Please select the voting option that reflects your thinking and then whip up something in the comments.
Side note, re. Naming X box consoles. With series S and X they could treat them as consoles 4 and 5, when thinking about the next consoles name. I get they came in a generation after PlayStation and wouldn't want their consoles names to be one number behind their competition but I prefer numbers than subtitles like series x and. All this to say I think.....
Nintendo next console should be call Nintendo Switch 6

Everyone knows it's going to be the GameCube 2 Hypercube.
10 times more powerful than the XSX and come with an Atari Jaguar controller as that was universally loved.

Yes.
They're very clearly hinting that Quake 6 is coming. The bit where they teased Quake 6 is the giveaway imo

They're working with Nintendo, and the next Switch will be equivalent to 6 Gamecubes taped together

3x2 = 6

New successor to the 360, the Xbox 6120!
Almost as good as the Amstrad CPC 6128!

Just how deep does this development go?!?

When we started out with this investigation, I had no idea that Nintendo would be involved. But it's all starting to make sense now, Barnsy

This sounds like good advice, Jen.
Full strawb' would be too much.

More thinking that Nintendo could be involved in this; I'm beginning to wonder if it's proof that Xbox will publish cross-platform.

This is what we need; the inside track! Don't tell me... there is something big happening on 6 February, KK?

Tomous, you're a man who can get right to the heart of a story. I like the idea that the "secret" could have been in plain sight all of this time

The power of
six GameCubes?!? That kind of tech should not be in our hands; it could be too much to deal with

They're probably counting Quake Champions as Quake 5.

This is fantastic analysis, Zilnad! So... I think we're now in a position where some sort of time-travel element could be involved?
