It has almost always been the case, people just didn't spend a month's salary in a high end PC before.

Plus Nvidia raging about not getting the contracts for Xbone/ PS4 chipset.

I say bullshit for ps3 being on par with high end PCs in 2006

Nvidia is raging from not geting the Xbone/PS4 chipsets in the same way that Morton's Steakhouses are raging that they aren't getting the Wal-mart cashier demographic.

If they have no interest in it, why did they do it before ?

because the profit margins were even worse on the PS3 then they expected.00

If you regularly paid attention to PC manufacturers financials you'd know that Nvidia missed it's profit targets on last gens console tech, after reaping some big money on Xbox.

Over the course of the entire PS3, Nvidia has only made around a half a billion dollars... not really worth putting other product lines on hold to shift over engineers for gaming architecture.

Why divert engineers for maybe 150 million chips over 10 years that won't be used elsewhere when instead you could go after the smartphone market?

 

Nvdia specifically turned down a PS4 offer from Sony.

AMD is desperate so they're willing to settle for scraps if those scraps will lead to fairly steady revenue.

Other companies, not so much.

 

If AMD gets back on track, chances are future console chipsets will end up being nothing but stock.
