it is amusing to know that know MS hold all the patend, just like nintendo or maybe PS2 did, but now PS3 chooses Nvidia, when actually the reason MS not producing xbox 1 anymore is Nvidia.
now sony as i believe can not turning back again, remember their design already late , they just adding Nvidia at very last minute. now their facing same problem as MS with xbox 1

Nvidia has nothing to do with anything. MS is not producing the Xbox anymore because it was a failure. A complete failure. It sold 25 million units, got completely destroyed by the PS2, and didn't have anywhere near the PS2's library.
None of the consoles this gen will do as badly as the Xbox or GameCube. If anyone thinks the Wii is dominating this gen (it is), go look at the PS2 last gen. What did it finish on, 70% market share?

Nvidia has EVERYTHING to do with the Xbox being removed from market immediately and EVERYTHING to do with why the 360 uses ATI.

Nvidia didn't help, but I thought the HDD cost was the real issue they had - apart from the install base that is.
Xbox was basically costing too much as a unit vs the HW and SW sales and MS realised they had to go back to the beginning again.

Yup, it looks like Ps2 will end at ~ 72% (140M out of 195M)
The previous generations stand at ~
NES: 82% (60M/73M)
SNES: 52% (49/95M)
Ps1: 65% (102.5M/155.5M)
Ps2: 72% (140/195M)
So the Wii will not be as dominant as the Ps1 (it would probably need 200M to do so, assuming Ps360 = at least 100M, which they will) meaning that the Wii is the 2nd least dominating console so far.
This gen is the closest yet
