Consider that the reason that Microsoft choose to work with IBM and ATI was because of how amazing of a job they did for Nintendo; do you think that ATI and IBM would have done a worse job for Nintendo than they did for Microsoft? Do you think that these large multinational corporations are bigger fanboys than you are? |
It wouldn't have been difficult but it would have been expensive. Even more so if Nintendo wasn't willing to take a loss on each console sold like the competition did.
As for why Microsoft went with ATI, I think it had more to do with the fact that they had a falling out with Nvidia over pricing of components in the Xbox than anything else.
