News - Nvidia exec says new consoles will never challenge PC graphics

Sore much.......

Their fault for thinking they dominate the market and have no competition. Sounds like Intel when they chose not to put their chips in the iPhone....

Kind of stating the obvious, really. The whole idea of consoles is that everyone is running the same hardware, more or less. For that to work, the hardware *has* to get old and lag behind, otherwise we'd need new consoles every 6 months - which defeats the whole point.

Well no admittedly not - but his point about the theoretical best console is hard to disagree with isn't it. I think this generation has shown the way for future consoles - essentially small form PCs to go in your living room, and as he points out, they are never going to exceed what is already available at the top end (or in this case, even mid-range) of the PC market.

Yeah I agree with him, but he just had no reason to say it other than being bitter as far as I can see.

interesting he says sony and microsoft are not going to spend 10 billion on graphics research.. well of course not.. thats why there using amd who have already spent the money on research to come up with suitable products

NVidia is bithching around since AMD won both or 3 consoles. NVidia is blood sucking company, like a little baby wimpering for the chance that slipped from their hands. I bet they would ever, never talk like this if they had won at least wii u. Probably they would say how wii u is stronger than PS4 in that case. Its just a marketing fasade. I know NVidia titan is a strong card -just AMD R9-290X can beat it thought , but how should I justify 1000$ for this card that no measure says that it deserves this much money. For 400$ in the other side I get PS4 that has the graphics almost identical and only those that want to critisize those tiny details that seperate Titan from PS4. Oh if I buy titan thought i Have to buy a CPU that is capable of driving this card, I don't want to bottleneck this card so I have to buy a CPU that costs more than 300$ plus HDD,SDD plus Memory Plus a good motherboard, a strong powersupply to not fry my money... Sum it up and here you have a PC that costs way over 1600$ or probably more. So like Linus Torvalds says to NVidia f**k U NVIDIA. (Sorry for my weak english).
