Nvidia’s original Xbox win was a sizable windfall for the company in 2002-2003 and the GPU designs of the Xbox 360 and PS3 (built by AMD and Nvidia respectively) were topics of intense discussion when those consoles were new and exciting.
Given these upsides, it might seem odd that Nvidia apparently walked away from the negotiating table with Sony on the PS4.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
blah blah blah.. and nVidia cured cancer. Anything else that is new?
And now they are crying abouyt it. Lol.
Nvidia sounds like there upset that Sony went with the better deal. If the wanted Sony they should of gave them a better deal.
There is some truth to the statement, Nvidia is in a better financial position than AMD so they are less likely to take a deal like this.
At the same time, Nvidia cannot offer a package like the APU used in the PS4 so even if Nvidia was willing to design portions of the console at a cheaper rate, someone else would need to design the CPU so it would be less cost effective for Sony.
Gotta love how they act... Well, if you didn't care about the console market why are you crying! I used to respect Nvidia but now they're acting like bitter brats....
