- Nvidia CEO says that gaming was built in his time.
- He also takes the credit for creating the modern video game industry.
- Moreover, he claims that they’re the largest video game platform today.
Nvidia’s focus on enterprise has made it the world’s largest company as it stands at a market cap of $4.35 trillion today. The GeForce makers have undoubtedly made many contributions to the gaming world, but likely not as many as its CEO claims.
As per the CEO’s words, the video game industry was created in his time, which is pretty baffling to say, considering video games have been around for 50+ years, long before Nvidia was even created.
Why it matters: For a CEO of a company this big scale to make this bold statement is wild. Nvidia is a major player in the video game industry, but certainly not an inventor.
Yesterday’s Morgan Stanley Media and Telecom Conference had Jesen Huang hog all the spotlight, for all the wrong reasons. Reminiscing on the company’s growth, he touched on video games, noting that computer graphics were used to animate movies and that Nvidia applied them elsewhere, helping create the gaming industry.
And the whole videogame industry was created in my time.
NVIDIA was created in 1993, whereas video games have existed since 1958. Before Team Green was even created, video games had become a phenomenon, with titles like Pac-Man and The Legend of Zelda released in the 80s.
The reason why we’re so beloved in the videogame industry and we’re so deep in it still is, in a lot of ways, we created the modern videogame industry.
Jensen further took credit for all developments in the gaming industry, citing Unreal Engine as an example, since the engine heavily leverages Nvidia technology.
He also touched on algorithms, most importantly RTX, saying that the gaming industry would be nothing without it.
That’s the reason why all the games run best on Nvidia for good reason. That’s the reason why Nvidia is the world’s largest game platform.
While normally it would be understandable for Nvidia to call itself the world’s largest gaming platform, they just recently claimed that it’s not a ‘gaming company’ anymore, especially since the majority of its revenue was coming from enterprise.
