Nintendo Switch could keep evolving with Nvidia Tegra just like PS4 and PS4 Pro

Tbh if I was AMD I'd be a bit concerned because I could see this partnership being a long lasting one especially if NS becomes a big success as it gives Nvidia a nice foothold in both the console and portable space (I predict at least 20m NS units sold minimum if priced right) and a possible long term client for their mobile SOC. The partnership may end up enticing competitors giving AMD serious competition in the console market again.

1) Yes Nintendo are probably locked in with nvidia, if the switch is a success. It means The Switch 2 (in 2021?) will be a nvidia mobile chip too.  If the Switch doesnt do well.... nintendo goes back to 2 consoles approach and does a traditional console, probably useing a amd chip.

2) "The partnership may end up enticing competitors"... No way.  Its 4 years lateron, and 1/3rd the power.  Nintendo is Nintendo, they can make a system like this and sell it, but it would hurt MS or Sony if they did this.

Scorpio is going to be 6 Teraflops... rumors say Switch is 600-750 Gflops (when docked, less than that when not).

Scorpio could be 10 times the power of the Nintendo Switch (when docked).
