    You know… I never never thought to ask this before, but… Why did they go with nvidia on the switch?

    They had a long history with ATI/AMD providing graphics for their hardware before the switch. Isnt the Switch the only game console to be powered by nvidia?

      That could be why Nvidia wanted to have a partnership and made a sweet deal.
