A. The GPUs in consoles are feeble compared to the GPUs we buy, and they have to make the games playable at 1080P on them. In other words, next gen consoles aren't going look like PhysX tech demos just because they are next gen consoles. False

B. The feeble little GPUs in consoles have feeble little CPUs pushing them, and in the console world, your game has to run smooth. The console port games aren't exactly reknowned for pushing computer gaming forward.False, hell the PS3 could fold and be used as an htpc...

C. Last, it's never really mattered much which GPU is in consoles. ATi cards always ran the original Xbox ports and PS3 ports, and NVIDIA runs 360 ports. They have to be coded to run in DirectX, not "OS360" or whatever those things use. False, you do realize both AMD and Nvidia fight for said contracts?

The console factor is very much misunderstood. A console contract means you get to sell a bunch of your lowest end product at razor thin margins, not that "Yay! We win! Our competitor will be gone next year!". Ask intel if they care about not having any CPUs in consoles.Not Intels market, but i will bet that if the consoles wanted to drop something like SB in there they would care alot.
Rollo you continue to prove you have no idea what you are talking about, please quit acting like you do. Yes the product margins may be razor thin but I gaurantee you that for how many consoles are sold AMD makes bank off that. You also have to remember OEM's don't really trust Nvidia to make mobile chips anymore after the mobile 6150 days so there is another market that AMD and Intel completely have taken over. All that is really left is HPC servers, normal desktop (which is dominated by integrated so no nvidia is really there), and enthusiast which is pretty much shared equally between AMD and Nvidia. IIRC Nvidia does pretty good in the HPC space unless they started to use wood screws there also.
