NVIDIA's Console Chip

NV2
Sega funded a significant portion of the research on the NV2 and it is
reasonable to suggest that NVIDIA might not exist it its capacity
today if it were not for Sega's support of the NV2.

This is like LucasFilms saying that Pixar wouldn't be the animation
powerhouse it is today if they didn't sell it to Steve Jobs in the
primitive state it was in in 1986 (and they've insinuated as much).
