Yes, rumors also said back then that Tegra would be used in 3DS.

And as one the sources say (Hardoc) Sony decided to go Nvidia just 1 year before the launch of PS3, so with them anything is possible.

That last part is a myth that keeps getting repeated without any proof for some reason.

Here's an article from 2004, two years before the PS3 was released, where they are anouncing their collaboration. The way it's worded seems to imply that they've been working together since the begining, so it's not just a last minute thing.

Thanks for the link! (not that I could read it as I'm not registered but I could see the date, 07/12/2004)

"It is highly likely that Microsoft's 3rd generation Xbox will be sporting a new IBM cell processor as well although it is slightly, ever so slightly possible, that this could change."

wat?

The xbox 360 already uses an IBM CPU based on the Cell chip, so going for a Cell chip with the nextbox wouldn't be much surprising (even more now that developers are finally able to develop for it with the PS3).

More I think about this, the more I doubt its true. 

Xbox and Nintendo are a given, but Nvidia will not want to be excluded from the console market so I see them going after Sony. They have been involved since 32 bit days (Saturn, Xbox, PS3). They also have a lot of interesting things coming up such as kal-el chip which is benchmarking some really impressive numbers at low power (according to Nvidia).

And if Sony is smart they can force Nvidia to lower their price given that they will be the only ones using their chips.

 

@n_nod2012 I'd go with DarkSiders. There aren't many adventure games that resemble a Zelda game, but there are a lot more FPS that are better than Resistance (although if you have played the first and want to play the third then this is the one you should get).
