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."

TheySoulful-RageQuit-MiningVlifCenturialxIIJazza Pc Is clearly the way forward :L
The thing is a lot of people can't afford PC Gaming, like me -__-
i want one to but like he said they are way to expensive! :c
Oh yeah how much do you think the PS4 will be when released? Have they mentioned a price yet or have they not?
I'm not sure but they said it would be affordable
$400 would be a good price, and even that is considerably expensive.
I'm pretty sure you could build a decent gaming PC for the price of a new console.
$400 can get you an OK gaming PC. It won't get you something that you can max everything you play.
I agree though. PC > Console.
It depends on what you want though, I personally don't like CoD or anything like that on the PC other than BF3.

That would depend on whether they learn from previous mistakes.

I highly doubt that the GPU will fail, they will do extensive testing and such before they release the final product.
I myself have an AMD card in my PC, no problems whatsoever, I'm kind of excited to be honest.
