It's perplexing to think they would title the article that way, since this nViDiA rep doesn't say things in those harsh terms. This isn't against you, Jay, I saw this on a PC website with that title.

Gamespot was the ones who titled this.  It is basically Nvidia making an excuse for a big loss in my opinion.  Both NeXbox and PS4 will be using rival AMD chips which could potentially lose nvidia over 100m  units sold in the next 5 years

or AMD went cheap to win the contract and will have undersold themselves making bigger losses and going bust?  what then....?

That is a possibility as well but I think both the PS4 and NeXbox will be just fine in the graphics and power department.  No they wont be as powerful as PC's but they dont need to be either.  People want consoles to be a good price and Nvidia will make people charge an arm and a leg.  I love Nvidia, dont get me wrong.  I buy Nvidia for my computer but when it comes to consoles people are looking for good prices.  Also take into consideration developers will be devloping games with those specs in mind which will help power improve in games after launch as they learn more about the hardware.

That wasnt really my point.

The guy from NVidia is actually saying there wasn't enough margin for them. Thats fine, its a business decision.

It worries me a little that AMD, already struggling, would go in cheap to win a contract that may backfire if they have gone too cheap.  If they vanish what the hell happens then?

Get Samsung to buy the rights to making the chips in the AMD closing down sale and they make the chips
