Forums - Sony - PS4 not worth the cost says Nvidia (Read thread, not title)

Neither are your graphics cards, which is why MS and Sony didn't choose YOU.

Yeap but not the better choice for PS4... Sony wanted to make the console more easly possible for developers (PC like is the best option here).

Seems like that now yes... However when Apple releases an iConsole in a few years and it starts owning the living room on a non PC/ARM arcitechture, we may think differently.

That wasnt really my point.

The guy from NVidia is actually saying there wasn't enough margin for them. Thats fine, its a business decision.

It worries me a little that AMD, already struggling, would go in cheap to win a contract that may backfire if they have gone too cheap.  If they vanish what the hell happens then?


Ohhh i see now.  That is a good question actually.  I honestly don't know.  They could possibly buy the tech that is made for those chips???  I really dont have a clue to be honest.

Article doesn't really say anything about amd being in trouble.

If sony and ms can sell 100m consoles, that's going to be a pretty great profit for them, as well as advance their hold on the APU market. I'm not worried, since all Nvidia is saying is that the resources they'd need to dedicate would cost them on producing more lucrative products.


He asked a an "if" question.  You need to quote him, not me.  I dont know how well AMD is doing on the market so i'm unable to answer it

lol well excuUuUuUse me princess.

I answered your 'if' question regardless. you should thank me. :D

I think the iConsole will you x86_64 too like the iMacs or MacBook.

Nvidia just making this seem as if they had a choice in the matter. Personally i don't think they were even approached.

Sony and MS would have both been fools to not go with an APU solution. It just makes complete sense from a technical point of view.

And since the desire would have been an APU...AMD is looking like the only company at the moment to offer a high end APU with sufficient gpu horsepower. I'm still amazed that they managed to fit that many GCN cores into an APU solution

nVidia has better tech but no option like CPU+GPU (APU)... so in the end the AMD is cheaper.

Sony did the best for the company.


Maybe not an X86 option but they have a very capable ARM SoC option in their Tegra line. 

very capable? well, the cpu cores of that are OK for smartphones/tablets (and Vita uses a custom Tegra3, with powerVR gpu cores), but not anywhere near enough for "next gen" consoles

and the Tegra's GPU cores are heavily critizised for being subpar even compared to standard ARM designs

Lets be honest here, it doesnt matter what Apple put into their iConsole, eithet way its gonna be a success and its not going to be because of its internal parts.

Jay is trying to instigate the feelings by creating such threads and when somebody talks sense, he threats to report.

Jay, you little double agent.

No ways...they will never sacrifice compatibility with their current library of apps.
