My bold prediction is coming truer and truer. Nvidia will be the gpu in the next consoles.

Sony and Microsoft will be forced to use Nvidia in next-gen consoles because Amd gpus is just so bad compared to Nvidia.

This vega gpu needed 50% more die size(50%+ more transistors), a watercooler, hbm2 and almost twice the power (watt usage) to barely beat the geforce 1080. Expect the watercooler version have about 0-5% more performance then geforce 1080 and the non water cooler version to lose.

This card is hilariously bad, it's worse than polaris architecture (the gpu in ps4 pro and xbox one x). I don't know how AMD manage to make a card worse than their previously.

I still stand by this. Ps5 will have 4-6 ryzen cpu cores, a midrange nvidia gpu(whatever arhitecture comes after volta), 16gb gddr6 and 2 tb non-ssd drive. 2020 released time(will be using 7 nm Euv) 399$ and non backwards compatibility.

If Sony go amd gpu expect instead 2019 release date(will be using 7 nm non-Euv), 8 ryzen cpu cores, 8-9 teraflops navi gpu(might be polaris architecture if Navi is a disaster as Vega) but will be backwards compatibility.

The current consoles are using mobile AMD APUs. Why would you think that console makers won't use bad GPUs? That's their MO.
