AMD is in all next-gen consoles so I expect things to turn around for them.



Actually, there is some talk that the reason AMD is in PS4 instead of NVida is because console margins are absolutely terrible.  So Nvida walked.

 

From 2004 to 2011... NVDIA made a grand whopping total of 500 Million in royalties.

It's pretty obvious that Nvidia is in damage control mode. They are bashing consoles left and right to make themselves feel better about losing out....

No, AMD being in consoles won't save the company but it will really help bring in a steady stream of profits over the next few yeras. They are providing the APUs for both next-gen consoles and they already provide the GPU in the Wii U. This can only be seen as a win for AMD and a loss for Nvdida.


I'm guessing you didn't actually read the article.  Since it involed absolutely zero quotes from NVDIA outside what was taken from their profit reports.

There are multiple artiles with Nvidia bashing consoles. They even said PS4 is weaker than that new Titan GPU.(lol fucking obvious considering the price difference)

Probably even more pathetic on Nvidias part is that they sent a monster of a PC to Digital Foundry to test its capability of 4K Gaming.(something next-gen consoles can't do). They have a very clear agenda. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
