As you already know, AMD managed to score all three deals for new consoles and while it is clear that Nvidia was left out, recent statements that mobile devices will out-perform the current-gen consoles, that they are financially not worth their time as well as general critical attitude towards the consoles, certainly could not go without AMD's counter-statement saying that they "seem like sour grapes".

In an interview with Gaming Bolt, AMD's PR Robert Hallock said that recent Nvidia comments seem a bit like sour grapes to him and the in reality and according to industry legends like John Carmack, is that standardization of console hardware will bring not only cheaper games but will be quite easier for developer to transfer the game to multiple platforms. This will, in general, improve the quality of games as developers have more time to polish the game rather than to spend that time in porting the game to a different architecture.

Of course, Nvidia certainly cannot be happy with AMD's deal with all three console makers but AMD's push with Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) and the way that it is currently going sounds much better than anything we had so far. Robert Hallock noted that "We (AMD) are very proud to help enable this sort of ecosystem for game developers, and excited that such an ecosystem runs almost unilaterally on our hardware. I can’t imagine why anyone would willingly cede such a favorable situation.”

Winning console deals have always been a great victory in both CPU and GPU worlds and now AMD managed to get them both with its APUs, so we are quite sure that competition cannot be very happy about it.
