Nvidia: PS4 partnership not worth the cost
"I'm sure there was a negotiation that went on," Tamasi told sources, "and we came to the conclusion that we didn't want to do the business at the price those guys were willing to pay".
He also added: "Having been through the original Xbox and PS3, we understand the economics of console development and the tradeoffs."
Sony's reason for choosing AMD to build the PS4's GPU is probably a secret which will stay within the PlayStation executive circle.
It is thought that AMD did win the contract to build GPUs for thes next Xbox, though this information has yet to be confirmed.
Tamasi seemed to suggest that Nvidia is not too discouraged about losing out on a major deal.
"We're building a whole bunch of stuff," he said.
"In the end, you only have so many engineers and so much capability, and if you're going to go off and do chips for Sony or Microsoft, then that's probably a chip that you're not doing for some other portion of your business.
"And at least in the case of Sony and Nvidia, in terms of PS4, AMD has the business and Nvidia doesn't. We'll see how that plays out from a business perspective I guess. It's clearly not a technology thing."

EroYikesDLTYikesEMTBackHandLegendViceBackHandLegendYikesTehEro This time around i think PS4 will finally beat xbox.
I Hope they do :D
yeah me too
I really don't give a crap, if the PS4 isn't going to have party chat or skype or anything like that, it is worthless.
very true, one advantage xbox has always had..
There's really no reason to get offended, but I'd be bored out of my butt playing a game and then not being able to talk to friends who are playing another game or are in a different match. Its just so... sooooo... BORING.
I agree it makes the game just not fun
Ikr, when I'm playing Xbox I need someone to play with and talk toor ill get bored.
I only use my Xbox for speaking in parties now. I'll be in a party with mates and play on my PC instead of Xbox.
Yeah, ive been doing that a lot lately, I dont think id even play the PS4 much.
PC is loads better than both and we have Skype.
Except the cost is overbearing. Not to mention not all of us enjoy playing games on a keyboard and mouse with a slouched posture and little room to move. I like to be open, lay down if I want, be far, or close to the tv sitting on a comfortable couch with friends over and not being in solitary confinement. But to be fair I also believe playing minecraft or CS Go without a keyboard and mouse is plain wrong. Some of us don't like PC gaming as much.

-RageQuit-kainankiddpmsl AMD processors are pretty good, although Nvidia would have been better
And here ladies and gentlemen, is a stupid **** that thinks he knows about computers. Nvidia don't even do PC processors and even with GPU's they up the price a whole lot just for PhysX technology and for the brand. I bet you just skimmed through or read the title and then replied straight away. Well, your little brain probably can't even process the information anyway.
Fair enough with your point but he made a mistake and there was no need to express it like that and be so rude about it
Flaming is against the rules my friend

I like how in the article it was quoted that Tamasi compared the original Xbox, not the 360, to the PS3. Things like that can change companies if you don't watch it.

Yikes-RageQuit-Erobobo23-RageQuit-SOG-RageQuit-SOGEMTTehEro Nvidia made the right choice.
no they didn't >:(
Yes they did Sony is a pretty good company
I like Sony a lot, what's bad about their choice?
Sony is a good console manufacturer that actually sells there console un like some (WII)
but i just hope that with them siding with AMD they carry this on with the production of good consoles
I see where you're coming from, partnerships can often ruin the originality of a company.
And then when Nvidia made the ps3 Graphics chip it went well so hopefully AMD can make a chip just as good well better because its next gen
go xbox!!!!!
Why Xbox when PC has 1000FPS lol Xbox only has 30 hahaha
1000 frames i would love a pc that got that many frames but im pretty sure its impossible

Depending what game i play i can get somewhere like 60-100
