sure why you are talking about being "allowed" or not. Who is disallowing you to do anything here?
If you need a forum post to allow you or disallow you to do something, it may be a good time to stop using the Internet :)

The thing is that Eurogamer, Emily Rogers and Laura Kate Dale have become god of rumors. Everything they say is instantly true. It's hard to doubt them though since they got the Switch reveal teaser all right.

It's still a rumor until it's 100 % confirmed but some people will always jump the gun fast.
