Microsoft Wants ATI for Xbox 2

Wouldn't it be funny if they both turned MS down? :D

Highly doubt it, but if it did happen they'd probably either:
1) Make their own version of a video card by ripping off either ATI or nVidia and calling it their own. Hey, it happened to Xerox! 2) MS will buy ATI or nVidia (but they'd have some serious anti-trust issues if they did) By the way Gekko, considering you OWN an XBox you should be thinking a little more positive :D Also, AMD was initially supposed to do the first video caard, but nVidia approached Bill Gates himself and the change was made. See IGN for the source. |
Yet another way M$ has to pay with money to get things to come to them. But hey, ATI wantd to compete against "PS3" at all costs, so maybe they will make a chip for Nintendo's next console and a diff. chip for "XBox 2". And with M$ saying they want to be the first with a new console out, they would get the lower end chip while Nintendo gets the higher end. But thats at least 2-3 years away so I'm not gonna worry yet.

Did someone say something?
Nah... never mind... |

But who will Nintendo rely on? ;_;
Hmm... well... can't wait. |
I think ATI is content with Nintendo.
|
hmmm
Wouldn't it be funny if they made the chip for Cube and xbox.
But I agree with Gameking they are most likely content with Nintendo. |

Good point Gekko, and why would ATI be "content" with Nintendo when they could have both Nintendo and XBox and sell twice as many chips?
|
Exactly. Gamecube can hold it's own graphically in games programmed specifically for Gamecube. You don't think ATI would love showing off Rogue Leader next to Halo?
I don't think ATI and Nintendo are unhappy, considering how ATI is bragging using Zelda at CES, but 2 is better than 1. |
Yes, I didnt say they would dev for xbox. They just seem like they might make one for cube. I guess my edit didnt go through after I posted that this morning.

Hope you guys have heard about the Nvidia GeForce FX. It might very well be the most powerful graphics card, not a giant leap past the ATI Radeon 9700 PRO though. ATI stands a better chance but I doubt Nvidia will go out as quietly as 3Dfx. *moment of silence*
