Nvidia says Switch's architecture should make porting games over from PS4/XB1 simple

GN Version 5.0

The following comes from Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang...

- architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Switch is similar to what’s inside of PS4/Xbox One and even PCs
- this should enable developers to build games that can quickly shift from one platform to another
- this includes games that originate on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 to Switch
- all of these architectures are common in the sense that they all use modern GPUs
- they all use programmable shading, and they all have basically similar features
- processors will vary in design and capabilities, but they still all use a common architectural language
- game developers can target a much larger installed base with one common code base
