Personally, I love $NVDA. Great products, superlative engineering and management. I believe Masayoshi-san's thinking a long time horizon for this investment. Cloud GPUs are eating software. $NVDA's 100 Tflop Volta GPU could be a monster seller. This is a bet on a new revolution.
I think you seriously overestimate console market. Back in 2011 Sony reported 56 million PlayStation 3 units sold and Nvidia made $500M in royalties from it.

Considering there is a lot more alternatives in SOC market now I seriously doubt Nvidia margins become any better. I don't mean that $500M is little amount of money, but it's simply can't justify market cap growth.
UPD: My bad, there actually some data on it and I can be wrong:

Though I still don't think growth can be really related to console itself.
Today, with the stock up more than 250% in the last 18mo., the implied market size (and market share) estimates in the stock are already pretty ambitious. In my opinion, they're not too ambitious, but the question now becomes, when will it become clear that they are conservative? What will it take? SoftBank has a long time horizon, they're comfortable waiting for when this happens, whether it's in 4 quarters if datacenter growth grows from even these remarkable levels or in 4 years when the autonomous driving market with be beginning to take shape...

In a little over a year it went from $27 per share to $139. Even with deep learning chips it looks like a bubble. I guess by the time we hear those news Softbank may already be considering selling some shares and they want just this news to spread to prop up the value.
