Nvidia would deliberately have chosen not hardware for Sony’s PlayStation 4. Sony would be too little money left for Nvidia’s gpus. Finally went to Sony in the sea with Nvidia’s competitor AMD, which is now both the cpu and the gpu for the PS4.
Tony Tamasi, Senior VP at Nvidia, showed Gamespot confirmed that negotiations have taken place with Sony, but that Nvidia no business wanted to do with Sony considering the price that Sony this overhad. Nvidia produced the gpu of the Xbox, but also that of the PlayStation 3. The margins on gpu’s in consoles is very low and according to Tamasi, there had to be a tradeoff between the products that Nvidia is already in progress and the development of a gpu for a console. One of the disadvantages of a gpu for a console is that they cannot be sold.
AMD eventually went in the sea with Sony, as even though the gpu produced for the Xbox 360 and presumably also for the ‘Xbox 720’. Except the gpu, would the cpu supply for both consoles. AMD developed also a whole new gpu for the PS4, but based on one of the gpu’s from the Radeon HD 7000-series. AMD gave in January to the half of its revenue from the embedded market potential and with an AMD gpu in both the PS4 and the Xbox 720 seems to be the American company a long way.
Sony announced the PlayStation 4 on 20 February, although the console itself, yet not to admire. Only at the end of 2013 the new game console to actually purchase. The same is expected of the new Xbox, which it is rumored that Microsoft this on april 26, wants to announce.
