>A portion of a VentureBeat interview with Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang...
>VB: There was a day when it seemed like you were happy with just serving the PC gaming market. The console was a less attractive market. I wonder why you guys went after the Nintendo Switch, and how you accomplished that.
>Huang: In the case of Switch, it was such a ground-breaking design. Performance matters, because games are built on great performance, but form factor and energy efficiency matter incredibly, because they want to build something that’s portable and transformable. The type of gameplay they want to enable is like nothing the world has so far. It’s a scenario where two great engineering teams, working with their creative teams, needed to hunker down. Several hundred engineering years went into building this new console. It’s the type of project that really inspires us, gets us excited. It’s a classic win-win.
>3.5GB >Woodscrews >Housefires >Nvidia in charge of "ground-breaking design"

>He's a shill!!
You guys sre right in this case.
Jordan Lopez
But will it make fire?
Hunter Russell
It's a shill article, but the fact that they're betting hard on it is kind of interesting. They never fucked with either big console makers and their own "consoles" flop hard.
Aiden Bennett
PR talk.
James Fisher
So in this case PCfags have LITERALLY been beta-testing hardware for consoles? THANKS FOR BETA TESTING PCFATS
Leo Fisher
Didn't they shill the Wii U too
Aaron Carter
>Several hundred engineering years went into building this new console.
Wew lad
Charles Cook
no, since nvidia hasn't been involved in console gpus since the PS3, and never with nintendo (unless you count the tegra 3DS prototypes)
Robert Peterson
>console. that's the keyword user
Sebastian Thompson
Pretty sure it's not made by Samsung.
Blake Fisher
Guess not then, I remember some guy from a game related company was shilling the Wii U though.
Austin Sanchez
I guess everyone forgot about our teh Sega Nomad
Stoopid bebes
Ayden Barnes
if that was the case why wouldn't they show it lol
Jeremiah Long
My thoughts are that the d-pad looks like garbage.
Samuel Morales
Then buy the pro controller?
Austin Nelson
Can't be worse than the 360 controller.
Henry Richardson
Because it has to function as face buttons as well. Thankfully the pro controller exists.
Caleb Lewis
That gimmick was the dumbest idea. No one's gonna use those baby controllers.
Kayden Morris
It's just a simple compromise for multiplayer, you're not forced to use it.
James Wood
>buzzwords
I know Nintendo wil probably cut his nuts off if he gies concrete details but come one.
Kayden Perez
I'm forced to live with the compromise for handheld mode.
Hunter Young
Why would it be an issue in handheld mode?
Alexander Stewart
user maybe you never buy nvidia cards but you will see when you the that shitty console called the switch
Dominic Cook
The compromise here is face buttons as d-pad.
Jonathan Turner
we....... we did it nintenbros...... literally shaking and crying right now reading this news.......
Jace Young

Colton Harris
You can use the pro controller in handheld mode.

Joseph Ramirez
Don't believe a word of it. There's nothing that gets Jen-Hsun Huang's dick harder than the sound of his own voice praising how great his company is.
He is a gigantic faggot whose desperately trying to keep his company relevant despite the fact it will fade into obsolescence within 15 years.
The desktop PC market is in huge decline as everyone moves toward mobile, multifunctional devices that are "good enough". Eventually nvidia will not be able to keep up with AMD and intels power effiency and performance gains as they fully integrate the CPU & GPU, which means the small amount of mobile share nvidia have will be lost. Nvidia will never be able to do this as they will never acquire an x86 license. No one will want to use or code for their expensive & proprietary CUDA tech as cheaper, open platforms that are easier to develop for and everyone supports take over.
I'm looking forward to watching Nvidias slow and painful death.
Isaac Gray
nvidia is btfo from amd getting all the other contracts. so much so they canceled their tablet upgrade to get the account. nvidia cucked by nintendo.
Aiden Cox
Fuck off, tripfag.
Oliver Allen
Depending on the Tegra, it could be pretty powerful.
Nintendo poured over 500 million into Research and Development. I would assume they're pulling out all the stops.
Ayden Gray
Too bad you dad didn't pull out.
Christian Roberts
You clearly have insider knowledge.
Tell me things.
Zachary Foster
No you cant, not when your out and about anyway
Oliver Diaz
Too bad your mom doesn't swallow
Christopher Mitchell
>you dad
Isaac Myers
I do know this, every company that works with nvidia in any capacity eventually comes out and says they are the absolute worst company in the world they have ever worked with.
Isaac Ortiz
Are you retarded, yes you can.
Christian Reed
They're pulling out all the way, from the console market.
Nintendo blew it and are basically done with the console market. That's fine of course except that they're trying to release a tablet that can only play games into a market of tablets that can do waaay more shit than just games. Granted, the switch will be a lot more powerful than your typical android tablet or iPad but if this is their grand plan for the future eventually it will get to a point where they won't be able to actually compete with regular tablets anymore.
Carson Rodriguez

