Most of the SW2's performance issues are from its CPU bottleneck.

Nintendo really should free up the CPU allocations dedicated to Gamechat or at least give users the option while still requiring developers to target 30fps for when Gamechat is on.

Gamechat is a useless feature for many of us.

Edit: Pragmata and the Resident Evil games probably could get closer to their 60fps targets with an extra CPU core. 

I feel the same with all consoles.  Whatever resources social features take, let me turn them off.  Never used them, never will.

They probably will do that over time. Honestly the amount of people who use Gamechat is maybe 5% of the userbase and that's likely being generous (especially once you have to pay for it). It's fine to have for fun/social Nintendo games, but really how many people are using Gamechat to play a game like Pragmata or Resident Evil 9? It's likely a very, very small group.

Or at least give consumers the option of turning it off in some games if you're not using it to increase performance.
