This A9X chip isn't even that expensive, it's pegged to cost about $38 to mass produce

Yeah, that chip does cost 38$ to mass produce. No, it doesn't just cost 38$. Apple iterated this chip for years, invested millions after millions and sold a alot of predecessor-chips to customers to get where they are at the moment. No way Nintendo could buy this chip with that high perfomance/low-power for 38$ per chip ;)