This stupid bullshit again?

Parker Williams
you have to realize tablet games are garbage. nintendo still makes good games. no matter how much you hate nintendo you have to give it to them for making innovative games.
Kayden Brown

It's Nintendo, they will release a ton of different joycons for easy money.
Angel Johnson
How many times will you fucking morons repeat this shit before you realize the definition of insanity is repeating things over and over again and expecting a different result?
Asher Moore
Didn't realise nintoddlers were in this much denial
Just look at what market this product is in and how they are positioning it. That tells you a lot about how Nintendo plan to move forward as a company.
Cameron Lopez
truth be told all out would have been a console with hardware that blew sony and ms out of the water, all of their most beloved franchises coupled with said power would have been awesome
instead we got tabby mongo dog
Kayden Morris
What? The Pro Controller is its own thing, it doesn't split and attach to the screen.
Michael Long
>Just look at what market this product is in and how they are positioning it.
Hybrid console.
Joshua Russell
>Nintendo has fucking assloads of cash >Last year had more money than Sony itself >Nintendo has been insanely successful with their hardware and software >Wii U was actually profitable for them, they lost no money on the Wii U, any other company would be dead in the water with the Wii U >NES Mini is selling in fucking droves and is going to be the hottest Christmas gift, beyond the PS4 Pro if sales continue
Nintendo is not even remotely close to being done with the console market.
You're a dumbfuck who has no idea what he's talking about. The power of this "tablet," will be far beyond other tablets and when people see the kind of games it can play they won't pick up fucking Angry Birds on their 1000 dollar iPad.
Nathan Gonzalez
You do realize they've been in decline since the N64 when they lost all 3rd party support, right? Literally has been nothing but bad news each gen since the n64.
>Nintendo makes good games Not anymore they don't.
Jeremiah Martinez
>You do realize they've been in decline since the N64 when they lost all 3rd party support, right? Literally has been nothing but bad news each gen since the n64.
You do realize the DS, Wii, and 3DS sold so fucking much that the N64 is a footnote in their history, right?
Lincoln Clark
>Literally has been nothing but bad news each gen since the n64.
>DS sold 150 million consoles >Wii sold 100 million consoles
>nothing but bad news each gen since the n64.
Mason Phillips
The Wii sold 100 million consoles in what, 5 years?
The PS2 took 12 years to do that, and it only had a huge initial boost because it was a DVD player.
Gavin Sanders
So much bad news that they've been around for 20 years since the n64.
Liam Reyes
splatoon made a ton of money. smash bros made a ton of money, mario kart made a ton of money. Beyblade made a ton of money. I dont even own a wii and I know this.
Jeremiah White
But Nintendo console sales have been dropping, except for the Wii. WiiU did horrible. It's just that they didn't fuck up as bad as Sega did
Christian Robinson
it's stopped being Reliable years ago
Easton Williams
Nintendo is succesful with their handhelds, so they made a handheld you can display via your TV.
Smart move, and they will sell like crazy.
Robert Scott
Doesn't count
Andrew Cooper
>Beyblade What does that have to do with anything?
Austin Watson
They show someone using the pro controller in handheld mode in the reveal.
>I actually have no knowledge of what I'm talking about but I'm going to argue about it anyways
Classic Sup Forums
Jordan Walker
Wii U MADE THEM MONEY
It doesn't matter how few it sold if they MADE MONEY FROM IT.
