Nvidia actually offered a more capable SoC to Nintendo for the Switch. They offered them a Pascal based SoC for not much more than the X1. Nintendo opted to save a few pennies. For good or ill, Nintendo's cost conscious nature is why they dated back to the 19th Century.

Do you have a source for Nvidia offering Nintendo a stronger chip for not much more? I'd love to get some details.

I'd heard it more than once. I'd have track down the specific video on Moore's Law Is Dead's youtube channel. It wasn't the subject of the video. It came up in passing. Unfortunately, it was one of his 2 hour pod cast videos where interviews a developer, software engineer, or some other person in the tech space.
