But this is system-on-a-chip and is already being used in other products with good results.
It's being used in Zune HD and a few other products that don't come to mind right now and are completely separate from the troubles that we know you(and several other companies) have been having with the shoddy graphic cards they have been manufacturing.
Tegra is a whole different beast and only uses 1watt of power to produce all the things it does. It should not be over heating and Nintendo will be overseeing anything that they do with them, so there should be no design flaws or wasted potential in the pipe-line.
But you miss the point that if they only put in a "B" grade effort on a "B" grade budget ut still manages to sell 4 million copies, it's still a "B" grade game. IF they put in an "AAA" effort on a "AAA" budget but only sold 4 copies, that doesn't make it a "F" grade game, it just makes it a "AAA" game that more than bombed at retail.
Sales do not reflect the quality of the effort when judging what kind of game it is. A "AAA" game is a "AAA" game whether everyone buys it or not. Babiez is a "C" grade game on a "D" grade budget that managed to sell over 1 million copies.... does that make it a "A" grade game now? of course not.
