Clearly, this is a case of PR. But, there is nothing insidious or misleading about it.

Nvidia is going to positively promote the product of their partnership with Nintendo as evidenced by their forward thinking (anything that involves at least a ten year plan). They want a long term partnership that will give them a permanent place in the console and portable space, rather than as an OEM parts supplier playing for bids with each new hardware generation against AMD. They clearly did not want to play that game, which is how SCE and MS ended up with AMD chips powering their consoles.

Naturally, the first thing to come to mind with the Switch was the Nvidia Shield, but that serves as a streamer for Nvidia GPU powered gaming PCs rather than a dedicated, independent gaming device with its own software ecosystem (sorry, Android support doesn't really count). Switch gives them a partnership stake in Nintendo's ecosystem.

Could you elaborate on that?

What's the difference between Android and a Nintendo OS which will be most likely based on Android.
