One of NVidia's execs hinted at this a while back, that XBox 2 wasn't a certainty for them, and that their main focus was the PC as a multimedia and gaming hub, one of the reasons they have branched off into motherboard chipsets. |

Wow the fanboys sure are trying to put a negative spin on this. The facts are Nvidia had problems keeping up the MS's demands and MS dumped Nvidia and went with ATI. ATI is gonna get a lot of money and be in a lot of homes. If:- Selling price to MS manufacturing cost Ati 's profit-line goes negative and heads will roll. Ati has continued to make minimal or negative profits for the last few years. The $$ is king in the console hardware business. Nothing to do with graphics technology, which has to be dumbed-down from PC performance to meet the performance and cost objectives. MS (just like Sony and Nintendo) will NEVER make money selling console HARDWARE, and they will make quite sure that as much of the loss as possible trickles down to their suppliers. I suspect that after their Xbox experience, nVidia gave MS an honest bid that MS did not like and MS went looking for the next sucker............. MS and Ati should make excellent bed-fellows with MS playing the role of the black widow spider and Ati her unfortunate mate. This is just another set back for the fallen graphics king. Frees up resources at nVidia for projects that can make real money. John Lewis |
