New battlefield for the GPU war to continue.

I wonder if it's related to the recent scrrapping of NV48 and NV50. Nvidia had to do something since ATI is the graphics chip supplier for the next xbox. Didn't Nvidia have a lot of problems getting MS to pay up for their chips? I am curious who MS will use for the third generation xbox if they mess up a deal with ATI. Maybe bitboys?

ATI also supplies the graphics for the Gamecube and most likely the next generation Nintendo too.
As you can see I have a graphics Card from each company.
