Omnivision is one of the biggest suppliers of parts for cameras, they're one of the iPhone supplier and now in their last report they talk about a very specific console:
Console plans were also unusually singled out during the call. The company said it had obtained a "significant design win" to supply cameras for a game console that would be ready in the next several months.

With Sony more likely to use its own sensors for the NGP, the deal is more likely to focus on Nintendo's Project Cafe.
