I wonder if we'll see IBM get into video games before too long. Or buying a lesser known streaming company like Mixer? It would seem like an odd fit, but it wouldn't be too surprising.
- larrik 7y agoI mean, at one point (GameCube/PS2/XBox era) IBM was making the chips for all 3 major consoles. I think they've been in video games for a long time.
- Nursie 7y agoPS3 I think (Cell), and Xbox 360 (tri-core Power chip IIRC). Was the PS2 one of theirs as well?
- chungus_khan 7y agoNo, the PS2 was MIPS. IBM did do the GameCube, Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U though.
- larrik 7y agoYup, I was a generation too early
- aquova 7y agoMixer was bought out by Microsoft a few years ago
- Bombthecat 7y agoThat's how unknown it is :)
- HeWhoLurksLate 7y ago...and it's been integrated into a couple of MS games, too. Forza Horizons 4 has Mixer integrations, and even gives you a bonus experience multiplier for streaming or something like that.
- bsder 7y agoIBM specifically did a custom version of PowerPC (the 602) for 3DO for their video game consoles. IBM has been in video game hardware for a long time.
