Nvidia anticipates big bucks from Playstation 3 deal

Sony was -and still is - desperate

 

A YEAR AND A HALF ago, Sony asked Nvidia to provide a graphics chip to power its PS3 console, after the graphic performance of its own complex Cell chippery proved pretty disastrous.

 

Having got itself in a bit of a pickle, Sony didnʼt have much choice other than turn to Nvidia. Microsoft and Nintendo were already working with ATI for the chips for their graphics consoles. There was no-where else to turn.

 

Nvidia told Sony that its best chip for the job would be its G71 - a G70 manufactured on 90 nanometre process - and that it would be able deliver the volumes of these chips by shipping date.

 

And, knowing the bind Sony was in, Nvidia was able to extract a great price from the Japanese giant, our sources claim.

 

Nvidia has been solidly producing G71 chips for a quarter now and many of these chips are reserved for Sony. The mighty Sony might be set to launch its console by the end of the year and Nvidia will have to ramp as many chips as Sony needs.

 

According to our whisperers, is that instead of two to three bucks per RSX, G71 chip, which is Nvidia's usual rate, Nvidia got seven - or more - bucks per chip. It means that Nvidia really wants to sell its G71 chips to Sony and that it will be making much more money on the consoles than ATI with its Xenos chip for the Xbox.

 

And Nvidia has plans to shrink the G71 die to 65 nanometres in the second half of 2007. That will allow it to make even more money on the chips, as you can put more 65 nanometre chips on a 300 millimetre wafer.

 

So suddenly, after finding the troubles with Cell became a blessing for Nvidia, the graphics chip firm will now be praying Sony can ship its Playstation 3 consoles on time, or thereabouts. µ

Rumored TGS Game List

by Justin Pinter

 

Recently a Sony employee from Tokyo came out and leaked a list of games that Sony will be showcasing at this years Tokyo Game Show. The employee asked to be unnamed due the fact he would be fired for such a statment. So since there is no actual name to back this source we must say that this is only speculation and that there is the possiblity of the source being false information and hype.

 

The games that he listed to show at TGS 2006 are as follows:

- Resident Evil 5

- Devil May Cry 4

- Assassin's Creed

- Grand Theft Auto IV

- Siren 3

- Metal Gear Solid 4

- Final Fantasy XIII

- Tekken 6

- Silent Hill 5

- SpiderMan 3

 

Now for more surprisingly announced titles to show at TGS:

- Killzone 3

- Fatal Frame 4

- Onimusha 5

- Kingdom Hearts 3

- Sequel to Shadow of the Colossus

- Sneak Peak at God of War 3

- Ninja Gaiden 2

- Battlefield 3 or believed to be Battlefield 2142

- Sneak Peak at Zone of the Enders 3

 

Now most of these titles are expected to be seen at TGS since some were non-existant at E3 this year. The Tokyo Game Show is usually a chance for Eastern game developers to show off their new games and Western developers are rarely seen at the event. That is why it's hard to think that titles like Battlefield 3 and Killzone will be shown at the event.

 

However there is confirmation that most, if not all of these titles are in development so to toss out the possibilty of the games being shown at TGS may not be the best way to go. For example, just recently, creative director David Jaffe at Sony Santa Monica hinted on his blog that God of War is a trilogy and that we will perhaps be seeing a third installment. Also the fact that Kindom Hearts 3 is a possibilty, since there is a secret KH3 trailer at the end of beating KH2 in proud mode.

 

Once again though, PS3Land must remind you that this information does not have a direct source and the information was suppossidly leaked as well as this is probably not a complete list of the games that will show, just some. Until further notice from Sony or until TGS actually rolls around everything is a wait and see. And if all this information is true, sorry we spoiled the show for you!
