nVidia says No to the PS4! Sony won't pay up!


Submitted by Dan; March 15, 2013


In an interview with Gamespot, nVidia were pretty upfront on the their involvement with Sony's upcoming 8th generation console the PS4. The company stated that they wanted nothing to do with supplying Sony the means of using their graphics chip on the console. This was due to Sony not forking out the money and paying nVidia what they were asking for. nVidia have gone on to claim that the PlayStation 4 will not be worth the price of admission and warns customers to save their money and wait off for something else.

 

It has been rumored that nVidia would be sticking exclusively with Microsoft's next generation console, which is believed to be unveiled at E3 later this year. This comes off rumors also that nVidia is to be believed to be helping with the developement team of the next XBOX very closely.

In a quote given to Gamespot Senoir VP of nVidia Tony Tamasi said "We're building a whole bunch of stuff and we had to look at console business as an opportunity cost. If we say, did a console, what other piece of our business would we put on hold to chase after that?"

 

It is believed that AMD are also having their doubts over the PS4, but these are just rumors at the moment as they are sticking by Sony's PS4. This also comes after AMD's Austin based Headquarters was sold off earlier this week due to "budget cuts", following a quarterly loss of $131 million.

 

In the last quarterly, nVidia posted a profit of $174 million.
