Well Nvidia has apparently made a lot of money from the PS3.

Sony on the otherhand may have the biggest financial failure in gaming history.

I thought MS went with ATI because Nvidia had high royalties on the original Xbox.

Microsoft blames Nvidia for being a bad partner, and Nvidia blames Microsoft for being a bad partner, after all the troubles they both had with each other during their relationship on the original Xbox, it was pretty clear they weren't going to do it again.

The deal Microsoft made with ATI howevers seems to be a proper success for both parties.

The problem MS had with nVidia were fixed costs per chip during the entire xbox life. It didn't drop with shrinkages. MS had the same problem with the HDD provider, AFAIK.
