IBM won all three consoles last time, PowerPC doesn't look particularly strong now, if anything it looks like it's dying. I assume the deal wasn't structured as a per chip sales deal but a design engagement that left ms, Sony and Nintendo free to make fabrication deals with their various design products with whomever can fab them. I could see Amd making similar deals where Intel wouldn't touch that. If they can develop a hugged ARM story, I could see that being compelling.
