Ripten: Mobile gaming is a niche market that, until recently, was mostly comprised of card games and Tetris spin-offs. The graphics made 8-bit look good. Apple changed all that with the original iPhone, which was capable of pumping out some pretty decent graphics. The trend has continued, with each successive iOS device bringing more graphics power to the table, and better games that take advantage of that power.
— Nintendo Enthusiast:
Revenue generated by Nvidia Tegra chipsets has increased by $63 million since the Nintendo Switch launched back in March.
Hello, I'm the author of this news post.
I used the term "apparently" to avoid any unintentional error. While I confirmed it with an industry analyst that Tegra revenue numbers did increase thanks to Switch sales, just wanted to make sure any trolls didn't have firepower since most people on this website (and others) love to only read headlines and never actually view the full stories.
Old writer here. I suggest using more assertive language in headlines, even when you need to hedge your bets. "Apparently" makes what it modifies seem shaky, or even illusive. An alternative would be "according to [this source]" or similar.
I understand your point. I'm only questioning the methods used to address it.
This article title is wrong and not what actually happened.
It not apparently. It did boost the revenue by a lot.
The title isn't wrong, I made sure to write it out that way in order to avoid getting any flack from trolls that love to only read article headlines and not view the full story. That happens a lot on this website and others.
Step 1: Sell millions of chips to Nintendo
Step 2: Nintendo sells millions of Switches to customers
Step 3: Profits increase !?!?
Who would have guessed that would be the outcome. Welcome to business 101 everyone !!
So Nvidia makes profit on already sold chips because Nintendo then sells the Switch and hands Nvidia more money? For what? Nintendo already paid for the chips.
Business 101 my ass.
I know what you're saying and I'm not assuming the OP meant how you stated, but at the same time constant production after the initial shipment does follow the OP's statement.
Uh, what? The point is that the sales continue, so Nvidia keeps producing more chips for Nintendo because the Switch keeps selling. Continued sales of chips means Nvidia's profits go up.
Lol, you obviously have taken the whole point of my comment out of context and misconstrued it to fit your unwarranted objection!
I suggest before coming with a rebuttal to a comment, you actually try to comprehend what the original comments goal was trying to achieve. Obviously sarcasm was something you missed growing up.
And btw,I never said Nintendo hands them "more money" for the chips they already purchased from them. But like others have stated, more chips will be bought after the initial batch, so yes the more Switches Nintendo sells,the more chips they buy,which means more profit for Nividia !!
Business101 is now in session!!
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is the kick in the pants mobile needs
Mobile gaming is really getting awesome. Now if they could make these phones conect via blue tooth to a TV and a controller...
Ahh, playing a game on an airplane...epic!
I'm pretty impressed with some of the tuff we're getting right now, to be honest. ilomilo looks just as good on WP7 as it does on XBLA.
don't forget about PowerVR Series5XT (SGXMP)
