Now, more than ever, it seems like Nintendo's choice to ditch x86 and go exclusively for ARM for it's both, it's home console and its handheld, is a forward thinking move. With Apple pulling off an impressive feat with its first ARM-based Mac-based laptops, big and small developers have thrown their weight behind Apple, including MS, so much so that it makes the 2 years timeframe set Tim by to ditch Intel seems generous. This is great news for the Switch and Nintendo's future consoles and handhelds in general, as ARM seems to be the next generation architecture for desktop PCs, and many PC manufacturers will embrace it.
I believe soon enough, Nintendo won't be the odd one, on the contrary, the question will be when MS and SONY will follow suit.
