Nvidia won't be pursuing a new Shield tablet. I believe it has plans to conquer the world with Nintendo, instead.

To me the most important hardware is the battery. Doesn’t matter how powerful the chips are.
There’s no way you’re getting that 40CU 16-core APU in a handheld. That’s too hot and power hungry for that. The highest end APU they’re suggesting is going to end up in gaming laptops that can cool a 100W chip.
I think these articles get things a little out of perspective, Steam Deck has sold around 3 million and Switch has sold 140 million. But if you are browsing certain parts internet you'd think the Steam Deck had sold over 100 million. If articles are going to continue to circulate like this and continue to put the Steam Deck in the same arena then I'm comfortable calling the device a flop.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Some people believe Nintendo will go with DMP's M3000 chip (which makes sense because it'll allow backward compatibility with 3DS titles). I'd love Nintendo to go with Nvidia, though it doesn't look likely.
You never know, so here's to hoping this article is spot on about the N using Nvid cards.
Nintendo should makes alliances with 3rd party support. That would impress me most when considering a Nintendo console.
Sounds like a pretty solid theory.
nVidia has a long history of screwing over Sony and Microsoft. If Nintendo does go with nVidia I hope the same thing doesn't happen to them.
Problem is Nvidia recently told investors they are focusing on cars and A.I. which would certainly be a business reason to drop its next gaming platform as the last one never took off. Nvidia is moving on to what it believes is greener pastures in self driving vehicles so unless Nintendo is jumping into the automotive industry I kinda doubt it. lo l
