I would have to assume there is some sort of non-compete clause between Nvidia and NiN in this case. NiN won't use Tegra to make a dedicated home console, and Nvidia won't use Tegra to make a handheld/hybrid.

Would it be possible that NiN and Nvidia are working together, and that the new Shield will be compatible with Switch and play NiN physical and digital games? Maybe Shield can run NiN's new OS? Nvidia is maybe pushing Shield games to Switch, and in return gets NiN games on Shield? (somehow, someway, NiN wins big in this deal regardless, whatever the scenario might be between them)

Maybe a new more powerful Shield is a proof of concept for NiN, to try and sell them on a dedicated Switch home console?

What's the point of a docking station then?

That would be NiN using their brand power. Nvidia wants to party with NiN, their going to have to bring the booze.

NiN could have just wanted to try and keep it's home console crowd they have now, as well as gain many mobile gamers, without losing any 3DS gamers. I can see Nvidia caving to this request. To add power to the dock probably would have been pushing it to far, but a simple AV dock, big deal.
