| Soundwave said: Tegra X2 was not an option if they were aiming for a holiday 2016 launch, which is what I'm pretty sure Nintendo was trying for. Iwata's death (possibly) and typical software delays at Nintendo caused a small delay into 2017, but that was never the intended launch date even if it worked out well for Nintendo. |
Software delays is a poor excuse. I feel like that's a strawmans argument now.
The Switch's OS and Software stack is far from fully fleshed out and mature anyway... And it's derived from Android, leveraging nVidia's Software stacks, so it's not like the effort was all on Nintendo at any rate.
Not to mention allot of the software, API's and drivers that work with Maxwell based tegra also... *drum roll* works on Pascal based Tegra. Funny that.
Thus it shouldn't have been a hindrance with the SoC choice.
