Not suprised, Nvidia is truly an awful company

Both Nvidia and Intel were THE companies at the time but the x86 instruction set was known. That didn't mean that Intel wouldn't play hardball when selling MS their CPU and force MS into licensing POWER. I don't know if anyone remembers it but the Xbox went away from store shelves well before the the 360 arrived for a reason.

Oh I remember, I believe they stop making them 6 months before the 360 was released
