The "Xenoblade" theory is by a large margin the least probable. Why would they delay support for hundreds of games for the potential of a single game not working? And what if they can't get Xenoblade to work? Do they just call it quits?
It would be one thing if they were developing a hardware card that couldn't be modified further once released. If that were the case, yes, wait and see what happens. You want to release a card that has the most compatibility, especially if it can't be updated. But we're talking about software updates. That can be released any time, daily if need be. Release it now, release it 4 months from now, release 50 different updates, it doesn't change anything.
By the same logic, it would be nonsensical for them to release 9.5 emunand support because they know 9.6 is right around the corner. Why release anything at all if you know there's always the possibility of it being outdated? That's the ENITRE REASON behind the future proof logic of gateway, and it's the entire reason your theory is mentally bankrupt.
