Ok, so let me get this straight. Nvidia is creating the GPU for the PS3, which works in tangant with Cell. Cell was developed and manufactured by Sony, Toshiba and IBM. IBM is also make the main CPU for the Xbox 2 that will be utilized by the next generation GPU created by ATI. ATI is also making the GPU for the next generation Nintendo, and the next Nintendo will use a CPU from IBM.

OMFG! SOAP OPERA! Everyone is fvcking everyone!
 
I'd say people should pick up nvidia stock (ticker:NVDA) after this announcement. It jumped up a small percentage, but the real gains will come when the PS3 launches.
 
This news has sealed the deal for me. I'm getting a PS3 for sure.

If they put some effort into multiplayer gaming with it, I'll grab one in the first months
