Lol

I don't know why he used the word myopically. Unless it's a mistake with the transcript.

LOL. Don't think it's a mistake!

Well, he's not wrong. PC and mobile are still bigger platforms than consoles.

 

[AgeEighty]

It's possible he just used a word he thought meant something less negative than it does. He might've thought it just referred to focus.

Their involvement with Switch isn't really incompatible with the views shown in that article, considering it's a new "way to enjoy games". It would certainly be interesting to see them get involved in a traditional console after that statement, though!

 

[ookami]

Yeah... Sure... NVIDIA and Nintendo being partners of course they're going to say it's an amazing piece of hardware and experience. They're the one providing the GPU.
Even rivals do that.

This GIF will be used friday.

Awaiting "This isn't as good as my rig with a 1080ti in it".

 

[oti]

I read "it's really Nintendo" as "it's all on them when it inevitably crashes and burns".

My glass is permanently almost empty.

I read it as "don't expect a lot of functionality, expect tons of polish". Which in today's gadget market it odd, since everything is supposed to do everything.

 

[Speely]

If you copy and paste, you can see that he was actually referring to his friend Al, not A.I. Basically, his golfing buddy has nothing to do with the Switch.

 

[Earthpainting]

Venture Beat on the phone with Jen-Hsun Huang: "Really? And consumers like it, huh? That is, that is, that is great. Uh, you mean “away,” though, right? Because otherwise it sounds a little different, but, uh, that’s, uh, that’s outstanding. You forgot to say “away” again. But listen, let me call you back in a bit, okay? Bye.

Switch will blown them all away."

 

[antonz]

But it has nothing to do with AI.

That is the point of his answer. He completely dodged what he was asked and then changed the subject. CES 2017 was all about AI for Nvidia. I mean even their new Shield TV is literally a repackaged 2015 Shield TV. Nvidia came to CES to talk AI and his answer ended with a nice way of saying stay on topic

 

[Mexen]

"It's very Nintendo" is a nice idea for a t-shirt

 

[Vash63]

Goddammit, JoJo is leaking. There are so many stands that would be great in Smash Bros, unfortunately there's no way it's gonna happen. If it did it would probably be all censored (Deadly Queen for the USA).

 

[Robottiimu2000]

Very Nintendo? So underpowered, overpriced, with a horrible account system?

My thoughts as well..

 

[Possumowner]

Secret Sauce in the Switch is a large fan...To literally blow you away...💨

Yeah, pretty much. He gave what he felt was a brief, complimentary response about Switch and then steered back on message.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I honestly wonder about some of you and your "ability" to make the most bizarre interpretations of completely clear and simple statements

 

[protomouse]

Literally, blow you away.

Ryan Dunn RIP

Amazing GIF though. Can't wait!

 

[vivekTO]

I will say that there is nothing wrong in his statement , but the focus on the art , craft ,culture and experience of Nintendo rather been discussing some points about the power behind the console , I Should temper my expectations regarding the console Specs.

But its not my major concern regarding switch(third party support) , so i am good .

You're reading a lot into this

 

[Toadthemushroom]

WOW.

 

[valkillmore]

You know what, F that. I'm staying grounded. I'm sick of being hyped into oblivion and then crashing back to reality.

I am eagerly anticipating the presentation and that's IT. Bring the goods and I'll be thrilled. No pie in the sky anticipation from me.

 

[TLZ]

it kinda sounds like the Switch is still very much Nintendo's thing despite Nvidia's involvement.

Did you expect otherwise?

 

[Renekton]

I don't know why he used the word myopically. Unless it's a mistake with the transcript.

My biggest takeaway from this is the word "myopically".

That's how GAFers are exclusively focusing on that word.

 

[SuperSah]

Hurry up Friday at 4am in the damned morning!

[kraspkibble]

i'm not getting on this hype train. so many people are gonna be disappointed. i don't think the switch will be bad. infact i am excited for it and hope it does really well. i'm just not getting my hype up to insane levels.

 

[AzaK]

Blown away if you've only had a 3DS sure. But certainly not if you've had any of the other consoles for the last 3 years.

Hype is typically silly when it comes to Nintendo. They tend to aim low with their hardware.

 

[SmokedMeat]

A guy from Nvidia said this? I'm so surprised!

Getting Mario Kart 8 running on handheld in 2017 is at very least notable (well, OK we still need to see how well it will run on Switch).

 

[chrislowe]

SWITCH 499USD (*poweradapter and base not included)

That would blow me away

 

[finalflame]

CEO of company that makes chips for console says console will be good, more at 11.

What else would he say? "Yah, it'll be middling at best. Don't get your hopes up too high, it's probably not Pascal."

Sigh.

 

[_Clash_]

I reckon the launch of this thing will be big,

Will buy.

Luckily we have alot of not so silly hype on the software part, which obviously is hard to believe for people like you who only like to focus on hardware power.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

"Nintendo Switch is already inside your eye."

But yeah, of course Nintendo's partner in this project are gonna drive up the hype machine for this when pressed. And thing is, people were impressed by the whole 'console you can take with you' aspect being shown to work, even if it made certain it's gotta be underpowered compared to the rest of the current generation. So yeah, doesn't have to mean a thing.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Smear that PR all over me

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Does that mean he has a problem with his eyesight?

He called Nintendo 'short sighted', but I don't think he meant to.

 

[WaterAstro]

Did he say the same for the Nvidia Shield?

 

[Red Liquorice]

I think myopic is the perfect word to describe Nintendo.

 

[Devilgunman]

My biggest takeaway from this is the word "myopically".

That describes Nintendo for the past decade very well.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Blown away if you've only had a 3DS sure. But certainly not if you've had any of the other consoles for the last 3 years.

Perhaps blown away by the quality of games and ease of use.
