NVIDIA HAS MADE A big noise about Playstation 3 deal but unfortunately you won't see this console any time soon.
Nvidia stock holders definitely know about Sony and its Playstation 3 killer business and therefore Nvidia is recovering on the stock market. If Sony trusts in Nvidia, stockholders should too - that is the message.
So the Sony Playstation 3 is due to get out in spring 2006 for Japanese market. North America will get its version even later than that as it's expected that Americans and Canadians should be able to get one in fall of 2006. Europeans will have to wait a lot longer.
Sony will use its well known Cell processor, as we revealed here ages back. Nvidia will make a Playstation 3 chip but this cooperation could be much deeper than just Playstation 3 marchitecture. Time will tell.
Whatever happens we still have quite some time to tap our fingers and watch the industry panic. µ
