Nvidia Gets SALTY

For their prospective probably while ps and xb move a lot of units, console chips have very thin margins compared to graphics cards and laptops gpus.

Mind me, I don't have anything against AMD, but PS and Xbox use their chips not because they're superior to Nividia's but only because they're chepaer.

Not only because it's cheaper. I guess both Sony and Microsoft doesn't really want to work with Nvidia at this point. Nvidia screwed both companies in the past. They screwed Microsoft with GPU prices for original Xbox which led to a lawsuit. And they made the worse GPU for PS3 than what was inside Xbox360 which came out a year before. I guess it costed more for Sony than X360 GPU as well.

Don't really care of being Nvidia's defence force, but this is not very accurate.

Yes, the original XB GPU was more expensive but it was largely superior to other consoles and yes, they (Nvidia) wanted and still want a larger cut of profits (that's what I'm saying from the beginning). As for PS3, the reason why the GPU was weaker is mostly due to the fact that until the later stages of HDW development Sony planned to use the Cell to render games instead of a regular GPU. The RSX was inferior simply because it was engeneered on a short notice.
