I'm not talking just about pure performance, I'm talking about side support from Nvidia as well. Can you imagine the shit show it'd be if they went with something like a Snapdragon 821 or an Exynos 8890? The software engineering on Nintendo's part would be way shittier and most likely not as easy to dev for from 3rd parties.

...And you could have retained the exact same support/software/tools from nVidia.

It's not the best SoC on the market.

I don't know the business backend but there is noway they didn't get some kind of deal in all this lol. Nvidia is pretty notorious about not giving out proper support outside of their own hardware other than physx for consoles which nobody even uses anymore. I'm surprised they even opened up physx for amd hybrid users in Windows 10. I don't think it's the fastest SoC when it comes to raw power, just good software support as usual, pretty much as good as you can get in this situation.
