It appears Nintendo chose the Tegra 1 over cost. Supposedly nVidia gave them a sweetheart of a deal on them. I suspect the Wii and Wii U also had their power plants chosen over cost.

Indeed. Cost may have been a factor. But they still could have opted for a Pascal powered chip for a minimal cost.

How do you know the price difference would have been minimal?

Where are all those smartphones and tablets with a superior Pascal-SoC? With a competitive price, size and TDP there should exist some products in small form factors by now.