The Wii U and 3DS have sold more combined than Xbox One or PS4.
Ayden Mitchell
this is akin to the denuvo guys saying denuvo is safe for SSD after testing
Angel Parker
FPBP
Ethan Wood
you know what sony ponies and xboners problem is. they are buying gimped computer games and thinking they won. nintendo has unapologetically been making console games and they are doing just fine.
Lincoln Rivera
Kek, they also showed fake games that are confirmed not going to be on the console
Jaxson Reyes
>Nvidia in charge of "ground-breaking design"
Hey they may make something one day that can break the ground.
Liam Morris
AMD has always been shit. Radeon has always been the cheap alternative to Nvidia.
Only Sup Forums would make fun of Nvidia.
Hudson Hughes
>two things sold more than one You're a genius, user.
Brandon Rivera
A car you can use as a boat is a good idea as well.
the reality is a bit different
Noah Sanders
Sony discontinued the Vita because the DS raped it in it's asshole.
Their power to price ratio is much better, their shit doesnt always overheat and burn to hell, and they use less energy
Juan Gray
Why the fuck do people care how well a piece of hardware from a company you have no stake in sells? What do you get out of it? I don't understand.
The Wii U sold like shit, and it still has the largest and most diverse library of console exclusive titles (though the PS4 is starting to pick up a bit of steam). Just buy whatever has what you want to play on it and fucking enjoy yourself, jesus christ
James Morales
*in the west
Evan Campbell
>The Wii U and 3DS have sold more combined than Xbox One or PS4.
Fuck off with the WiiU, the 3DS sold so much that you don't even need to include that shit. The 3DS is also a handheld, which is the only market that Nintendo still is dominating.
What are you even trying to say?
Thomas Smith
I'm sure his point was that when you're outside you wouldn't have to bring your pro controller as well just so you could play it comfortably.
Gabriel Diaz
Who wants something like that?
Games like Skyrim aren't fun when you're out and about.
People who like consoles, like to sit on the couch and value power, AAA games, and good online infrastructure. Switch has neither.
People who like handhelds like good battery life, cheap price, and games that can be played in intervals. Switch has none of those.
People who like mobile gaming like playing apps, and already have a device for casual gaming that offers way more features than the Switch. As well as Android/Apple store.
Tell me, outside of Nintendo fans, who the he'll is gonna buy this? Hell, even among Nintendo fans, half of the remaining fans will buy it, since most are still pissed favourite Wii U.
Being a hybrid is a huge detriment for the Switch. It reduced it's power and battery for a feature no one really wants.
John Mitchell
Yes you can. It was in the video. In the hilarious "Splatoon as a E sport" part, everyone is training on the floor with the pro controller while the Switch is not in the dock. You can literally just treat the screen as a tiny tv and use the pro controller instead of the joy cons.
Aaron Hughes
>AMD GPUs >Less Energy Since when?
Nicholas Cooper
Wii dropped completely dead after a few years PS2 kept selling for over 10 years, and it sold over 150 million Nintendo consoles have a lifespan of 2-3 years
Josiah Mitchell
Any tablet gamer wants games like that.
Joshua Long
>most diverse library
Yeah, like over half of the library are platformers
Kayden Foster
>muh gameworks that makes every game run like hot garbage. if they stuck to making hardware they would be great but they insist on making games run like shit so they can sell thier newest gpu every two years.
Joseph Moore
Pic related, it's you.
Grayson Carter
AMDs have never used less energy you fucking idiot.
