Yeah well, if Intel wasn't as greedy maybe we could see them used on consoles. But after what happened with the first Xbox, I guess we won't see that.

And the same goes for Nvidia after the Xbox and the PS3.

I don't think it's a case of Intel being greedy anymore (They have cheap processors like Atom and ULP Core-based chips these days.), they aren't exactly overflowing with competent GPU designs like AMD to build a competent SoC designed for gaming though. lol

nVidia (And AMD) probably could, based around ARM, Nintendo could possibly still go down that road with the NX, there were hints of an Android based OS being in play? (Which can run on x86, but that's fairly unheard of.)

Ok, maybe greedy is not the best description, but they are definitely not as cooperative as AMD, that can also provide a complete solution unlike Intel.

The ARM based console and the Android based OS are usual rumors, yes, and while I wouldn't mind if Nintendo goes for an Android based OS, I would prefer if they go with an x86 processor.

Heck, given they'll go with AMD and that they make both kind of processors, I'd prefer if they go with an ARM based APU for the handheld and an x86 based APU for the home console (yes, I want two devices), with the OS taking care of the shared games/apps.
