Nvidia: Porting PS4, Xbox One, and PC games to Nintendo Switch is simple

Very, very doubtful.

Do you really think Nintendo will allow anyone else to get money from the uers their consoles? And that's not even thinking how would GeForce Now work when using the Switch as a portable outside of home.

Neh, they could make it work and strike a deal. As far as I am aware, GeForce Now doesn't work on PCs but only their shield devices so there aren't many users using it to begin with. Considering how there are hardly any new games, I think third party devs aren't very keen on developing for it due to the low userbase. So Nvidia basically has this tech which is sitting around and doing virtually nothing like their Tegra SoC. They can try to resolve that issue by giving Nintendo a portion of the money they will get from GeForce Now from Switch users which considering the low-dead install base the GeForce Now platform currently has would be a good reason to. 

Allow Switch users to use GeForce Now, give Nintendo a percentage and grow the platform instead of just letting it die. With that being said, I doubt it will happen but I do hope it does because it will help both of them. And it is a streaming service so outside, the Switch would need to connect to a wifi. I don't think its an issue since GeForce Now is avaliable on their tablets and portables and PS Now works with the Vita and there are rumors that it is coming to Android/iOS.

I think most ports to GeForce Now were made by Nvidia themselves, to showcase what the technology could do.

Still, I don't see Nintendo going for that.

Xbox and PS CPU's are the weak part, dread to think what it will be like on a tegra.

Core for core, the A57 CPU is actually faster than the Jaguar.

Even if the A57 are better than the Jaguars, we still don't know how many cores will the Switch have (I know rumors say 4) and how many will be reserved for the OS.

The PS4/X1 leave 6/7 cores to games. Asuming the Switch reserves one core for OS and other stuff, will the remaining 3 A57 cores be able to give the same performance in games?
